@sdetweil Thanks for the info. Do you think there is fix coming on next release, for this issue?

sdetweil · Dec 13, 2023, 3:28 AM

@jbat66 I think so, you can test it out

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install node-ical@0.17.0

and restart MagicMirror

npm install node-ical@0.17.0

I tried it, but it made no difference. :-(

@jbat66 hm… i’ll test it tomorrow morning

sdetweil · Dec 13, 2023, 3:22 PM

@jbat66 do this

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm remove luxon

then rerun the tests… I have them both in the same ics

Before removing luxon, I got the local ics working, but because it was for Tuesday and today is Wednesday it worked, any reoccuring in the future work, just today’s does not. So I added two entries in the local ics file for Wednesday as well as left in the Tuesday entries.

I also made a new google calendar and made Wednesday repeating as well. Both the local test and the google test do not show up anything after 5pm mst. I did the removal and there was no change. I did restart MM between the test. Here is the updated ICS

@jbat66 I’ll look at that but the original events are for Tuesday, so can’t show today (Wednesday)

jbat66 · Dec 13, 2023, 7:29 PM

@sdetweil I appreciate you looking into this.
There should be a “Local test wed Weekly at 5:15pm” for today that doesn’t show up, and a “Google test weekly on Wed at 5:30pm” that doesn’t show up.

sdetweil · Dec 13, 2023, 7:39 PM

@jbat66 ok, for the test file the UUID values have to be unique

UID:ccccccc

jbat66 · Dec 13, 2023, 7:49 PM

@sdetweil
Thanks for the UID info. I have not manualy edited an ICS file before and didn’t know that.
I updated the UID: to unique values, same results tho. Still missing the google and local after 5pm events.
