i have commented out the private one as when i do not the file crashes

[sdetweil]

@mercuryskies right, cause the 1st one ends with ,} which closes the lists of calendars, and then next one has a } too…

the 1st one url doesn’t work for some reason, (in browser)

so the test is to take each url, and put it into a browser on the pi, it should download the ics file… if not, you have to fix THAT…
the pi does not logon as you… so it might work on windows

[mercuryskies]

so both of the google calendar links do not work in my pi browser, it just says site not available.
if i paste the last default webcal address it just takes me to a google search result.

[sdetweil]

@mercuryskies i typed over the word calendar in the https://calendar.google.com and it gets urls not found, not address not found…

try that… seems some goofy character

[mercuryskies]

the standard google calendar url works fine. it takes me to my calendar and i can see everything in my browser.
but when i try my private and public urs in the browser i get the site can not be reached.
i am so confused

[sdetweil]

@mercuryskies i was confused as well, then started overtyping the url to find the problem… something in the word ‘calendar’ not right… type it over from the keyboard, not just cut/paste

[mercuryskies]

@sdetweil I’m sorry to sound dumb but can you elaborate . Over typing ? Where are you putting the corrected url .

[sdetweil]

@mercuryskies paste the url of a calendar entry into the browser, then using the keyboard, type over each character (overtype) one by one, and test hitting enter til the thing works.

that is what I had to do… then, when it works, copy/paste THAT url back into the calendar entry in config.js

[mercuryskies]

@sdetweil ooooooooh exciting. I’ll try that now
Thanks

[mercuryskies]

@mercuryskies as Instructed I’ve over typed each character and keep getting " the site cannot be reached
Calnder.google.com s server ip adress can not be found . Try checking connection and proxy firewall and Dns… "
Nothing downloads basically. The url ends in ics correct?

[sdetweil]

@mercuryskies ok, open another tab, and tpe the url https://calendar.google.com
hit enter… that should work

then copy paste everything AFTER the google.com from the failing to the good after the google.com (deleting any extra stuff on the good url)…

then try THAT

[mercuryskies]

i get error 404…

[sdetweil]

@mercuryskies

but it is no longer unable to find address… now, url not found.

u need to go back to the google site and get the url again…

[mercuryskies]

@sdetweil as in regenerate a new one ?

[sdetweil]

@mercuryskies well, it will be the same one the url is fixed… just special

i am on a new machine today, i saw your trouble… I went to my google calendar site, and copied the private url link and put into just install MM and it works correctly…

[mercuryskies]

@sdetweil the thing is I never copied it because the pi browser doesn’t display the entire calender website. I coudltn seem to get to the settings of the url on pi it seems to run a basic version of the website so I copied the private url from a windows internet browser where i could

[mercuryskies]

I tried resetting my ical adress and re entering a new one. Again. Problem persists. Does anyone have any more suggestions please ? Thanks. Michael
