I guess the reason is the scope rule. “readonly” is set for the scope of API using. I’ll change it to “https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.sharing”, but it’s just guessing. Test will be needed.
After fixing, I’ll tell you.
(Today, I purchased my new MBP and am migrating, so I’m not ready to develop something, so it’ll take somewhat time.)

Fixed. (I think). Try it. (just git pull, no need to npm install)

mediaItem:search API could access photos shared from others, but mediaItem/ID API couldn’t. It looks so weird. Anyway, I changed it to use mediaItem:search. The only risk is expiration of temporary image URL, so you’d better keep scanInterval under 1 hour.

Awesome! That worked and solved it!

I’ll need to pay around a bit with the sizes in the config (hopefully not the code) to see if I can get the images to display in the screen fully.

For now the images are being cropped as they are larger than the display area on the screen.

Again thank you!

@kapsolas set the mode to cover or contain. cover will be fit your entire region as large as possible but cropped, contain will show the entire image but has some black tape around top and bottom or left and right by the ratio of photo width/height like movie film.

Hello i use node auth_and_test.js but i dont have any album ID in terminal only info : auth_and_test started.
What to do to get album ID ??

kapsolas

If you don’t see any response, it may be because an error is being returned by Google. Errors in the script are suppressed now.

If you are familiar with updating the code, you can add a console.log(body) message to see the error.

Hi Sean,

Great work.

Just set this up, all went ok to the point where the photo’s don’t display.
I have a section on the MM screen cleared where the default 800x600 image would be displayed, but it is a black screen. I have the following error on the console after starting MM.sh appearing every refresh interval.
“There is no scanned photo currently.”
The album has several photo’s within it, The album name appeared next to the Album ID, I’ve copied the Album ID only into my config.

Any pointers would be great.

Thanks again!

@richfreeman
DOH
Remove the <>
Change “<>” to simply “Album ID”
No <> needed.
Photo’s appeared !
Thanks.
