MMM-CalendarExt2: Black Screen

jack819 · Apr 2, 2021, 2:46 PM

I will start this by saying I am a newbie so bear with me. I have installed multiple other modules with little to no issues. However, when I try to install this, I cannot get it to work. I tried and when Magic Mirror started, it would not show up. I tried sample configs, the most basic config, etc. I started over from the beginning and installed Magic Mirror and all of the other modules again. When I start Magic Mirror, I just get a black screen. I also tried changing the webcal:// to http:// and still get the black screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can get Magic Mirror to start but the MMM-CalendarExt2 does not. Here is my config file (i know this is very basic but I tried more advanced ones and they still did not work):

{
			module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
			config: {
				calendars : [
					{
						url: "my url that is working with the standard calendar module",
					},
				],
				views: [
					{
						mode: "daily",
					},
				],
				scenes: [
					{
						name: "DEFAULT",
					},
				],
			},
		},

@jack819 can u look in the console where u start <MM (npm start ) and see what messages are there, and also, open the developers windows, ctrl-shift-i on the mm keyboard, and select the console tab, put ext in the filter field

look at those messages

@jack819 , I may have given you bad advice. It shouldn’t cause any issues. Sorry about that.

So starting over, Did you do all of this (and have no errors)?

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2
cd MMM-CalendarExt2
npm install

@sdetweil Like I said, this is all new to me. How do I look in the console where I start <MM? I have it set up to auto start. I was able to look in the developers window and nothing is shown when I put ‘ext’ in the filter field.

@linuxha This is exactly what I did and I had no errors.

@jack819 looks like u already have a copy of mm running

if using pm2, then do

pm2 status
and
pm2 restart 0

jack819 · Apr 7, 2021, 11:23 AM

@sdetweil I did that command and still do not have the Calendar showing up.
