    @kivlow
    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

        @naththedude
        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

                    Hmmm… very weird.
                    Could you try this?

                    cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos
                    nano test.js
                    

                    Then, copy below and paste

                    'use strict';
                    
                    const request = require('request')
                    
                    const Auth = require('./auth.js')
                    
                    var authConfig = {
                      keyFilePath: "./credentials.json",
                      savedTokensPath: "./token.json",
                      scope: "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly"
                    }
                    
                    const auth = new Auth(authConfig)
                    
                    auth.on('ready', (client) => {
                      console.log("auth_and_test started.")
                      var token = client.credentials.access_token
                      console.log("token:", token)
                      function getAlbum(client, pageSize=50, pageToken="") {
                        var url = 'https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums'
                        url = url + "?pageSize=" + pageSize + "&pageToken=" + pageToken
                        console.log("url:", url)
                        request.get(
                          url,
                          {
                            json:true,
                            auth: {"bearer": token},
                          },
                    
                          (err, res, body) => {
                            console.log("response:", body)
                            if (err) {
                              console.log("Error: ", err)
                              process.exit(1);
                            }
                            var found = 0
                            for (var i in body.albums) {
                              var album = body.albums[i]
                              console.log (album.title, " : ", album.id)
                              found++;
                            }
                            if (body.nextPageToken && found > 0) {
                              getAlbum(client, pageSize, body.nextPageToken)
                            }
                          }
                        )
                      }
                      getAlbum(client, 50)
                    })
                    

                    Then, close and save (Ctrl+X and Y and enter)
                    Then try.

                    node test.js
                    

                    And show me the result.
