      Don’t know what to tell you, mine’s working just fine with the webcal address. Have you tried stripping everything and just putting that in, nothing else?

      A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

        Shear curiosity, can you check the console logs, or simply run 'pm2 logs <YOUR_MM_PROCESS>' and see if there are any helpful messages about the calendar there, specifically the one that’s failing …

          Nothing that looks wrong…
          Logs here: http://pastebin.com/3572PdeE

          The Keys and IDs are exactly the same between my Birthday and Upcoming Events URLs…The Calendar only outputs the Upcoming Events, gahhh

          Here is full config I’m using: http://pastebin.com/hDjMmTfa

              I’ve been playing around with some stuff trying to figure this out and I noticed something…

              Is it possible that my Upcoming Events Calendar is overwriting the Birthday Calendar?? When I download the ICS file from Facebook, both the Birthday and Upcoming Events ICS files have the same name! Named this: “u” + USERID + “.ics”

              Possible that the MagicMirror is pulling down the ICS files, but overwriting each other because of same name?

                I ran my Facebook Birhtday ICS file through this site: http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/
                Got this response: http://imgur.com/YW07yKU

                Is this normal?

                  Both my Facebook calendar links are different. Birthdays contains a b.php and events is u.php. Tried birthdays by itself and still didn’t work.

                    For those of you who are having issues with your Facebook Birthdays calendar … if any of you want to PRIVATELY send me your actual link, I will stick it in my config and see what happens. Presumably it will fail the same way it is for you guys, but at least I’ll have something to test against since mine are working just fine. I don’t have a failed test case … I promise not to sell your information.

                      I think we sold our information the moment we signed up to Facebook. Happy to send you the link and see what happens.

                        I have Robby’s at the moment, trying to recreate the problem.
