Basic Calendar log errors

johntech

Noob here trying to get the basic calendar to work. I tried several ics links and none work. The screen shows US HOLIDAYS and under that it says No upcoming events. I did a lot of searching on the internet and through the forums. I ended up finding some information on how to check the log files. In here I found the following when restarting MagicMirror:

The next to the last line says “Maybe no internet connection.” That is not a problem as everything else on the screen is updating just fine.

This is the link I’m using from the latest calendar config file:

{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "US Holidays",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: "calendar-check",
						url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics"					}
				]
			}
		},

All of the settings in the calendar.js file are unchanged.

UPDATE:

I grabbed another sd card and and loaded MM on it and am getting the similar errors on a new install as follows:

Any idea what this error is and possibly how to fix it so I can get the calendar working again? Thanks for any info!!

@johntech yes, looks like the calendar data has an empty repeating rule and the library code we use
can’t handle that

edit (nano) the MagicMirror/node_modules/rrule/dist/es5/rrule.js

find (ctrl w)

options.byeaster = Number(value);

and add these two lines

     case '':
        break;

so it looks like this

            case 'BYEASTER':
                options.byeaster = Number(value);
                break;
           case '':
		break;

Good!! That fixed the issue of the calendar not displaying , but now it is showing double entries in the list. 2 - Easters, Mother’s Day, President’s day etc.

but now it is showing double entries in the list. 2 - Easters, Mother’s Day, President’s day etc.

cause there are two entries in the file

looks like calendarlabs.com is having trouble

@sdetweil
Ok. Is it possible to download the file, edit it and use is locally?

Thank you for the help!!

John

sdetweil

@johntech sure… use the url (change webcal to https)
edit the downloaded file (there are multiples of all the entries)

copy the file to the MagixMirror/modules folder (thats where the MM web server is pointing)

then edit the url in the config entry to

“modules/???” // ics filename

johntech

@sdetweil
Sorry for the misunderstanding but is this what you meant?

url: “https://modules/US_Holidays.ics”

@johntech http://localhost:8080/…
