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 startup (internal/bootstrap/node.js:283:19)
    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

@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…

@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

[ayangu]

@Sean I logged into my google account and allowed consent. However, once I input the code back into the terminal, all I get is auth_and_test started.

What am I doing wrong?

@ayangu
when you did auth_and_test, token.json was created?

I am running MM on a RP zero W and I only have the RPi command line. It is running in server mode. When I execute node generate_token.js, it does not bring up a browser window where I can authorize for a token. Do I need to do something different?

[sdetweil]

@roccodicarlo open the chromium-browser to localhost:8080 to get the UI (if this is a graphical desktop pi 0)

when/how did u install? my automated script does the setup to run chromium if the graphical desktop exists

[roccodicarlo]

No this is not the graphical desktop, it is all CLI.

[sdetweil]

@roccodicarlo ok, then the token tool won’t work…

are u doing the cli on purpose?

[A Former User]

Copy url and open browser in other pc. Do the process then return to your rpi.

[roccodicarlo]

ok I will try. The reason I am doing cli was because with desktop gui, I found it very sluggish on the rpi zero.

@roccodicarlo
I’m worrying, your node version has to be ^8.3 at least.

[roccodicarlo]

My node version is 10.16…so it should be ok
