Client only retrieves certain images

[bdaneshgar]

Client will display pages calendar, artwork, wittgenstein, and city, but fails to show content and displays a settings_response for commute and everyone. Any idea how this could be happening? The server is creating the image just fine.

What does the serial console output of the client look like when this issue happens? Are you using your own server or accent.ink?

[bdaneshgar]

I am using my own server. Here is the terminal from the client:

_PowerOn : 134997
Busy Timeout!
_Update_Full : 20001053
_PowerOff : 157000

[maxbbraun]

Do you see any error logs on the server? This client log looks fine, but it also only shows the request and response for /next and not for /epd, which should be just before it. If both are status 200, then I'd expect the error to be server-side.

I'm getting the following. I'm using a waveshare 7.5", 800x480 display:

The first error message explains what's going on:

Failed to create Schedule content: Requested a 800x480 map but got 640x480. Try this: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/start#Largerimagesizes

You can follow the link for more info and ways to fix it.

Unfortunately, I got this response from Google Cloud Support:

Hi,Unfortunately your request has been rejected by the engineering team since it is for personal use and low usage , please use the default maximum imagery size. if your usage increases you can try to apply again later.

Additionally, epd.py has default display sizes set to 640x384. I am having trouble finding out how the larger sizes are being requested in the first place.

i will try to dig deeper and report back. In the meantime, if you are able to figure out how to lower the size of the request (or give me guidance as to how many requests I would need to satisfy Google), I would appreciate the help.

Additionally, epd.py has default display sizes set to 640x384. I am having trouble finding out how the larger sizes are being requested in the first place.

The default values for the display size (and variant) are only used when the request doesn't specify any size. See here. This is mainly a fallback for compatibility with older clients. So in your case, the client is requesting an 800x480 image. If your display is 640x384 instead, you should change the client configuration here.
