MMM-GooglePhotos

redink

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
