    @ildottore I configured the syncer config to only synchronize calendar events with the property item_types = ["VEVENT"]. The CalDav function only supports the items like "VEVENT" and "VTODO".

    I think, that iOS/macOS does not store the birthdays directly in the calendars but adds the birthdays via the Contacts.app to the Calendar.app.

    Maybe you can achieve showing birthdays by syncing the contacts with vdirsyncer as described in the docs here and somehow extract the birthdays. But I think this would be quite costly…

    Or you can use the MagicMirror module MMM-iCloud-Client maybe…

      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!!

        @Beh Everything works fine until I’ll try to save the config file:

        1. ~/.vdirsyncer/config directory cannot be found
        2. Once I manuals create directories I also save config file as config.cfg and also tried config.config and save
        3. I haven’t filled in collections = [“HERE-GOES-THE-UUID-OF-THE-CALENDAR-YOU-WANT-TO-SYNC”] in conf. Could this make it crash?
        4. Running curl for timer ok.
          5.Then when vdirsyncer discover nothing happens I get Errno 21 and that’s where I get stuck…

        Really wonder what might be the issues here?

          The file is named config. It‘s not a directory, it‘s the name of the file. (No ending).

            @ganther so if I put config in ~/.vdirsyncer/config it should work?
            I think I did try it but somehow wansn’t able to read it as a file nor save and getting empty file and no result forward…

              Yes. Just type these commands as given:

              touch ~/.vdirsyncer/config
              nano ~/.vdirsyncer/config

                @l0cal Hi !

                I’m also interrested on this solution to display reminders on this way, but It dosen’t work actually for me.
                Do you have a running configuration

                  Two run two calendars, would I need to adjust config.js file as well?

                  Thanks

                      Is your ics-file in modules/calendars also 0kb?
