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:

and here’s my config… (the size is just for testing)

{
module: “MMM-GooglePhotos”,
position: “top_left”,
config: {
albumId: “ABzt7NwkIe_XeUgaOezo-5u4fVUn5Gj7xhp1NfzTvGkZPLsd6Lw_99kXfEe1IOXnglPms7POrP4c”, // your album id(s) from result of auth_and_test.js
refreshInterval: 100060,
scanInterval: 100060*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: "1001px", // how large the photo will be shown as. (e.g;'100%' for fullscreen)
		showHeight: "1001px",
		originalWidthPx: 1001, // original size of loaded image. (related with image quality)
		originalHeightPx: 1001, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
		opacity: 1, // target "opacity" property (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_opacity.asp)
		mode: "contain", // "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.
	}
	},	

Hope you will be able to help me out…

@mosheva
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?

@guythnick
Try changing scaninterval and refreshinterval in the config

[guythnick]

@mrdenmark
My settings are as follows:

refreshInterval: 1000*60,  
scanInterval: 1000*60*10, // too many scans might cause API quota limit also.

So, that should be 1 minute and 10 minutes for refresh and scan intervals, respectively. I have tried changing this, and it does not affect the speed at which the individual pictures themselves transition.

Hi @Sean, i have a question about MMM-GooglePhotos. It(s possible to display a lot of google photos locations ?
that’s to say i want to display like a mosaic of six google photos on a same page.
I try to add for exemple two MMM-google photos on my config.js with differents album paths but only one photo is shown.
Have you an idea ?

@MisterT
No, impossible, sorry. It is not designed for that purpose.

Hey, first thank you for this great module!

Currently i have about 50 pictures in my google album and set the sorting to random. I think it all works as intendet but it would be nice if the pictures are only shown once until every picture in the album was displayed.

Do you think this is possible? Like assigning a specific number to each photo, putting it in an array when it was displayed and before the next one is shown it checks the array if the next photo was already displayed.

@rogogu I would do it a different way, saves work…

the list is already ramdomized, so the code just walks thru the list.

I would add another parm, refreshAtEnd = true/false(default)

if the parm is true, then do NOT start the timer in node_helper

at refresh on end of list in true, then this.scanPhotos()

[rogogu]

@sdetweil okay this seems to do the job. but couldn´t this cause problems with the api limit or base url expiring when there are to many/less photos in the album? let´s say there are 100 photos and the refreshInterval is set to 1min. so it takes 100min before it scans the photos again…
