Hi Sam,
I’m afraid this issue has reoccurred on an event that is not full day but instead is supposed to be the last in a series. I believe it’s the same issue though where the timezone / BST is causing the problem.
Sample ICS data below:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR METHOD:PUBLISH PRODID:Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 VERSION:2.0 X-WR-CALNAME:Test Calendar BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:GMT Standard Time BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:16010101T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=10 END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:16010101T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=3 END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE BEGIN:VEVENT RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20250630T173000Z;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO;WKST=MO UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E00800000000E05582F27408DB01000000000000000 010000000E892CDFA6C0E4E4298E1C987B4791120 SUMMARY:Calendar Event DTSTART;TZID=GMT Standard Time:20250331T183000 DTEND;TZID=GMT Standard Time:20250331T200000 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20250630T164141Z TRANSP:OPAQUE STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION: X-MICROSOFT-CDO-APPT-SEQUENCE:0 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:BUSY X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:BUSY X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INSTTYPE:1 X-MICROSOFT-DONOTFORWARDMEETING:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-REQUESTEDATTENDANCEMODE:DEFAULT X-MICROSOFT-ISRESPONSEREQUESTED:FALSE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
I’ve stripped out most of the content other than the event in question and the timezone info.
You’ll see that the DTSTART and DTEND data shows the correct start and end time but the RRULE shows the UNTIL as an hour before the event so the event does not show on the MM calendar module.
The event in Outlook shows the series being every Monday until 1st July.
I’m not sure if this “bug” is a problem with Outlook or MagicMirror.
Happy to start a new thread, or log a bug on GitHub if either of those is preferrable.
