1 year ago To use Google Photos you need to activate the project, get credentials, etc. Please refer to documentation.
After the activation you'll get token.pickle and credentials.json files, you need to copy these files to ePiframe device inside installation path and specify cred_file and pickle_file cofiguration properties to point to the credentials.

1 year ago You replace it with the name of the JSON file from Google Cloud platform that was generated during activation. It's credentials.json name by default but it can have any other custom name. But then you need to make sure that this name is exact with the configuration property cred_file value.
So for example your file is: google_credentials_001.json and cred_file=google_credentials_001.json
I don't know if I get your question right but there's no ePiframe default file for Google Photos credentials (credentials.json). You need to generate one yourself, to your Google account + credentials (may be an account created especially for frame), to allow ePiframe connect to it and get the photos. Activation script is the easiest way to get it.

So for example your file is: google_credentials_001.json and cred_file=google_credentials_001.json
I don't know if I get your question right but there's no ePiframe default file for Google Photos credentials (credentials.json). You need to generate one yourself, to your Google account + credentials (may be an account created especially for frame), to allow ePiframe connect to it and get the photos. Activation script https://github.com/MikeGawi/ePiframe/blob/master/INSTALL.md#google-photos is the easiest way to get it.

1 year ago how do you get it to run on restart.
There is something called ePiframe service, the installer should automatically set it up but you can do it yoursefl:
sed 's/EPIEPIEPI/'$(pwd | sed 's_/_\\/_g')'\//g' misc/ePiframe.service.org > ePiframe.servicesudo systemctl enable `pwd`/ePiframe.serviceAfter that ePiframe should start automatically with system and should recover after error - it will always work until switched off, i.e.
sudo systemctl stop ePiframe.serviceit will run again after reboot or sudo systemctl start ePiframe.service to run it manually
sudo systemctl disable ePiframe.serviceTo get more information about service control refer to documentation.

1 year ago Hello sir, I have another question. I have to say that I have enjoyed your epiframe immensely. But I do have a question that I feel you would know how to solve. I did another epiframe in 7color. works perfectly except the colors were really vibrant but now are very washed out. Does it have to do with the refresh time? Would a longer refresh time work? again thank you

enable service

pwd/ePiframe.serviceAfter that ePiframe should start automatically with system and should recover after error - it will always work until switched off, i.e.
temporary stop service
sudo systemctl stop ePiframe.service
it will run again after reboot or sudo systemctl start ePiframe.service to run it manually
permanently disable service
sudo systemctl disable ePiframe.service

1 year ago I had the very same issue with my 7 color Waveshare display and I reported that to support to get a solution. It was the problem with their code and was fixed in the latest Waveshare pull request.
You can update ePiframe Waveshare libraries with the script or just do it faster manually:
cd <path>
rm -r lib/waveshare_epd/
wget -q https://github.com/waveshare/e-Paper/archive/master.zip -O waveshare.zip
unzip -q waveshare.zip
cp -r e-Paper-master/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python/lib .
rm -r e-Paper-master/ waveshare.zip
sudo chown -R pi ..After refreshing the libraries clear the display by setting clear_display flag to 1 in the config.cfg file for one frame refresh and then set it back to 0 as it is not necessarry and takes a lot of time during frame update.
I have to say that I have enjoyed your epiframe immensely
It's great to hear that! Thanks!

1 year ago Closed due to inactivity. Please open new issue if support is still needed.
I wanted to do a fresh install of this just to understand it better and to see if I could do it again. NOPE!! grr.. lol.. I am now getting this error:
