Calendar module events stop displaying before due time/date

sdetweil

@castletonroad when u look at the calendar on screen, do the events show time (8am) or relative (2 hours). And they line up correctly w expected start time?

mm uses the system time
cal should have a timezone value.

if u edit the ics u should see the setting, does it match what u expect?

Hi, thanks for replying.

On the MagicMirror, currently (7pm), the school timetable calendar events are showing with start times and correctly, e.g. ‘Tomorrow at 08.25’.

Entries in the .ICS file include (e.g. for lesson 2, which is a problem):
DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20200720T092000
DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20200720T101500

…and for lesson 3 (a short one, and not a problem entry):
DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20200722T101500
DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20200722T103000

All seems fine, right?

@castletonroad and the pi is set to the same tz/location, correct?

The display on the MM is fine the day before.

But every morning, lesson 2 (and lesson 1) is no longer showing on the MM.

Next event showing on the MM is lesson 3, 10.30 to 11.25, even though it’s still only 6am.

@sdetweil

Yes, correct.

pi@raspberrypi2:~ $ date +“%Z %z”
AEST +1000
pi@raspberrypi2:~ $

As I mentioned, the issue is just with the first two events each day in this timetable.

I might delete one recurring event and replace it with a brand new one.

sdetweil

@castletonroad so, that means to me the pi is set to the wrong timezone, even tho displaying the right numbers for the time.

what is the location setting under the operating system calendar, upper right, right click,
locations

@sdetweil

Sorry, I should have said - I’m in Australia, AEST is correct for me.

sdetweil

@castletonroad you tz said Australia.

there have been a number of problems w calendar and recurring events. no fix yet that can see.

I would try the redo of the event. where do u create it? PC, mobile, web?

@sdetweil

I created the appointments a couple of years ago in Google, then imported them and have been using them since. I edit them via the NextCloud web interface. I have a script that exports them to .ICS for MM to read.

I will recreate a couple (the whole things takes an age as the timetable runs on a two week cycle) and see how that turns out for tomorrow. I’ll report back.

(The Calendar module is literally the main reason for my MM!)

Thanks for taking the time to help out.
