Hi everyone. Good day to you!

I have gotten my Magic Mirror more or less running, with various pages, including Google Calendar. I have installed some of bugsounet’s great modules, including Google Assistant and I have gotten Jarvis responding.

My question is this: When I am viewing my Google Calendar for the present month, is there any way to tell Jarvis to display the next month of my calendar (i.e. page forward and back to either a previous or future month). If not, Google Calendar is not going to be useful if I’m on the last day of a month and I can’t see the next month.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@sdetweil I have been trying to follow HootieStyleChannel’s videos and using bugsounet excellent modules to install Jarvis voice control and I got Jarvis to work. However, when I installed the bugsounet modules (and at some point I updated to bookworm), Jarvis stopped working. In talking with him, he said that maybe it was bookworm that was conflicting with his modules and sort of said that he couldn’t do much.

so now I don’t what to do - do I wait until he fixes his modules? or do I try to go back to bullseye (which I don’t even know would work).

I don’t want to blame him - he has done a pile of work on his EXT- modules, they’re really good and very sophisticated .

I just wanted to check if anyone was having a conflict between bookworm and any MMM modules.

Thanks.

I am having trouble with various modules that appear to no longer work since I updated to bookworm from bullseye. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi. I’m having a real hard time installing hermanho/MMM-GooglePhotos (https://github.com/hermanho/MMM-GooglePhotos#readme).
I don’t know if Google has changed their procedure, but afer I get past step 7, nothing works, nothing on Google’s site resembles anything in the Readme instructions.
I can’t believe I am the only one with this problem. Did Google just change the procedure for getting the token.json and credentials.json files or did I just totally just screw up somewhere?

Any help would be much appreciated! :) I am a total NOOB in Linux but I’m old enough to remember the old DOS command line! (DIR /p, etc). I did a lot of searching on the Magic Mirror Forum but could not find anyone with my problem.

My setup: Raspberry Pi 4 model b, 4GB ram. I just recently installed the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS (32 bit) and Magic Mirror is up and running.
I commented out all the modules accept for the Clock (the modified Magic Mirror runs fine), and I would like to install GooglePhotos.

Needed: 2 files: token.json and credentials.json

The following is an excerpt of the procedure list for MMM-GooglePhotos as listed from the above mentioned website, with my comments added.
Items marked with [^] worked correctly
Items marked with [?] could not find
Items marked with [*] did not work
@My comments@ are my comments about problems.

Procedure as listed on the above website (starting with step 2): (I had already logged in to my Google account)
2)[^] Go to Google API Console
3)[^] From the menu bar, select a project or create a new project. @I created a project WilkinsMagicMirror@
4)[^] To open the Google API Library, from the Navigation menu, select APIs & Services > Library.
[?]Don’t forget to enble the Google API Services.
5)[^] Search for “Google Photos Library API”. Select the correct result and click Enable.
[?] (You may need to enable “Google Plus” also.)
6)[^] Then, from the menu, select APIs & Services > Credentials.
7)[^] On the Credentials page, click Create Credentials > OAuth client ID.

@Here’s where it all goes wonky. Step 8 doesn’t work and so the rest is total junk. Google says to click on Configure Consent Screen. When I do, it shows a screen with a choice for Type of either Internal or External (no mention of which in the Readme instructions). I would probably guess that I should choose Internal, but when I try to activate Internal, Google gives me an error message: “Because you’re not a Google Workspace user, you can only make your app available to external (general audience) users”. And so, this is where everything comes to screeching halt@

@Is there a more up-to-date procedure list somewhere, or did I fall in the ditch trying to follow the procedure?@

8)[?] Select your Application type as Desktop app(IMPORTANT!!!) and submit. (Before or After that, you might be asked for making consent screen. do that.)
9) Then, you can download your credential json file from list. Downloaded file name would be client_secret_xxxx…xxx.json. rename it as credentials.json and save it to your MMM-GooglePhotos directory.
10) Now, open your termial
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos
node generate_token_v2.js
11) At first execution, It will open a browser and will ask you to login google account and to consent your allowance.
12) Authorize it and close the browser
13) Copy the file token.json and credentials.json to the folder MMM-GooglePhotos in the remote device

• “specify that this is an Installed application, then select Android, Chrome app, iOS, Universal Windows Platform (UWP), or Desktop app as the application type.” (This resembles step eight) but how do I get there?

When on the Credentilas page, I clicked on “+Create Credentials” and then “API Key” and Google created an API key, but I still have to pass to the Configure Consent Screen
