@clegallic and if u get a suspend() call, u stop polling the server and stop attempting to display, right?

[clegallic]

@sdetweil I wasn’t aware of the suspend()and resume() methods.

I will update the module to implement these methods.

Thank !

[clegallic]

It’s fixed now. Regards.

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.

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',

@sdetweil thanks that helped somewhat. now MM2 loads but i just have a white box. Making progress though.

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.
