Not able to run gphotos-sync

[Koramchad]

I tried to run gphotos sync one more time on my Qnap to continue making progress on downloading more photos. I got an error on my Qnap, so I tried to get a new .gphotos.token from my Mac to see if that would fix it, but I'm also getting errors on that process.

This is from my Mac:

I get tho the login on the browser and I get a successfull message, but the terminal gives me the error above.

This is the error I got on my Qnap when I tried to run gphotos-sync after it worked last time:

I did some research on previous issues and found that there was some kind of issue with the port being used. If I try to launch it with a random port, I do get the prompt to login on a browser (which I can't do since it's a server with no browser access).

What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Google's old OOB authentication flow has been deprecated so you need to get a new client secret.

In addition the flow is local only so you need to do it on a machine with a browser first and then transfer the .gphotos.token to your QNAP.

Take a look at https://gilesknap.github.io/gphotos-sync/main/tutorials/installation.html#initial-setup and see if that helps.
