        I am not having any luck installing this module. It is probably user error. I have MM2 up and running but when I paste the code and restart MM2 is tells ,e i need to create a config.js file.

        WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js:56

        Do I need to add anything to the ID? I have tried adding quotes but that did not seem to work.

        thanks

          @cgethycx said in MMM-GoogleDriveSlideShow:

          rootFolderId: my id is here,

          the rules for values in config.js

          whatever to the right of : if its numbers (1, or 21.25) or true/false it does not need quotes
          if it contains letters or spaces (this is a test, or 232130-1485i2jelnefkhwerh (apikey) it must be quoted,
          single or double doesn’t matter as long as start and end are the same.

          so, under the rules above
          this

           rootFolderId: my id is here,
          

          should be at least

           rootFolderId: 'my id is here',

              Hi,

              You have to configure the module with the ID of the Google Drive folder (rootFolderId) where your photos are stored.

              You can check a complete answer here : https://github.com/clegallic/MMM-GoogleDriveSlideShow/issues/2#issuecomment-658843412

              Regards,

                Hi,
                first of all, I really like the ideaof the module. But I am currently stuck at creating the authentification with google and then the token. In step 7 of your readme, I have no “other” option to choose, so I chose “web application”. But in step 9 (using VNC to access the magic mirror), the authentification fails.

                Do you have any idea what is my mistake?

                  Hi Jupter,

                  I don’t think you made a mistake, and that the “type” choice at step 7 has any importance.

                  Can you check that your credentials.json file looks like that ?

                  {"installed":{"client_id":"[something].apps.googleusercontent.com","project_id":"[something]","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"[something]","redirect_uris":["urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob","http://localhost"]}}
                  

                  Can you send me the detail of the error while trying to authenticate at step 10 ?

                  Regards,

                  Charles

                    Hi,
                    thank you for the overall looking of the JSON string. I checked it, it was not in this format. So I chose “Desktop” and now I got a credentials.json file that looks like your example. Then I tried again with a fresh module install from github. It still did not work.

                    Here is the debug-log, that I get from npm. I hope you can help me with that.

                      Hi,

                      I can’t see any clue in your logs that can explain the issue.
                      My Node version is slightly more recent than yours (v10.17.0 when yours is v6.14.2), it may be a reason.

                      Can you try to run the npm run token:generatecommand through SSH ?
                      Do you have the same error ?

                      Regards,

                      Charles

                        Thank you for your support. I will try to update node and see if that fixes the problem and/or if running it via ssh changes anything when I am home again next week.
