pro-tip:
A way to check and see if you’re actually subscribing to the topics that are publishing search results:
if you run the following command from a remote putty session…
cd ~/MagicMirror
Display=:0 npm start
you should eventually see that you’re subscribing to the topics!
Initially, the misconfigured security policy was preventing this from happening and authorization errors were being thrown in the background (had to dig into cloudwatch logs for this). In putty, the command would simply hang at “Attempt to connect to AWS”
Basically your youtube api search results will be published to the “new-video” queue…and if your aren’t subscribed to that queue then you wont see anything change on your monitor. Same for your google image searches and “new-images”. and so on.
