      @matt216 can u try updating modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js like this
      replace lines 58-84 with this . also added this to the issue

      		try {  /// new code here     // this will be the new line 58 
      
      		fetch(url, { headers: headers, agent: httpsAgent })
      			.then(NodeHelper.checkFetchStatus)
      			.then((response) => response.text())
      			.then((responseData) => {
      				let data = [];
      
      				try {
      					data = ical.parseICS(responseData);
      					Log.debug(`parsed data=${JSON.stringify(data)}`);
      					events = CalendarFetcherUtils.filterEvents(data, {
      						excludedEvents,
      						includePastEvents,
      						maximumEntries,
      						maximumNumberOfDays
      					});
      				} catch (error) {
      					fetchFailedCallback(this, error);
      					scheduleTimer();
      					return;
      				}
      				this.broadcastEvents();
      				scheduleTimer();
      			})
      			.catch((error) => {
      				fetchFailedCallback(this, error);
      				scheduleTimer();
      			});
      		}    // new code here =========
      		catch(error){
                           console.error( "fetch for calendar url" +url + "failed error="+error.code);
                          fetchFailedCallback(this, error);
                          scheduleTimer();
      		}   // end new code =====

        @sdetweil Doesn’t like that - mirror won’t load. Got to pick up my little boy now, so reverted back (mirror loads ok again). Will try again and look at logs.

            @sdetweil can you tell I’m not a developer…?!

            Ok, I’ve replaced the whole block, then pm2 stop all, cd ~/MagicMirror, npm start…

            Mirror starts but still no new calendar events are showing where I would expect to be. Interestingly I can see that edits to existing events that I’ve made are showing up on the mirror, so there is some communication. Just no new events are being picked up.

            Thanks again,
            Matt

              By existing and new events I mean with reference to the point I added the calendar server to the calendar module. That first initial sync (if that’s the right word) of the .ics file.

                @matt216 and what do you see in the place where you npm start?

                should NOT see the timeout error

                  @sdetweil I do not see a timeout, no. The most unusual log entry related to the calendar is
                  [04.01.2024 16:39.21.257] [LOG] Use existing calendarfetcher for url: https://my.cal.url

                  That “existing” might imply something…?

                    @matt216 not an error… says ’ we created a fecther() at the start’… and we found it and are reusing it… just informational

                    now… lets turn on more debug

                    in the config.js

                    change

                        logLevel: [
                          "INFO",
                          "LOG",
                          "WARN",
                          "ERROR",
                       //   "DEBUG"
                        ],
                    

                    loglevel like that (just hit enter after the commas and before the ]

                    then add the // debug line
                    then remove the leading //

                    just makes it easier later to turn off debug by adding the // (comment it out)

                    then in MagicMirror folder again do

                    npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1
                    
                    wait til you think it should have updated...
                    
                    then ctrl-q
                    
                    and then look at the somefile.txt or send it to me
                    same user id at gmail 
                    
                    (I added most of the debug output to work on calendar problems) 
                    
                    then u can comment out "DEBUG" again
                    
                    we did change the calendar parser version this release, to fix a couple bugs I added code for, and a big change on the repeating rule handler...

                      @sdetweil yikes, 14000 lines of calendar entries included in this one!
                      Any steer on what I’m looking for? Loads of personal info, so I won’t send over if that’s ok (no offence)

                        @matt216 well … just let you know… I don’t LOOK at any of that info… only the cal entry dates and processing… I only match by title… and I NEVER share…
                        (we just added the cal url to output as some were confused about which calendar was sending what entries… more debug info )

                        start of the content

                        [04.01.2024 11:14.45.590] [DEBUG] There are 5 calendar entries.
                        [04.01.2024 11:14.45.591] [DEBUG] Processing entry...
                        [04.01.2024 11:14.45.594] [DEBUG] Event:
                        

                        then thru the next Event: is all one event, with its recurring events if any

                        I’m interested in the events that you says don’t show up…

                        one thing you can do is use the configured url to get the ics file
                        to make sure the calendar provider is providing the entry

                        if its in the ics , but not in the output, then this is a new parser problem… and I want to see the ics entry to test. all can be sent thru mail or private chat (altho chat posts are limited in size)

                        curl -sL thaturl >someicsfile.txt
                        

                        ics file is just text
                        can u find that entry
                        can u find it in the debug output
