You are using and old version of the plugin. Please update it and try again.

It's the same in version 1.3. I don't see how this ever could have worked for photos, as you're trying to call a Drive endpoint:

def new_change_token_slideshow(self, change_token, driveid, item_driveid=None, item_id=None, path=None):
        self._provider.configure(self._account_manager, driveid)
        if not change_token:
            response = self._provider.get('/changes/startPageToken', parameters = self._provider._parameters)
            self._change_token = Utils.get_safe_value(response, 'startPageToken')
            change_token = 1
        else:

Your debug log file shows you are using 1.2.12: 2019-10-01 20:51:04.089 T:1430201056 NOTICE: ADDON: plugin.googledrive v1.2.12 installed

And yea, now that you mention it, auto-refreshed slideshow is not implemented for google photos album. It works only for photos stored in your drive.

I'll mark this as a possible enhancement.

Letting the the google slideshow automatically update itself would be a HUGE benefit to the way we have implemented your plugin. Maybe this has been implemented already but I am hoping that I can just update my google folders with various .jpgs and it will auto update my live slideshows.

We are using raspberry Pi's to hook up to individual monitors in our gaming center and this would allow me to change the pictures on the fly without having to update each monitor individually. Really appreciate you work!

That's the idea with the auto-refreshed slideshow, but works only with folders inside of your drive, not in Google Photos albums.
