          @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
          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
          URL;VALUE=URI:
          X-APPLE-CREATOR-IDENTITY:com.apple.mobilecal
          X-APPLE-CREATOR-TEAM-IDENTITY:0000000000
          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?

                      @sdetweil yes, the broadcasting event number increases by 1 when I add my new event, but the event does not show on the display.

                        @matt216 can u show me the cal config again… as far as I can tell, the ONLY reason its not displayed is that the count (maximumEntries) clips off the total number of events

                        actually there are more conditions… in calendar.js
                        but they are all configurable

                        			for (const e in calendar) {
                        				const event = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(calendar[e])); // clone object
                        
                        				if (this.config.hidePrivate && event.class === "PRIVATE") {
                        					// do not add the current event, skip it
                        					continue;
                        				}
                        				if (limitNumberOfEntries) { (//called with true) 
                        					if (event.endDate < maxPastDaysCompare) {
                        						continue;
                        					}
                        					if (this.config.hideOngoing && event.startDate < now) {
                        						continue;
                        					}
                        					if (this.config.hideDuplicates && this.listContainsEvent(events, event)) {
                        						continue;
                        					}
                        					if (--remainingEntries < 0) {
                        						break;
                        					}
                        				}
                        

                        and after filtering them out , apply the number of days limit and max entries limit

                        		// Limit the number of days displayed
                        		// If limitDays is set > 0, limit display to that number of days
                        		if (this.config.limitDays > 0) {
                        			let newEvents = [];
                        			let lastDate = today.clone().subtract(1, "days").format("YYYYMMDD");
                        			let days = 0;
                        			for (const ev of events) {
                        				let eventDate = moment(ev.startDate, "x").format("YYYYMMDD");
                        				// if date of event is later than lastdate
                        				// check if we already are showing max unique days
                        				if (eventDate > lastDate) {
                        					// if the only entry in the first day is a full day event that day is not counted as unique
                        					if (!this.config.limitDaysNeverSkip && newEvents.length === 1 && days === 1 && newEvents[0].fullDayEvent) {
                        						days--;
                        					}
                        					days++;
                        					if (days > this.config.limitDays) {
                        						continue;
                        					} else {
                        						lastDate = eventDate;
                        					}
                        				}
                        				newEvents.push(ev);
                        			}
                        			events = newEvents;
                        		}
                        
                        		return events.slice(0, this.config.maximumEntries);
