I am currently using this module to display one album that has 5 photos in it. I have it set to change the photo every 15 seconds. For some reason once it gets to the 5th photo, it only displays for barely 1 second and then starts from the beginning again. Any suggestions on how to fix this so that the last photo will display as long as the others?

@celliott I don’t know for sure but there is debugging info available

edit the node_helper.js

and add

       debug:true,

between these two lines

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
  start: function()

then stop mm, pm2 stop all if using pm2

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt

wait til u see the error
then ctrl-c on the mm terminal window
(alt-spacebar, n to.minimize mm screen if you didn’t use ssh)

For those just joining, I was able to get this to work using the Google OAuth desktop option and the V2 token generator that hermanho made at the link below

@orayoflighto awesome thanks guys but some of us are really dumb and I can’t figure this out. No new get token no matter how hard I try and I don’t know how to do it on my local pc… If I copy the file over I get the following ![alt text](image url)

@megagprime to get a pull request

in the existing module folder do

git fetch origin pull/#/head:local_branch_name

replace # w 146
and pick a name for branch name

the when that completes (no message)
do
git checkout whatever name u used

now your photos module is using the pull request version

then the normal instructions should work

edit : shows what u get for not checking and trusting some ‘now old’ post on the internet!

I have just installed MagicMirror on my RaspberryPi and are now playing around trying to tweak my screen to my needs. Just now I want to show a slideshow of one of my albums in the top region of the screen. I have my screen vertically.
So the photo should show cover the whole top region from edge to edge, and maybe 1/3 down from the top edge. Trying to use the top_bar position, but the photos then are shown with a padding on the left side and in the top, and are not resized to fit inside the region. Anybody that can show how this can be done? Maybe in the css file?

@Lilleberg Try using the upper_third position for your pictures. That may be closer to what you want.
