MMM-GooglePhotos

gonzonia

Sean,
It seems you make my favorite modules. I’m trying to get the GooglePhotos to work and it does if I leave it long enough. On startup though nothing shows (makes it real hard to configure the appearance). I’m seeing this in the log. Is the album I chose too big? I’m using the config you posted for fullscreen (except I changed to mode: hybrid).

well, the error log is saying just network problem. However I’m not in front of machine at this moment, but i’ll check this tomorrow

gonzonia

Thanks. Seems to be working now. Like I said, it starts out that way and then eventually loads fine. The album has about 900 photos I’m showing randomly. Trying to decide if I want them fullscreen or not…

gonzonia

@Sean It’s weird. I had it working. I went to adjust the settings (sizing didn’t look good) and then it stopped. Getting the network error consistently.

This is my latest config. I’ve tried various configurations of showWidth/showHeight and originalWidthPx/originalHeightPx

{
  module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    albumId: ["XXX"], // your album id(s) from result of 
   refreshInterval: 1000*60,  
    scanInterval: 1000*60*10, // too many scans might cause API quota limit also.
    //note(2018-07-29). It is some weird. API documents said temporal image url would live for 1 hour, but it might be broken shorter. So, per 10 min scanning could prevent dead url.
    sort: "random", //'time', 'reverse', 'random'
    showWidth: "800", // how large the photo will be shown as. (e.g;'100%' for fullscreen)
    showHeight: "600",
    originalWidthPx: 1920, // original size of loaded image. (related with image quality)
    originalHeightPx: 1080, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
    mode: "hybrid", // "cover" or "contain" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp)
    //ADDED. "hybrid" : if you set as "hybrid" it will change "cover" and "contain" automatically by aspect ratio.

There is nothing related to your network issue on this module. (At least, I think so)
I carefully guess these things;

WLAN sleeping feature might be activated in your RPI.
Your other module or other background process would make this.

gonzonia

@Sean
This module is the only one not working. though and you can see in the error I posted earlier it directly references the “photoslibrary.googleapis.com” which is why I suspected this module.

Currently I’m not running over wifi so it’s not that it’s sleeping.

I’ll keep trying things and see if I can find something with some consistency. Thanks for checking.

gonzonia

@Sean I’m starting to think the network error is irrelevant.
I am seeing the error sometimes not related to googleapis.com. In those cases the CalendarExt2 data isn’t fully loaded, I refresh and all seems good.

The config below seems to work.

{
  module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
  position: "fullscreen_below",
  config: {
    albumId: ["AD8YTEgKjrQhxAA_30358v4J7I7CXoa1_QIgcebrp1qLcFUvsIU5Hql3wPIvUDesZ72DYwbEhxSz"], // your album id(s) from result of `auth_and_test.js`
   refreshInterval: 1000*60,  
    scanInterval: 1000*60*10, // too many scans might cause API quota limit also.
    //note(2018-07-29). It is some weird. API documents said temporal image url would live for 1 hour, but it might be broken shorter. So, per 10 min scanning could prevent dead url.
    sort: "random", //'time', 'reverse', 'random'
    showWidth: "100%", // how large the photo will be shown as. (e.g;'100%' for fullscreen)
    showHeight: "100%",
    originalWidthPx: 1920, // original size of loaded image. (related with image quality)
    originalHeightPx: 1080, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
    mode: "hybrid", // "cover" or "contain" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp)
    //ADDED. "hybrid" : if you set as "hybrid" it will change "cover" and "contain" automatically by aspect ratio.
  }
  	},

Change to

 position: "top_left",
showWidth: "800",
showHeight: "600",
originalWidthPx: 800,
originalHeightPx: 600,

and it doesn’t

With your config (but change albumId - I cannot use your albumId), I can display.

Here is mine.

{
  module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    refreshInterval: 1000*60,
    scanInterval: 1000*60*10, 
    sort: "random", 
    showWidth: "800px", 
    showHeight: "600px",
    originalWidthPx: 800, 
    originalHeightPx: 600,
    mode: "hybrid", 
    albumId: ["AJQR3DjzfO6BkH5eSY1e6Dm3m49QVOmpmXgPy6BOecEwg-f_82H_UJ1v-dvzVIjuezDmb_snettC"],

For some reason noting is showing on the MagicMirror… I’ve pass the Auth test but still nothing is happening…
Here’s the test results:

What log says?

guythnick

I would have thought this had been asked, but I could not find it in this thread:

Is there any way to set the length of time (speed) the pictures will show for? I am using basically default settings in an album with 217 pictures, and the rate they display is very quick. Sometimes they will pop up several times a second, and then slow back down to around 10 seconds per picture. I would rather set it for 30 or even 60 seconds before it rotates. Is this possible?

mrdenmark

@guythnick
Try changing scaninterval and refreshinterval in the config

guythnick

@mrdenmark
My settings are as follows:

refreshInterval: 1000*60,  
scanInterval: 1000*60*10, // too many scans might cause API quota limit also.

So, that should be 1 minute and 10 minutes for refresh and scan intervals, respectively. I have tried changing this, and it does not affect the speed at which the individual pictures themselves transition.

Hi @Sean, i have a question about MMM-GooglePhotos. It(s possible to display a lot of google photos locations ?
that’s to say i want to display like a mosaic of six google photos on a same page.
I try to add for exemple two MMM-google photos on my config.js with differents album paths but only one photo is shown.
Have you an idea ?

A Former User

@MisterT
No, impossible, sorry. It is not designed for that purpose.

rogogu

Hey, first thank you for this great module!

Currently i have about 50 pictures in my google album and set the sorting to random. I think it all works as intendet but it would be nice if the pictures are only shown once until every picture in the album was displayed.

Do you think this is possible? Like assigning a specific number to each photo, putting it in an array when it was displayed and before the next one is shown it checks the array if the next photo was already displayed.

Greetings from Germany
Robert

sdetweil

@rogogu I would do it a different way, saves work…

the list is already ramdomized, so the code just walks thru the list.

I would add another parm, refreshAtEnd = true/false(default)

if the parm is true, then do NOT start the timer in node_helper

at refresh on end of list in true, then this.scanPhotos()

rogogu

@sdetweil okay this seems to do the job. but couldn´t this cause problems with the api limit or base url expiring when there are to many/less photos in the album? let´s say there are 100 photos and the refreshInterval is set to 1min. so it takes 100min before it scans the photos again…

sdetweil

@rogogu maybe… could be why it refreshes even tho not done

my code gets next image, and if not connected redoes the authentication…
I get the list and then walk the list

but it looks like code tries to handle that

  scanPhotos: function() {
    this.tempItems = []
    var auth = new Auth(this.authConfig)
    auth.on('ready', (client) => {
      this.accessToken = client.credentials.access_token
      this.getPhotos()
    })
  },

Mi è comparsa una scritta sul Mirror che è disponibile un aggiornamento del modulo MMM-GooglePhoto come si fa l’aggiornamento?Grazie.
