How can I play shared albums for another account? Now I see the folders but I can’t play all of them. I must select them only one of a time.

Can you please implement multiple folder play feature?

Thx

At the moment google does not support this feature on their API.

No update, sorry. It didn't get in to the last update because it's too big / complex

But now is on google api, and you must implement it?

Cause if it’s on their api I will wait for your update

No, the Google Photos API does not allow querying multiple albums at once. I would have to try to merge multiple queries, while managing resources to ensure not too many queries go out (would get the app kicked off the API), and then de-duplicate on the fly. Difficult, and not a good investment of time -- will add a lot of complexity to already complex areas of code, and could make a lot of bugs

Too bad. It would deserve an xtra one time payable feature because this is the best use of such a tool. I definitely a lot of people want this.
