cred_file configuration entry path does not exist! about epiframe

[MikeGawi]

There's a config.cfg file property cred_file that points to credentials.json by default. Make sure that the value and credentials filename are right.

what does that mean? I just reinstalled it and ran the check command and its the same outcome

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.

So I guess my next dumb question is, do I replace it with another json file? or are the specific to one program?

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.

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:

• Install ePiframe service
  • replace paths

    sed 's/EPIEPIEPI/'$(pwd | sed 's_/_\\/_g')'\//g' misc/ePiframe.service.org > ePiframe.service
    

  • enable service

    sudo systemctl enable `pwd`/ePiframe.service
    

After 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
  

To get more information about service control refer to documentation.

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

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!

Perfect!!! Thank you so much for your help.
