Well I have figured this out…it’s VERY simple.

IF You need the sh files to generate your info please go to my fork of this module…I’ve included them.

Thanks for this module. It works.
If we have visualization, it would be better.

@g_nandagpl Thank you for the feedback, glad you got this working

As for visualization, it turned out really laggy on Raspberry Pi, so I postponed it

I might re-visit this feature, maybe figure out a way to speed it up if there is enough interest

[cowboysdude]

@dolanmiu OH there’s interest. I"m using a real computer to run mine so not an issue :)

@cowboysdude thanks for the scripts! I’m trying to run auth_code.sh but I get the following errors, and no code to put in auth_code2.sh:

Any ideas what could be wrong?

[cowboysdude]

@jnstnr Yes I may have an idea…

open up both sh files and using your keyboard replace all the double quotes … for some reason they do not copy well. I did that and it ran great! :)

[jnstnr]

@cowboysdude just got home and tried it, replaced all " with ’

And now I get another error:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ bash auth_code.sh
auth_code.sh: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token (' auth_code.sh: line 10: perl -MURI::Escape -ne ‘chomp;print uri_escape($_),’\n’‘’

Pretty sure there’s a simple fix for line 10, but haven’t figured it out yet!

[jnstnr]

Scratch that, finally managed to get a refresh token! Added it to the config and getting a black screen now though :/

[cowboysdude]

@jnstnr Well past that I cannot help you…just double check your config and make it look like the example if that doesn’t solve it msg @dolanmiu He created this module :)

[jnstnr]

@cowboysdude Thanks. I managed to get this up and running, now trying to tackle my USB mic :) this isn’t the easiest module to get working!

But thanks for all your help, you’re doing great work for the magic mirror community
