@kivlow At your first execution, have you countered allowance process?

Hi Sean,
Great work.
Just set this up, all went ok to the point where the photo’s don’t display.
I have a section on the MM screen cleared where the default 800x600 image would be displayed, but it is a black screen. I have the following error on the console after starting MM.sh appearing every refresh interval.
“There is no scanned photo currently.”
The album has several photo’s within it, The album name appeared next to the Album ID, I’ve copied the Album ID only into my config.Any pointers would be great.
Thanks again!

DOH
Remove the <>
Change “<>” to simply “Album ID”
No <> needed.
Photo’s appeared !
Thanks. -

At myr first execution terminal not react over 5min after auth_and_test command and i have info to kill suspended process.
After that when i wrote auth_and_test i get only info that is started :/ -
@kivlow
I suspect you have executednode auth_and_test.js
in shell terminal on your PC via SSH. right?
If you run that commands on your RPI directly, it should try to open a browser for authenticating process. -
@sean
i power on RPI with raspbian then open from upper taskbar terminal and wrote node auth_and_test.js
how to wrote it directly ?? -
@kivlow
What kind of RPI do you use? As you said “taskbar”, Is it RPI 2 or 3 with Jessie or Stretch Desktop, right?
And, Have RPI had any browser (Chromium or Midori?)?I’ll change some code for the case of not opening browser automatically, Please wait a while.

I use raspberry pi 3b with raspbian borwser chromium.
cool i wait :] p.s. express response -
@kivlow
I’ve fixed.cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos git pull node auth_and_test.js
You can see like this image;
When the browser is not be opened automatically, copy the url and paste it into your browser manually.

Hi Sean,
Firstly thank you for this, it has great potential and is something that has been missing for such a long time compared to the alternative dakboard that I was forced to use to get photos displayed.
I have an issue though, I believe I have been through the steps correctly but can not get it to work. When I reboot my RPI2 it looks like the ‘auth_and_test.js’ is ran and this brings up the browser with googlin login and if I follow this through it gives me the code which is the same experience I have when running ‘auth_and_test.js’ in order to get the album id.
This then repeats itself every 5mins or so…
I have added the album id in the config.js but it does not seem to matter if I put a correct or incorrect one in here the same happens. It does not look like it trys to put images on the desktop so I don’t think the module is getting that far.
Any idea what I have done wrong?
Thanks
Nathan
