MMM-GooglePhotos

[MisterT]

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()

[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()
    })
  },

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.

@Samwise
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
    at new Auth (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos/auth.js:32:44)

    at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:623:3)

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.

[Samwise]

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…

[A Former User]

@Samwise
Don’t know what happens without details. What does the log say?

[Samwise]

@Sean where do i find the log?

Also, this popped up: pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

magicmirror@2.7.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
sh run-start.sh

@Sean

Thanks a lot Sean !
It appears indeed that the credentials generated was not the right type (I may have not selected the right option in google api console). Worked better the second time !

Marvelous results of the module
