Help please!!

Hello,
I want my mirror to display images that have been uploaded onto google photos.
I used the MMM-GooglePhotos module and I have configured it. However, the image does not show up instead it says “Loading…”

It hasn’t loaded in a long time. Could you tell me what the issue can be?
This is the code in the config.sj

{
module: “MMM-GooglePhotos”,
position: “middle_center”,
config: {
albums: [“DesignMirror”], // Set your album name. like [“My wedding”, “family share”, “Travle to Paris”]
updateInterval: 1000 * 60, // minimum 10 seconds.
sort: “new”, // “old”, “random”
uploadAlbum: null, // Only album created by create_uploadable_album.js.
condition: {
fromDate: null, // Or “2018-03”, RFC … format available
toDate: null, // Or “2019-12-25”,
minWidth: null, // Or 400
maxWidth: null, // Or 8000
minHeight: null, // Or 400
maxHeight: null, // Or 8000
minWHRatio: null,
maxWHRatio: null,
// WHRatio = Width/Height ratio ( ==1 : Squared Photo, < 1 : Portraited Photo, > 1 : Landscaped Photo)
},
showWidth: 800, // These values will be used for quality of downloaded photos to show. real size to show in your MagicMirror region is recommended.
showHeight: 600,
timeFormat: “YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm”, // Or relative can be used.
}
},

Thank you! Would appreciate it a lot.

@innovation , why you not use MMM-ImagesPhotos? There you have a folder, “uploads”, where you can upload your photos.

[innovation]

@George Hello, yes I could but I want to be able to upload the images from my phone - so that it can be displayed onto the mirror. Is that possible?

[sdetweil]

@innovation I have a module that provides a QR code image that lets u upload pics from your phone to whatever source you choose.

I use imagesphotos as my photo display module

see
https://github.com/sdetweil/uploadPics

I need to debug the Google photos problem as I advised my brother in law to use that.

u did provide a credit card as part of the Google account setup, right? you must

Very interesting module. How do you configure exactly the config.js? I have e message on the mirror with undefined. Here is my config file :

{
module: ‘uploadPics’,
position: ‘bottom_left’,
config: {
dest: “/home/pi/MagicMirror/module/MMMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads”,
}
},

@sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@barlouka did u run the npm install?

the doc says exactly for imagesphotos and it’s the default. so u don’t have to add the dest value

dest:'../modules/MMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads'

there are two programs launched in the background…

qrcp
and
exiftran

can u try to run those in a terminal window

with --help as a parm

[sdetweil]

unrelated to my module, GP module works great (new gransdon)

[sdetweil]

[innovation]

@sdetweil Hey it is showing ‘Undefined’ for me too.
I did run the npm install.

{
module: ‘uploadPics’,
position: ‘bottom_left’, //module position
config: {
dest: “…/module/MMMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads”,
}
},

[sdetweil]

@innovation

there are two programs launched in the background…

qrcp
and
exiftran

can u try to run those in a terminal window

also, look in the terminal window where you do npm start

[innovation]

@sdetweil --help qrcp?

[sdetweil]

@innovation no…
qrcp --help
and
exiftran --help

[innovation]

@sdetweil It says ‘command not found’

[sdetweil]

@innovation k… hang on

[barlouka]

@sdetweil also command not found

[sdetweil]

@barlouka ok, go to the module folder and do git pull

then do npm install again

then test qrcp --help

[innovation]

@sdetweil It still shows command not found

[sdetweil]

@innovation yeh, crazy… how it ever worked before I don’t know

ONE more time git pull, npm install

[innovation]

@sdetweil Haha sure! Just to clarify in
‘-/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics’ folder in the terminal right?

[sdetweil]

@innovation but the module wants RELATIVE to it… NOT absolute

SO, …/MMM-ImagesPhotos/upload

… means back up one level

and, if you are using the MMM-ImagesPhotos module to display images, then the uploadPics dest: default is …/MMM-ImagesPhotos/upload

from the readme

	dest:  "..", // relative path to module showing images, place to put new images
            // for MMM-ImagesPhotos dest is (the default)
	//  ../modules/MMMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads
