6. **Paste URL Back to Pi:** Go back to the Raspberry Pi console where the display script is running. It should now be prompting you to "Enter the URL you were redirected to:". **Paste the full URL you just copied** from your browser into the console and press Enter.
The application will then use the provided code to get the necessary tokens and cache them (usually in a `.cache` file). Subsequent runs should not require this process unless the token expires.
### Music Display (YouTube Music)
The system can display currently playing music information from YouTube Music Desktop (YTMD) via its Companion server API.
**Setup:**
1. **Enable Companion Server in YTMD:**
* In the YouTube Music Desktop application, go to `Settings` -> `Integrations`.
* Enable the "Companion Server" (it might also be labeled as "JSON RPC" or similar).
* Note the IP address and Port it's listening on (default is usually `http://localhost:9863`).
2. **Configure `config/config.json`:**
* Update the `music` section in your `config/config.json`:
```json
"music": {
"enabled": true,
"preferred_source": "ytm",
"YTM_COMPANION_URL": "http://YOUR_YTMD_IP_ADDRESS:PORT", // e.g., "http://localhost:9863" or "http://192.168.1.100:9863"
"POLLING_INTERVAL_SECONDS": 2
}
```
3. **Initial Authentication & Token Storage:**
* The first time you run `display_controller.py` after enabling YTM, it will attempt to register itself with the YTMD Companion Server.
* You will see log messages in the terminal prompting you to **approve the "LEDMatrixController" application within the YouTube Music Desktop app.** You typically have 30 seconds to do this.
* Once approved, an authentication token is saved to your `config/config.json`.
4. **File Permissions for Token Saving (Important if running as a specific user e.g., `ledpi`):**
* If the script (e.g., `display_controller.py` or the systemd service) runs as a user like `ledpi`, that user needs permission to write the authentication token to `config/config.json`.
* Execute the following commands, replacing `ledpi` if you use a different user:
```bash
sudo chown ledpi:ledpi /home/ledpi/LEDMatrix/config /home/ledpi/LEDMatrix/config/config.json
sudo chmod 664 /home/ledpi/LEDMatrix/config/config.json
sudo chmod 775 /home/ledpi/LEDMatrix/config
```
* This ensures the `ledpi` user owns the config directory and file, and has the necessary write permissions.
**Troubleshooting:**
* "No authorized companions" in YTMD: Ensure you've approved the `LEDMatrixController` in YTMD settings after the first run.
* Connection errors: Double-check the `YTM_COMPANION_URL` in `config.json` matches what YTMD's companion server is set to.
* Permission denied saving token: Ensure you've run the `chown` and `chmod` commands above.
