Thanks for the quick response. I ended up wiping and reinstalling the 64 bit version so I lost the log. I will try and get that version to work.

@sdetweil

Sorry to reply to an old thread, but I am getting this same error message when installing on a Pi5 32 bit.

I tried the 64 bit version and that resulted in a black screen after a period of runtime with the default configs which is a separate issue.

Can I install a package separate from the script to get around this issue?

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

I just updated to the latest And my photos stopped displaying. Anyone else have this issue?

I just get Loading…

I am having trouble with the excludedEvents parameter in the calendar module. I can get some words to filter but not others. For instance I if I have the following two events on the calendar:

School Early Dismissal
Roger’s Special - Art

If I enter ‘Early’ in the excludedEvents array then as expected the School Early Dismissal goes away. If I enter ‘Roger’ or ‘Art’ or ‘Special’ then I can’t get the second event to filter out.

I have 3 calendars. I tried eliminating all but the one that pulls the “Roger’s Special - Art” event and still no luck. I am starting to think that there is something about that calendar ics that prevents events from being filtered? Is this possible?

		module: "calendar",
			header: "Calendar",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				maxTitleLength: "30",
				timeFormat: "absolute",
				nextDaysRelative: true,
				titleReplace: {'SPECIAL MEETING':'meeting'},
				displaySymbol: false,
				//maximumNumberOfDays: "62",
				fade: false,
				excludedEvents: ['Special'],
				calendars: [
					{
						
						// symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
						url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics",
						maxTitleLength: "17"
					},

@Sean looking forward to it. Thanks again for an awesome module.

@sdetweil I now have a cron job to turn the monitor off. Is that what you mean by “sleep”? Does that stop the API requests?

First, thanks for a great module. Its greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to prevent API requests during certain time periods? I have 14000 photos in an album that is only going to grow with time which is going to kill my API requests but I don’t need requests to take place at 2AM for instance.

Mine is also hosting PiHole and also doing a cron job every hour to test ISP download speeds

I don’t have any processor intensive modules installed.

@slametps

The maximumEntries setting now applies to each calendar rather than globally. So if you have 5 calendar URLs then you get 50 listings (if the default is set to 10). Before the change it would show the most recent 10 events from all of your calendars.

You didn’t miss it. It is a change with the most recent update.

@kvicksson

Did you put maximumEntries after each URL call like below?

url: ‘https://google.com/public/basic.ics’,
maximumEntries: ‘10’,

@onetwankyfive

Adding the config option after each calendar worked for me. Thanks for the help!

@JoeFranz said in Since the update calendar too wide:

maxTitleLength

I am having the same problem. I updated recently and maxTitleLength no longer is working.

Usually a black screen means that you have an error in your configuration file. Make a backup and remove as many lines as you can. Make sure you have the right GPIO pin. That can be confusing because it is different than the actual PIN number. Make sure you are also looking at a GPIO readout for a Pi 3 as the GPIOs are a little different depending on what version of the Pi you have.

Have you seen this?

Different strips have different ways they need to be programmed. Some have faster refresh rates than others.

Most people will suggest ADA102 for beginners. The strips I linked to are LPD8806. As I mentioned previously the only reason I bought those ones is that MMM-PiLights was programmed to use them.

@cowboysdude

I used these only because they were incredibly cheap and I originally started out looking at MMM-PiLights which uses the same LPD8806 type:
