Calendar shows incorrect time for a single changed event in a series

[Hinge]

Hi,

we use a Google calendar for the MM². My wife and I use this calendar on our cell phones and on the standard calendar at MM².
I changed a single event in a series from 4:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. My wife sees it correctly. It appears correctly online on Google. But the MM² made it 5 p.m.
The series of appointments was created in summer, when summer time was in force in Germany. All other dates in the series are displayed correctly (4:30 p.m.) regardless of summer or winter time. The appointments on Google have Berlin stored as the time zone.

Is there something I need to change in the config or is this a previously unknown problem?

THX a lot!!!

@Hinge oh the joy. the library that processes recurring events and moved, has a bug. it’s not ours. I have spent months looking for a fix, none yet.

@sdetweil Just out of curiosity: Is the library moment.js?

[sdetweil]

@KristjanESPERANTO no, rrule

it expects only local date/times
node-ical converts all to utc based times…

so we get some events that have todays date with tomorrows UTC time… Nov 6 -01:30 UTC -8

for LosAngeles that makes the event date yesterday… Nov 5- 17:30… oops…

but we in MM don’t ever look at the text in the ICS, so we have NO way of knowing of the mishmash date/time… and it seems to happen MOST with ByDay (only on thrusday or friday) …

AND EVEN if we DID look at the ICS, we wouldn’t see this, as its a recurring date event, calculated by RRULE. from start and the rules… so unless WE recode RRULE, we would never ever know

@Hinge @KristjanESPERANTO node-ical has just release a new version (0.17.0) which removes the luxon library which causes all the localdate/time issues…

want to give it a try ? do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install node-ical@latest

then start mm as usual

Thanks

@sdetweil Thanks!
This worked in my first tests. Is this now the official version? or still in work?

[sdetweil]

@gelaw this is the version from prior release…

we’ll see what happens by April 1.(next mm release)
