Google calender no events shown

mercuryskies

Good afternoon, any help will be massively appreicated. So here goes. I cant get the google calender to work in the sense that no events ever appear .

I have tried both public and private ical links. Both end in ics.
I have pasted the ics file into a text editor and can see events
The other modules update and work fine in regards to internet connection.
Settings in my google cal are all set to show but nothing seems to be hidden and I can see everything up date on my syncd phone if edited via laptop .

Can anyone help ?? Thanks

@Seregeth the creator of the calendar is the only one that can find the link… so you have to ask them to give it to you…

I have the same problem on my family calendar… my daughter had to give it to me.

@mercuryskies put the https://… url into a browser on the pi. it should download the ics file…

if not, its not shared correctly…

the pi does not logon as you , like the windows browser does…

if it does download, then open the developers window on the Mirror screen, ctrl-shoft-i, select the tab labeled ‘console’ and scroll up to see any errors…
you can filter the messages too, by putting part of the module name in the filter field like ‘cal’ for calendar (no quotes)

@sdetweil what could make it not share correctly ? As in settings in my Google account?
I tried pasting the private and public url into my browser and it said the site cant be reached and that the server ip adress could not be found? Any thoughts? Thanks

sdetweil

@mercuryskies the link does say https:// not webcal:// right? if webcal, just change to https

it said the site cant be reached and that the server ip adress could not be found
but that is bigger problem than shared or not

mercuryskies

@sdetweil yeah it reads
Url: “https://calender.google.com/calender/ical and then my name and some random numbers letters etc and ends in ics” closed bracket

@mercuryskies

mine is

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/sdetweil%40gmail.com/private-b01535955cdb72021e36fae98c08a186/basic.ics

(number changed to protect the innocent!)

if you go to your browser again and do

https://calendar.google.com

what happens?

if u can’t reach the server, then the mirror cannot get the data

@sdetweil browser is fine. Also all my other internet dependant modules work ok. It is purely calender not showing events when the adress seems fine and all settings are set to allow

@mercuryskies please cut paste your calendar config. Change some of the coded numbers, but don’t change anything else. Use the code block to mark it

Select all, hit the </>
