      What kind of RPI do you use? As you said “taskbar”, Is it RPI 2 or 3 with Jessie or Stretch Desktop, right?
      And, Have RPI had any browser (Chromium or Midori?)?

      I’ll change some code for the case of not opening browser automatically, Please wait a while.

          I’ve fixed.

          cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos
          git pull
          node auth_and_test.js
          

          You can see like this image;

          When the browser is not be opened automatically, copy the url and paste it into your browser manually.

            Hi Sean,

            Firstly thank you for this, it has great potential and is something that has been missing for such a long time compared to the alternative dakboard that I was forced to use to get photos displayed.

            I have an issue though, I believe I have been through the steps correctly but can not get it to work. When I reboot my RPI2 it looks like the ‘auth_and_test.js’ is ran and this brings up the browser with googlin login and if I follow this through it gives me the code which is the same experience I have when running ‘auth_and_test.js’ in order to get the album id.

            This then repeats itself every 5mins or so…

            I have added the album id in the config.js but it does not seem to matter if I put a correct or incorrect one in here the same happens. It does not look like it trys to put images on the desktop so I don’t think the module is getting that far.

            Any idea what I have done wrong?

            Thanks

            Nathan

              You mean, your MM is trying to re-auth again(every 5 mins.) right?
              First, you should check whether you have token.json in root directory of MMM-GooglePhotos.

              cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos
              cat token.json
              

              It should be something similar with this;

              {"access_token":"...","token_type":"Bearer","scope":"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly","expiry_date":1533304224450,"refresh_token":"..."}
              

              Your simptom would happen when token.json is missed.

              token.json should be generated as result of auth_and_test.js

                Hey @Sean ,

                Thank you for your quite reply, you are correct the token.josn file was missing. Looks like I needed to run ‘node auth_and_test’ as sudo for this file to be created. Once I did this the photos started to appear :) just need to configure the size and position now.

                Thank you again.

                Regards

                Nathan

                  @naththedude good to you.
                  The only thing I worry is, if you run as sudo there could be a possibility of a problem to refresh token with proper authority.

                      @kivlow show me what is seen when you execute node auth_and_test.js. (Do not need to use sudo)

                      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos
                      node auth_and_test.js
