• RE: [ERROR] unable to write js/positions.js

  Although it’s not related to your problem - I have a lot of trouble getting MM to run on the 512MB Pi3 A+.

  It freezes often - possibly it’s bad h/w or sd card although it all tests fine - but after several days of running and it ends up frozen and inaccessible. (ie can’t ssh to it, etc unless I restart it)

  I tried using some of the lower memory options instead of using electron without much success. It runs for a little longer but eventually still dies. None of my Pi3 B models with the 4GB RAM have had similar problems - so I tend to think it is something related to RAM

  Just to say that you may find the experience in running on the Pi 3 A+ to be “complicated”

• RE: How to modify my MMM-CalendarExt3?

  Then use Ext3Agenda in the normal way vertical way.

  In any event, it sounds like you don’t want the month view - and Ext3 does have just a week view - so maybe it’s as simple as just using week view for you.

  Ext3Agenda supports calendars in the same way AFAIK as Ext3 - so I would expect if Ext3 works then Ext3Agenda also works

• RE: How to modify my MMM-CalendarExt3?

  I would try using Ext3Agenda version in horizontal layout - it is by the same author and it sounds like the Horizontal layout might be what you want

• RE: MMM-CalendarExt3 only one calendar not updating

  Something even stranger - if I immediately refresh the page it also works. Here I mean is:

  npm run server
  got to browser and bring up host:8080
  calendar will say “Loading” for a very long time
  (despite the events getting broadcast)

  But if I :
  npm run server
  go to browser and bring up host:8080
  calender says “Loading”
  Refresh the page immediately
  calendar says “Loading”
  calendar will immediately show the events as soon as the events are broadcast

• RE: MMM-CalendarExt3 only one calendar not updating

  I added various log outputs to node_helper.js and calendar.js

  node_helper is sending the socket notification for CALENDAR_EVENTS
  this is not received by the front end code in calendar.js

  I don’t know what happens to it, but I added logging to print out in calendar.js whenever the socketNotificationReceived handler is called and it doesn’t print.

  (unless I refresh the page - at which point it does)

  @sdetweil You mean fetchInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000?

  the calendar module doesn’t have refreshinterval does it?

• RE: MMM-CalendarExt3 only one calendar not updating

  @sdetweil No errors in the console log

  If I wait long enough where this seems anywhere between 15min to an hour or more, they do appear without a manual refresh.

  maybe it’s a complexity issue - when I curl the calender link (it’s a google private ICS link) - the resulting file is 4.8MB - I imagine parsing that is somewhat time-consuming

• RE: MMM-CalendarExt3 only one calendar not updating

  @sdetweil No, I’m stopped testing Ext3 and I am only testing the default calendar.

  it is not working - I see Loading... for some number of minutes or hours, I haven’t determined any consistency. This test run is now past 45 mins and it still says Loading… despite having broadcast the events 9 times:

• RE: MMM-CalendarExt3 only one calendar not updating

  I did yes - so the current test results are this

  The calendar did eventually appear - but it took quite some time - I wasn’t watching, so I don’t know when exactly - I’ll test again. But it was several minutes after the log output of “broadcasting 22 events”
