Googlr Photos not syncing with MagicMirror

sdetweil

@synint show the changed config for the album name .

albums is a list even if only one
from the doc

albums: [],

so you need

albums: ["MasterJH"],

if there were more than one album

albums: ["MasterJH", "sams list"],

@sdetweil

Hi Sam, I have changed the reference to albums as detailed in your response above e.g. albums: [“MasterJH”], and still have the same issue of only two images showing.

I have now deleted MasterJH on Google Photos and and created a MagicMirror2024 folder see Config file below and when I run MagicMirror it still show the two images from the original folder even after I have deleted the folder. I am thinking may be the next step would be to rebuild MagicMirror on a new SD card and see if I cam run it without the errors. However, any other suggestions would be appreciated as I feel I am so close to getting MajgicMirror up and running.

Latest Config file

{
				module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
				position: "fullscreen_below",
				
				config: {
				albums: ["MagicMirror2024"], // Set your album name. like ["My wedding", "family share", "Travle to Paris"]
				updateInterval: 10 * 800, // 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: 1366, // Or 400
				maxWidth: 1366, // Or 8000
				minHeight: 768, // Or 400
				maxHeight: 768, // 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: 1200,
				timeFormat: "YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm", // Or `relative` can be used.
  }
},

@synint the module builds a cache folder… so maybe erasing that will help?

what are the log messages?

RESOLVED

Hi Sam, I have resolved it and thank you, thank you and thank you it was only through your guidance and help that made me look deeper to resolve the issue.

SOLUTION

In a YouTube video I had seen it advised setting the minWidth 1366 and maxHeight to 768 this is the resolution of the TV I am using. Looking at a post on Git hub some one said change the minWidth and maxHeight to null and it does not matter what size your images are (see config file below) and after reboot everything works as it should.

Cheers,
John

@synint yes, the example in the module doc uses null. and I never set the sizes
