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

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?

[clegallic]

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

[Jupter1]

@clegallic
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.

[Jupter1]

@clegallic
So I have tried to update node (v12.x) and voilà, now it works like a charm! Thank you for your support and this awsome module!

[clegallic]

I’m glad to hear that your problem is now resolved. Have fun with the module.

Regards,

Charles

Hello,
First of all thank you, great module.
I have a question regard the picture size, there is a way to automatic resize the picture to the max WxH that I config in the module setup?

[sdetweil]

@chen31 does the module readme give u any info on re/sizing image display?

[chen31]

@sdetweil
No.
I have been over this a few times, except the max W and H, nothing.

The max W/H cut the photo in my case.

Hi, after deleted my photo from google drive , it still show even I change

refreshDriveDelayInSeconds: 5000,
refreshSlideShowIntervalInSeconds: 15,

How can I clear cache ? any idea

thank you for your helping.

[emrah_asl]

I changed code like below to fix my problem @sdetweil in node_helper.js

getPhotos: async function() {

		// Check if need reload
		
		// Get cache if not already loaded and cache file exists (after a restart for example)
		if(!this.cache.created && this.cacheFileExists()){

			let needReload = !this.cache || (new Date().getTime() - this.cache.created) / 1000 > this.config.refreshDriveDelayInSeconds;

			// (re)create the cache if missing or expired
			if(needReload){
				this.log("No cache file, or expired, (re)creating it...");
				await this.createCache();
				this.cache.photos = await this.cache.photos.filter(photo=> !this.alreadySentPhotoIds.includes(photo.id));
			} else

			this.log("No memory cache, loading it from disk");
			await this.loadCache();

		} else this.createCache();

		return this.cache.photos;
	}

[sdetweil]

@emrah_asl you should submit that back to the author

github fork the repo (top right button)
download the fork
change the forked code,
git add/git commit/ git push
then github create pull request to author

then U have your saved copy on fork, and have contributed to improved module

[emrah_asl]

@sdetweil Sure. I will this tomorrow, I’m just testing the changes.

this time, client always sending request to google drive.

I am not sure that my tricks are correct way.

Hi @chen31

The module is designed to adapt the display size of the image based on your maxWidth and maxHeight configuration (see there)

If it does not works, perhaps the display is cut by another module above on your MagicMirror ?

If not, can you share a screenshot to let me understand the problem.

Regards,

Charles

[clegallic]

@emrah_asl
Hi,

@sdetweil is right, feel free to create a pull request.

If you want to force cache reloading, you can also delete the .cache file in the module folder.

The default cache lifetime is 24 hours (refreshDriveDelayInSeconds configuration parameter).

Charles

Hi Charles,
I went through this one more time and these are pictures that are portait.
I saw that it’s in your TO DO list.

Thank you.

[emrah_asl]

@clegallic I think there is an issue here,

I deleted one image 2 days ago, from google drive also I deleted content from cache file.

But I see, it 'is still showing.

When I add new ımage, it automatically detecting in 10 seconds to show this, but when I delete this it is not working same style.

Can we optimize it at least one hour to refresh caches ?

[amanzimdwini]

@clegallic - I am on a Rasp3A, but fully patched (npm 6.14.8, node 10.23.0, nodejs 10.23.0).
As su, I fail npm run token:generate - with a

Type Error: cannot read property '0' of undefined...

(there is more). Upon inspection MY credentials.json file starts like

{"web":{"client_id

while your example begins

{"installed":{"client_id

(the rest looks similar to your example) Any idea what I did wrong? If I just replace my “web” with “installed”, I still fail.
Thanks,
K
