    And yeah, I’ve read through the half dozen or so other posts with similar issue (ex. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/8856/calendar-module-1-day-error/6) but even copying those configs to the letter haven’t solved the problem. All the annual, all day events (holidays, birthdays, anniversaries) show as being one day after they actually occur. I’ve checked and rechecked the config, restarted and rebooted but I keep seeing the same thing over and over again. At first I thought MagicMirror was pranking me by showing April Fool’s Day on the 2nd of April, but all the repeating dates are a day late.

    MM v 2.14.0
    Calendar module config:

    {
                            module: 'calendar',
                            header: 'Kirkman Home Calendar',
                            position: 'top_left',
                            config: {
                                    fullDayEventDateFormat: 'M/D',
                                    timeFormat: 'absolute',
                                    nextDaysRelative: true,
                                    showEnd: false,
                                    getRelative: 0,
                                    urgency: 0,
                                    titleReplace: {"'s Birthday":""},
                                    customEvents: [{keyword: 'Birthday', symbol: 'birthday-cake', color: 'Gold'}],
                                    calendars: [
                                            {
                                                    symbol: "calendar",
                                                    url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/XXX/basic.ics"
                                            },
                                            {
                                                    symbol: "glasses",
                                                    url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/XXX/basic.ics"
                                            }
                                    ],
                            }
                    },
    

    I wouldn’t at all be surprised to find out I misplaced a quotation mark or a semicolon, but could someone take a glance to see if I’ve missed something or is the module currently borked? Thanks!

      @ctkjedi this is usually because the date in the ICS file isn’t right…

        This SHOULD be on April 2nd, but it’s displaying on the mirror as the 3rd. On Google Calendar, it’s fine.

          @sdetweil I tried defaulting back to a standard config and I’m seeing the same off results. I’m noticing it’s not just annual dates, but any regular repeating dates.

            @ctkjedi well, in this particular case the daylight savings adjustment calculation is wrong, so we get off a day

            in 1952, DST starts on April 27th
            in 1992. DST starts on April 5th
            in 2007 DST starts on March 11

            the date/time gave me the right offset but i ‘assumed’ it was same as now…

            if u reset the start year of the entry to 2008, it comes out right…

            next release is on april 1st… don’t know if I can get this change in by then

              @sdetweil goddang daylight saving time! I really hope they follow through this time and get rid of it.

              I’m not really sure where the start date was set though. I only added it to this particular calendar a few days ago and there isn’t a way, that I can see, to edit it.

                    @sdetweil This may or may not be related, so I’m happy to start a new thread.

                    I have a weekly D&D game, scheduled for every Saturday evening. The ICS reads as

                    BEGIN:VEVENT
                    DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210319T200000

                    SUMMARY:D&D
                    TRANSP:OPAQUE
                    END:VEVENT
                    

                    However, I rescheduled this week’s event for Friday, which reflects correctly on Google Calendar, but now all the entries on the mirror have been re-calculated as being on every Friday going forward.
