Googlr Photos not syncing with MagicMirror

@sdetweil Hi Sam,
I am unclear where to put or do with the following code:
f running pm2 to auto launch, then pm2 logs --lines=xxx xxx is a number, try 50 but you may need more, say 100 or pm2 stop all cd ~/MagicMirror npm startI am also getting the following error message “Can’t find “MasterJH,” in your album list.” see text from terminal after launching Magic Mirror. The odd thing is it is showing 2 images from the MasterJH folder.

@synint said in Googlr Photos not syncing with MagicMirror:
“MasterJH,”
hmm…that trailing comma i bet
Can't find "MasterJH,"looks like you might have had a list and decided against it
all commands I give you are from a terminal window, or ssh session
-
@sdetweil Hi Sam,
I have removed the trailing comma and has made no difference.
Entered the following text in terminal and got the following message:
synint@raspberrypi:~ $ f running pm2 to auto launch, then
pm2 logs --lines=50
bash: f: command not found
bash: pm2: command not foundEntered the following text in terminal and Magic Mirror started but only showing 2 images
pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm startThe following is the text he terminal returned after entering the above text. I have also noticed that he Google News Feed is repeating the same two items.

@synint show the changed config for the album name .
albums is a list even if only one
from the docalbums: [],so you need
albums: ["MasterJH"],if there were more than one album
albums: ["MasterJH", "sams list"], -
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{ module: "MMM-GooglePhotos", position: "fullscreen_below", config: { albums: ["MagicMirror2024"], // Set your album name. like ["My wedding", "family share", "Travle to Paris"] updateInterval: 15 * 800, // minimum 10 seconds. sort: "random", // "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: 1200, timeFormat: "YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm", // Or `relative` can be used. debug: true, } }, -

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