MMM-GooglePhotos

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?

Try changing scaninterval and refreshinterval in the config

@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 ?

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

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.

@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()

@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()
    })
  },

my auth_and_test is not working. it worked like a year ago, but I haven’t used it since. I’m really new and don’t really know what I’m doing. this is what i get:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos $ node auth_and_test.js

Any suggestions?

@Samwise usually means the authentication code has expired.

remove your current token.json and try again.

Dear Sean,

It seems the node auth_and_test.js command throws an error on my side :

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos $ node auth_and_test.js
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos/auth.js:32
  const oauthClient = new OAuth2Client(key.client_id, key.client_secret, key.redirect_uris[0]);
                                           ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'client_id' of undefined

It seems it cannot read my client_id from credentials.json file… do you have an idea ?
Thanks a lot for your help !

@lucBtrl first, remove your credentials and create it again.

ok, so it worked, but then when i tried to set which album i wanted, it said this:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos $ nano MMM-GooglePhotos.js
nano: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

A Former User

@Samwise
I can’t understand why you did this;

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos $ nano MMM-GooglePhotos.js

You don’t need to (and shouldn’t) modify source code. use your config/config.js.

And, the error

nano: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

comes from your system, not my module. Maybe your system has been missing something.

Samwise

ok i think everything is in order, but the pictures don’t actually show up…
