    1. 10,000 requests per project per day is allowed. In my calculation, 10 minutes as scanInterval is enough. Not only too short interval but also longer interval could be also problem, because temp URL of photo doesn’t live long. I fix scanInterval over 10 minutes to 10 minutes.
    2. Not possible at this moment, but I’m considering that feature.
    3. For last photo repeat issue : No. I think it might be bug. But on my test it didn’t happen. I’ll look inside.
    4. sort algorithm is here; https://github.com/eouia/MMM-GooglePhotos/blob/master/node_helper.js#L112

    EDITED
    2-1. Suddenly I’ve remembered why I didn’t make that feature. It was related with API quota. Since multi-album searching is not supported by API, module should scan each album on every scan time. It can consume API quota very soon. So I thought it could be problem on real usage.

      1. Thanks for your reply. I will set the Interval as you said.
      2. Regarding multiple albums - Now i get it based on your reply and Sean’s reply.
      3. I am using Random as the sort method.

      @Sean
      Thanks for response to all the questions.
      Regarding the Scan Finishing issue, I will try to change the Sort method and try again.

      Reason for asking multiple albums - I take family pics from 2 phones. Both syncing pictures to 2 different Google accounts. So there will be 2 albums. They are all automated and easy. I will work around by sharing one account into another, create an auto-album called ‘MagicMirror’. This should solve the issue.

        If multi-albums could be supported, multi-albums from different accounst would make a problem about managing 2 auths. It might be possible, but I have some doubt about whether it is really needed and useful.
        As you’ve said, shared album would be a better solution. At the moment when I created this, I was regarding that usage.
        Until now, I have half forgotten this module. After solving more urgent issues from my real life, I promise I’ll examine what lays about your scan finishing issue. Could you send me your configuration(without auth info) about this module via email? My email address is eouia0819@gmail.com. And tell me how much photos in your album also.
        Thanks.

          Thanks @Sean
          Will send in the config tonight in email.
          I think Shared Album should work. Will try that once I find some time over weekend.
          I have 3K pictures for now from one phone. More coming from other device (another account which I will try to put in shared album).

            @sean You mention 10,000 requests per day. Does the number of requests go up with the number of photos in the album? If the album had 1000 photos, would that be a problem? Or is that fine as long as the photos aren’t changing too often?

              If you have 1000 Photos in an album, and scanning per 10 minutes

              • on each scan; 20 API quota will be consumed. (max items driven per request are 50)
              • for 24H running, 144 scans will be performed.
              • Total consumption : 20 * 144 = 2880 APIs
              • Around 3000 photos could be safely scanned with 10min scan cycle.

              However after this calculation, I think I’d better to add a feature to suspend and resume for unused(or hidden) module status.

                See above post.
                I think your problem might be caused by number of photos. API request quota might be over the limits. It could not get new photos from server, so last picture is only you could have at the moment.
                I’m guessing how to solve this kind of problem now. Hmmm…
                Growing scanInterval up is not so safe, Because Life of temp url of photo is somewhat short, the url could be expired. Hmmmm… difficult.

                  @Sean :
                  Got the scan calculation of how you got 2880 . thanks.

                  Question:
                  Does the Scan calculation mean If scanned every 10 mins, a total of 2880 photos will be scanned in 24 hours?

                  If refresh Interval is every 1 minute, then 60*24 = 144 photos out of the 2880 photos will be shown?

                    1api request could get 50 pics. 1000 pics need 20 api request. (1 scan)
                    1440scan(1min for 24h) needs 28800 api requests. Thats quota over.

                      Hello,
                      I have installed this module and all options are working Except Fullscreen. When i setup to 100% nothing appears in Google Photos.
                      If i set resolution manually it works fine. what could be the reason.
                      Here is the setting.

                       sort: "time", //'time', 'reverse', 'random'
                          showWidth: "100%", // how large the photo will be shown as. (e.g;'100%' for fullscreen)
                          showHeight: "100%",
                          originalWidthPx: 1024, // original size of loaded image. (related with image quality)
                          originalHeightPx: 768, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
                          mode: "cover", // "cover" or "contain" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp)
