      MMM-GoogleDriveSlideShow allows you to display a slideshow of your photos stored in Google Drive.
      The MMM-GooglePhotos module allows to display photos stored in Google Photo, but as my photos are stored in Google Drive, I’ve created this module to create a slideshow of these photos on the Magic Mirror screen.

      The module is highly configurable :

      • Google Drive root folder
      • Theming
      • Number of folders to scan / photos to retrieve
      • Refresh interval of the slideshow and periodic scan of Google Drive
      • Integration with other modules notifications (PIR sensor for example to display next image)
      • Play mode (automatic, manual)

      Thanks to the MM team and all the community for their great work !

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

          I will update the module to implement these methods.

          Thank !

              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

                      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
