Can't get usable token #396

Closed Iceman248 closed 2 years ago

Iceman248 commented 2 years ago

I installed this app on Windows through Python just to generate a token file, then tried to copy that token and eventually the entire folder, but neither way worked. I just get this error. I had read that someone used Python to generate, thought token was for account so therefore it would work, but apparently not. How can I get this going on unRAID? Before, it would just end up at some locahost server in the browser, but I never saw a token generated, so that is why I tried it through Windows.

Regenerating token worked. Hopefully it doesn't have to be done every few hours.

It does have to be done every few hours or so. I don't recall reading anything about that. Is that actually how this works?

I read https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync/issues/290 and mine already was published, but it still expired very soon.

You should never need to regenerate the token, it should be automatically refreshed as needed.

Are you getting the same error above now or do you get 'token expired'?

Iceman248 commented 2 years ago

Well, it just worked this time. Strange. It did appear to regenerate, as the token date is from when I just tried to run it.

I'll monitor and see if it stops working again.
