Thank you for your fast response and the links. I tried out adding the url_h parameter to the API request and it works. Mostly.

I put a longer write-up on my findings up on the Flickr Help forums:
https://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157689276350136/

Turns out it will not be easy and still may fail for older images.

The code I changed is in Photonic_Flickr_Processor.php and does help with the 1600px sizes.

Line 84 – extend the $flickr_params
$flickr_params['extras'] = 'description,url_h';

around Line 585 – change the way the main_image is returned in build_level_1_objects()

if(!empty($photo->url_h)) {
  $photo_object['main_image'] = $photo->url_h;
  } else {
  $photo_object['main_image'] = 'https://farm'.$photo->farm.'.static.flickr.com/'.$photo->server.'/'.$photo->id.'_'.$photo->secret.$main_size.'.jpg';
  }

This helps a bit for my site. Thanks for taking the time looking into it 🙂

Cheers,
Daniel
