@Gailby @ganther @Beh the ics files doesn’t seem to sync in Calendars… all files are empty. Have anyone resolved this?

Hi there,
i followed the instructions, my calendars are shown in discovery.
I copied the UUID and it starts syncing, but the saved files are 0kb.
I tried several calendars and checked the UUID’s but can’t find any mistake?

any ideas?
thanks!!

@maestro82
Did you check your calendar-url in conf/config.js?

My calendar is running now correctly. Don‘t know why but now my ics-file isn‘t empty anymore.

Went through all the steps in the tutorial (including the modification to set the .service file to point to where vdirsyncer really lives [Thanks @Beh !]). Everything works, except that my .ics files are empty (0 length). I saw a reference to this early in the forum comments, but the poster said they eventually started working with no reason for the change. Anyone have any ideas?

I’m getting this same thing. The .ics files are created, but they’re empty. Everything up to there is working. The iCloud credentials must be correct as it’s talking to me and I can see the names and uuids of the remote calendars when I use “vdirsync discover”. I just don’t get any events into the local files with “vdirsync sync”.

I’m aware this is more a vdirsync issue than MagicMirror, but did any of you folks having this problem ever figure it out?

Hello! I can get to the point where I update my collections, but when I run the discover feature again and enter y + enter I get this error message

error: Unknown error occurred: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘/home/pi’
error: Use -vdebug to see the full traceback.

Is there a fix for this?

@aceahspades is the userid you are logged on as

pi??

if not you should change that string the /user/xxxxx

where xxxxx is your logged on username

@sdetweil Up and running, thank you so very much!

Hey - this script with vdirsyncer was working for years without any issues - recently i obersverd that my meetings are not shown any more - so i went to the console and entered “vdirsyncer discover” - and i am getting this error:

warning: Failed to discover collections for iCloud, use -vdebug to see the full traceback.
error: Unknown error occurred: 401, message=‘Unauthorized’, url=URL(‘https://caldav.icloud.com/.well-known/caldav’)

I did check the iCloud API Keys - they are still there.
Is anyone having the same issue? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hi All,

I have set it up like above, my Icloud agenda is shown in the Magicmirror but it does not synchronize also not after the minutes set?
Also after vdirsyncer sync command it doesnt update directly on the Magicmirror only when i stop and start the services again.
Anybody knows what it could be?
I only had a fault during setup the Symbolic Link. The error message was that the file already Exist.
Thank you in advanced,

@nwonnink this topic is old, but seems pretty comprehensive

you have to setup some mechanism to run the sync on a schedule
