      @sdetweil Trying this.
      Steps:

      1. add new test event scheduled tomorrow
      2. verify event on another device, proving calendar server sync
      3. curl .ics file from server, find test event
      4. set calendar module as described in your post above

      Result:
      calendar loads successfully, but still does not show new event.

      Event as shown in ics file:

      BEGIN:VEVENT
      CREATED:20240109T161646Z
      DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240110T170000
      DTSTAMP:20240109T161647Z
      DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240110T160000
      LAST-MODIFIED:20240109T161646Z
      SEQUENCE:0
      SUMMARY:test54321
      TRANSP:OPAQUE
      UID:156ED8F1-9BDA-43D2-BE7C-DDEFE18E95EF

      X-APPLE-CREATOR-TEAM-IDENTITY:0000000000
      END:VEVENT
      

      I think MagicMirror does not like the baikal server - no events created since I migrated from iCloud to self-hosted baikal are showing. Can you see anything unusual in the ics event above @sdetweil ?

        @sdetweil so I’ve just spun up a radicale calendar server and added a few test events, then some more - works perfectly!

        Looks like a problem with baikal integration

              @sdetweil this is from the curl’d ics file, showing one of the events that will not display on the mirror display:

              BEGIN:VEVENT
              CREATED:20240109T161646Z

              END:VEVENT
              

              I’d be happy to send over the contents of the ics file before events start, if that would be helpful? Far too much personal family info to send the whole thing, Im afraid (again, no offence intended)!

                @matt216 I used that event in an ICS and it displays just fine.

                so I think this is not the events but some communications problem.

                the fact that you have it working with another local hosting server tells me it’s something other than the data

                  Initial testing with the apache version of the baikal container looks promising (I’m currently having problems with the nginx version). Will continue testing along these lines…

                    OK interesting. I created a brand new calendar server. Empty. Added one event to it and configured the mirror calendar module to use this server. It shows the one single event ok. I added a second new event to the calendar and this also shows on the mirror. Seems to work as expected - new events are showing!

                    Then I import my whole famlly calendar and run the same test. I now have 5 family events showing on the calendar. But if I add a new event that should show within my 5 events, it does not show. :(

                    Debug logs >somefile.txt show the mirror is picking up the new event from the ics file, it’s just not showing on the display.

                      @sdetweil I wonder if I could run a nightly cron job to purge the calendar module or something similar…? Not sure how the calendar fetcher works.
                      It still feels like the calendar will load an ics link ok the first time, but is not displaying events created since that first load.
                      Nightly purge and re-connect would be acceptable, I think. Any advice there?

                        @matt216 there is no way to programmatically trigger a calendar refresh. you have to restart mm

                        but you could do this w pm2

                        pm2 restart MagicMirror
                        

                        (or it’s number)

                        in the current state does the broadcasting message indicate a change in number of events?
