### YouTube Display Configuration
|
||||||
|

The YouTube display module shows channel statistics for a specified YouTube channel. To configure it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. In `config/config.json`, add the following section:
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"youtube": {
|
||||||
|
"enabled": true,
|
||||||
|
"update_interval": 300 // Update interval in seconds (default: 300)
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. In `config/config_secrets.json`, add your YouTube API credentials:
|
||||||

"channel_id": "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID"
|
||||||
|
}
|

```
|
||||||
|
|

To get these credentials:
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
2. Create a new project or select an existing one
|
||||||

### Calendar Display Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The calendar display module shows upcoming events from your Google Calendar. To configure it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. In `config/config.json`, add the following section:
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"calendar": {
|
||||||
|
"enabled": true,
|
||||||
|
"update_interval": 300, // Update interval in seconds (default: 300)
|
||||||
|
"max_events": 3, // Maximum number of events to display
|
||||||
|
"calendars": ["primary"] // List of calendar IDs to display
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

||||||
|
- Download the credentials file as `credentials.json`
|
||||||
|
5. Place the `credentials.json` file in your project root directory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. On first run, the application will:
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
- Up to 3 upcoming events (configurable)
