Thanks for the example. Looks like a next project for me… :thumbs_up:

sdetweil

could look something like this

#!/bin/bash
fn=somecal.ics
while true
  do 
      # get the file from server
      curl -sL  url_of_remote_ics  >$fn
      # remove the trailing byday=??(end of line), file inline, so changed
      sed -i -e "s/;BYDAY=.*$//g" $fn
     # copy the modified file to the calendar folder
      cp $fn ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar
     # sleep til next cycle
      sleep ??? (seconds til next curl)
   done

have to make this executable with chmod +x script_filename

then
pm2 start script_filename
pm2 save

if you use a json config file ui can give a pretty name of the script… see the installers/pm2_magicmirror.json
pm2 start jsonfile
pm2 save

@sdetweil
Wow, thank you so much for your great support!

@sdetweil This morning we switched from DST to STD time. No issue at all with the calendar, everything works fine!
Again, thanks very much for your support!

@hango: yes that why i have planned to coding mine…

Calendar default module is really so bugy for me …
sample :

0|MagicMirror  | [2020-10-25 21:17:41.162] [LOG]    Use existing calendar fetcher for url: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/XXXX.ics
0|MagicMirror  | [2020-10-25 21:17:41.164] [INFO]   Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 5 events.
0|MagicMirror  | [2020-10-25 21:17:41.715] [INFO]   Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 5 events.

and some timethere is 3 broadcasts … result 2 or 3 updates on mirror

I don’t know really what they do with this modules… and I will NOT correct it !
In all case, it’s horrible

@hango have fun. there are 3 libraries below the mm code. all broken or in disagreement over the format of the date and time. and windows is a whole nother mess

why I work my a… off for you … I begin to wonder.

2.11 might work for you but it doesn’t for others. and I didn’t start the changes.
