Problems with calender and Nextcloud

[kruf]

@bdream
thank you very much for your answer, I tried to use the link setup with the user and password in the name, but it does not work for me. I also tried to use a public link.
I do not know why my dates do not appear.

Greetings

than start the config as first with only an official calendar as shown in the README.md on GitHub ad default value:

config: {
	colored: false,
	coloredSymbolOnly: false,
	calendars: [
		{
			url: 'http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics',
			symbol: 'calendar',
			auth: {
			    user: 'username',
			    pass: 'superstrongpassword',
			    method: 'basic'
			}
		},
	],
}

If this don’t work your problem is on other place and as I said in my first post: “If I’m wrong, please provide some information enable helpers to help.”

@kruf so two things to test

1. with the calendar URL, open a browser on the pi, and put in the URL… it should download the ICS file
   if not, u need to solve this part. Mirror does not run as any particular user, so it needs access without
   credentials (unless they are part of the actual url)

2. I helped another user who did some download process, and then use the ics file locally, and had a similar problem. it turned out the ics reader is expecting windows line ends (cr+lf, \r\n), but the file had only unix line ends (lf, \n). so he had to do a unix2dos conversion as part of the download process

I tried your holiday calender in hessen, and it works. The standart calender also works just fine.

@kruf There is no download, it says "its a webdav interface and you need a client for it.
Do you know how to do the conversion?

@kruf
I use Nextcloud and have URL like this working.

url: "https://NAME:PASSWORD@DOMAIN.TLD/Nextcloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/CALENDARNAME/contact_birthdays?export"

url: "https://NAME:PASSWORT@DOMAIN.TLD/Nextcloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/CALENDARNAME/pers%c3%b6nlich?export"

May this help you

@bdream has CALENDERNAME to be changed? Or is the phrase after that important?

All UPPERCASE need to change as your calendar.
Exml for the birthdays from my personal calendar:

url: "https://NAME:PASSWORD@DOMAIN.TLD/Nextcloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/myname/pers%c3%b6nlich?export"

You have to change
NAME -> name you access your calendar
PASSWORD -> your Password
DOMAIN.TLD -> the url where ever you have your domain with nextcloud installed
!!! If you don’t use default installation of nextcloud you might change Nextcloud also!!!
CALENDARNAME -> How you named the calendar (expl.: myname, yourname, yourwivesname, yoursonsname…)

I have different calendars for all people in my family so I have for each calendar diffent NAME, PASSWORD, CALENDARNAME

hey together,

i have the same issue here, but on my side i had a working system in the past.

My MagicMirror was broken and offline for half an year. Now he is up and running. I made an update to the current MM Version. For Nextcloud i am always on the current version.

So, now the problem is that on MM no Calender content will shown. I did not change somethink on the configuration. I use the same links what you mentioned here. When i put it in a browser i can download the ICS file and the content is correct.

It is a bit pitty that i had a software update on Nextcloud and MM side. Any ideas what i can test ?
