Each instance would be rendering different doms but they have same “Id”. That would make this behavior. Sorry, I haven’t considered duplicated instances on development.
If you want duplicated instances, modify source where “id” is used.
By example;
wrapper.id = “GPHOTO”

Is there any error or suspicious log message on execution? Without log, I cannot guess what happened.

Hi there,
is it possible just to show the last three images of the given album ? And moreover is there any chance to display the comments which belongs to the photo ?

@gekberlin

1. Cannot limit the number currently. And I thought, If you want just a few pictures, you’d better to store your photos locally and to display them with other local-based module.
   The better way I think is, to create new album for selected photos and use it.
2. There is no API to get comment. Sorry.

Thank you for making this great module and a very a good set of instuctions. I am struggling with the last step.

I run the node auth_and_test.jsand it opens the browser windows asking me to login. I proceed to do that, go through my 2FA and then land on a page which is asking me to select a google account form a list of 1 (just my account). Clicking my account just redirects me back to the same exact page. Have you seen this issue before? Any idea on how to fix this?

@redink Somebody has same issue. Copy the URL and use another browser. (Or another device - like your dev pc). I think it could be some kind of cookie issue.

[redink]

Thanks for the quick reply. I assumed this had to happen from the exact same machine that MagicMirror was running out, because it would set a local cookie or something. But, I’ll try opening the URL from a different machine and report back tonight.

[redink]

It worked! Thanks!
Is there a config to fade the picture, or do an 50% transparent black overlay? I am sure I can do this with some custom CSS, but was wondering of the module supports it.

[A Former User]

@redink adjust css. i prefer to control looks by css.

[redink]

Thanks!

For anyone who wants to do the same, just add the following to your custom.css file

#GPHOTO{
     /*1 is fully opaque, 0 is fully transparent*/
    opacity: 0.3 !important;
}

Is there a way to have videos play as well?

First, thanks for a great module. Its greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to prevent API requests during certain time periods? I have 14000 photos in an album that is only going to grow with time which is going to kill my API requests but I don’t need requests to take place at 2AM for instance.

@orayoflighto do u put your mirror to sleep when u are not around? it should not fetch new images while mirror is asleep…

@sdetweil @orayoflighto
I’ll update(or build newly) about it on next patch.

[orayoflighto]

@Sean looking forward to it. Thanks again for an awesome module.

@sdetweil I now have a cron job to turn the monitor off. Is that what you mean by “sleep”? Does that stop the API requests?

[sdetweil]

@orayoflighto sadly no. The MagicMirror code doesn’t know the screen is off

@Sean I don’t know how you keep your patients with all of us. I’m using many of your modules, so thanks for your contribution to the masses.

Has anyone noticed that when you sort with “time” that it pulls photos from google in the order in which each photo was uploaded, and not the order you put them in the album.

I have 12 pictures in my album that I have put in order to represent each calendar month. Is there a way to force the module to sort according the album order, and not time?
