@sdetweil Hi Sam,

I am unclear where to put or do with the following code:

f running pm2 to auto launch, then
pm2 logs --lines=xxx
xxx is a number, try 50 but
you may need more, say 100

or

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

I am also getting the following error message “Can’t find “MasterJH,” in your album list.” see text from terminal after launching Magic Mirror. The odd thing is it is showing 2 images from the MasterJH folder.

@sdetweil Hi Sam GP Config file I am using below.

{
				module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
				position: "fullscreen_below",
				
				config: {
				albums: ["MasterJH,"], // Set your album name. like ["My wedding", "family share", "Travle to Paris"]
				updateInterval: 10 * 800, // minimum 10 seconds.
				sort: "new", // "old", "random"
				uploadAlbum: null, // Only album created by `create_uploadable_album.js`.
				condition: {
				fromDate: null, // Or "2018-03", RFC ... format available
				toDate: null, // Or "2019-12-25",
				minWidth: 1366, // Or 400
				maxWidth: 1366, // Or 8000
				minHeight: 768, // Or 400
				maxHeight: 768, // Or 8000
				minWHRatio: null,
				maxWHRatio: null,
				// WHRatio = Width/Height ratio ( ==1 : Squared Photo,   < 1 : Portraited Photo, > 1 : Landscaped Photo)
				},
				showWidth: 800, // These values will be used for quality of downloaded photos to show. real size to show in your MagicMirror region is recommended.
				showHeight: 1200,
				timeFormat: "YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm", // Or `relative` can be used.
  }
},
		

@sdetweil Sorry Sam should have mentioned it in the last post. I set the maxWidth and maxHeight to the mointor size which is a TV e.g. 1366px x 768px. I also changed the postion of the moduler to Fullscreen_below and re booted. I do not know if this helped but reduced my images size to less than 1366px x 768px. Does not look exactly as I originally envisaged but looks good enough. I did not chane the CSS file settings as this is beyond my knowledge but afeter looking athe CSS settings realised by changing them you can get it to look exactly how you want it. Cheers, John

Just when you think you have cracked it then there is another hurdle. I have recently got my MagicMirror up amd running and addedsome more photos to my Google Photos folder (original No. of photos was two to test it) but the added photos are not syncing with MagicMirror. I have rebooted and shut down the Raspberry Pi but then when I re start the Raspberry Pi the photos are still not syncing with MagicMirror. Does anybody know how to resolve this issue.

@sdetweil Hi Sam I now have a MagicMirror that works and would not have been possibe without your support and help which I would like to thank you for.

@sdetweil

Apologies for my lack of knowledge. I have commented out sizes vales using // but did not resolve the situation. I am using Geany text editor to amend the config file but but do not see a button that looks like </>. The only CSS file I can find looks like this:

I have managed to set up Google Photos on my MagicMirror but I am having difficulty positioning the photos below the three items located on the top bar e.g Clock, Google Calendar and Weather. My preference would be to have the photos in the middle of the MagicMirror

You can see below the code in the Config file I am using and I have also include a image of how the MagicMirror crrently looks. I am thinking it may have something to do with image sized in the Google Album.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers,
John

@sdetweil You have made an old man very happy and thank you. Added a comma after the last curly bracket and it now works.
