MMM-Assistant2Display doesn´t show any photos

[Klinge]

Hello,
I installed the modules MMM-GoogleAssistant and MMM-Assistant2Display.

But I have a problem with displaying photos.

When I sayed, “JARVIS, show me a video from the soccer game Brazil vs Germany”, a Youtube-Video will be shown.

But when I sayed, “JARVIS, show me a photo from a tree”, only a google-Link will be shown.

Here you can see my config file

var config = {
        address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
                              // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
                              // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
                              // - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
                              // Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
          electronOptions: {
                 webPreferences: {
                      webviewTag: true
                    }
                  },
        port: 8080,

                            }
                },

I enabled the debugging. But I don´t know, where I can find the logs.

Unfortunately I didn´t found something in this forum.

It would be great if someone could help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
usePhotos functionality is for displaying your own google photos album
So it’s not for displaying web-links, you can use links module for this

Hi,
thank you for your response.

Then I obviously got it wrong. I searched for the links module, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it or anything like this.

Please, can you give me a tip, which module you mean exactly.

Thanks in advance.
