MMM-GooglePhotos

[gonzonia]

Thanks. Seems to be working now. Like I said, it starts out that way and then eventually loads fine. The album has about 900 photos I’m showing randomly. Trying to decide if I want them fullscreen or not…

[gonzonia]

@Sean It’s weird. I had it working. I went to adjust the settings (sizing didn’t look good) and then it stopped. Getting the network error consistently.

This is my latest config. I’ve tried various configurations of showWidth/showHeight and originalWidthPx/originalHeightPx

{
  module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    albumId: ["XXX"], // your album id(s) from result of 
   refreshInterval: 1000*60,  
    scanInterval: 1000*60*10, // too many scans might cause API quota limit also.
    //note(2018-07-29). It is some weird. API documents said temporal image url would live for 1 hour, but it might be broken shorter. So, per 10 min scanning could prevent dead url.
    sort: "random", //'time', 'reverse', 'random'
    showWidth: "800", // how large the photo will be shown as. (e.g;'100%' for fullscreen)
    showHeight: "600",
    originalWidthPx: 1920, // original size of loaded image. (related with image quality)
    originalHeightPx: 1080, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
    mode: "hybrid", // "cover" or "contain" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp)
    //ADDED. "hybrid" : if you set as "hybrid" it will change "cover" and "contain" automatically by aspect ratio.

There is nothing related to your network issue on this module. (At least, I think so)
I carefully guess these things;

1. WLAN sleeping feature might be activated in your RPI.
2. Your other module or other background process would make this.

@Sean
This module is the only one not working. though and you can see in the error I posted earlier it directly references the “photoslibrary.googleapis.com” which is why I suspected this module.

Currently I’m not running over wifi so it’s not that it’s sleeping.

I’ll keep trying things and see if I can find something with some consistency. Thanks for checking.

@Sean I’m starting to think the network error is irrelevant.
I am seeing the error sometimes not related to googleapis.com. In those cases the CalendarExt2 data isn’t fully loaded, I refresh and all seems good.

The config below seems to work.

{
  module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
  position: "fullscreen_below",
  config: {
    albumId: ["AD8YTEgKjrQhxAA_30358v4J7I7CXoa1_QIgcebrp1qLcFUvsIU5Hql3wPIvUDesZ72DYwbEhxSz"], // your album id(s) from result of `auth_and_test.js`
   refreshInterval: 1000*60,  
    scanInterval: 1000*60*10, // too many scans might cause API quota limit also.
    //note(2018-07-29). It is some weird. API documents said temporal image url would live for 1 hour, but it might be broken shorter. So, per 10 min scanning could prevent dead url.
    sort: "random", //'time', 'reverse', 'random'
    showWidth: "100%", // how large the photo will be shown as. (e.g;'100%' for fullscreen)
    showHeight: "100%",
    originalWidthPx: 1920, // original size of loaded image. (related with image quality)
    originalHeightPx: 1080, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
    mode: "hybrid", // "cover" or "contain" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp)
    //ADDED. "hybrid" : if you set as "hybrid" it will change "cover" and "contain" automatically by aspect ratio.
  }
  	},

Change to

 position: "top_left",
showWidth: "800",
showHeight: "600",
originalWidthPx: 800,
originalHeightPx: 600,

and it doesn’t

Hmmmm…

With your config (but change albumId - I cannot use your albumId), I can display.

Here is mine.

{
  module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    refreshInterval: 1000*60,
    scanInterval: 1000*60*10, 
    sort: "random", 
    showWidth: "800px", 
    showHeight: "600px",
    originalWidthPx: 800, 
    originalHeightPx: 600,
    mode: "hybrid", 
    albumId: ["AJQR3DjzfO6BkH5eSY1e6Dm3m49QVOmpmXgPy6BOecEwg-f_82H_UJ1v-dvzVIjuezDmb_snettC"],
  }
},

Hi,

For some reason noting is showing on the MagicMirror… I’ve pass the Auth test but still nothing is happening…
Here’s the test results:

Hope you will be able to help me out…

What log says?

[guythnick]

I would have thought this had been asked, but I could not find it in this thread:

Is there any way to set the length of time (speed) the pictures will show for? I am using basically default settings in an album with 217 pictures, and the rate they display is very quick. Sometimes they will pop up several times a second, and then slow back down to around 10 seconds per picture. I would rather set it for 30 or even 60 seconds before it rotates. Is this possible?

[mrdenmark]

@guythnick
Try changing scaninterval and refreshinterval in the config
