I went through all suggested changes to make it work for my fb birthday calendar and after spending alot of time, i realized that i can if i add facebook URL as suggested in this article. it shows me events (which i selected to be interested/going) . However, birthday calendar doesn’t shows up on my mirror.

Let me know if i missed anything or guide me to make facebook birthday work for my mirror.

Thanks in advance !!

Ok, I need some testers … this is working for me with a small change in our fetcher code. So, for those willing to try, please following these steps:

Step 1
Navigate to the 'MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/' folder

Step 2
Open the 'calendarfetcher.js' file in your favorite editor and look for the following line and delete it:

ical.fromURL(url, {}, function(err, data) {

Step 3
After deleting that line, in its place you’re going to paste in the following snippet of code:

    var opts = {
        headers: {
            'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Node.js 6.0.0) MagicMirror/2.0 (https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror)'
        }
    }
    ical.fromURL(url, opts, function(err, data) {

Please note that very last line, it’s almost identical to the one you deleted. Only one piece changed and you must put that line in as modified above!

Step 4
Save and close the file, and relaunch your MM process.

Step 5
Report back to me.

On my setup, it’s working. I’m getting this in my calendar now. (The names you see are birthdays, I simply have a filter to remove 's birthday' form the string that Facebook returns.)

Made these changes, we are good! Works now :dark_sunglasses: Thank you so much for all the help.

Yeah, not as easy as it sounds. For those who enjoy seeing the nitty gritty, this is what happens with the various calendar payloads and you can clearly see the FB one failing:

Working on trying to figure out why since it does work from the command line, but not in browser.

What is the tool you’re using in that screenshot to test this out?

So here’s the fun part … mine was working. Because I hadn’t gone a 'git pull' in a while on my dev tree, so I never saw the change. Now that I am current, it’s not working. So, none of you are any more crazy than we all are, it really isn’t working. I’m running some debugging and trying to figure out where and why it’s failing.

We’ll have to recruit more QA peeps for future commits! :P haha

Looks like Facebook is returning an ‘unsupported browser’ page when we try to fetch the data. Well aren’t they clever. Time to do some code massaging …

Is this normal?

Is it possible that my Upcoming Events Calendar is overwriting the Birthday Calendar?? When I download the ICS file from Facebook, both the Birthday and Upcoming Events ICS files have the same name! Named this: “u” + USERID + “.ics”

Possible that the MagicMirror is pulling down the ICS files, but overwriting each other because of same name?

Shear curiosity, can you check the console logs, or simply run 'pm2 logs <YOUR_MM_PROCESS>' and see if there are any helpful messages about the calendar there, specifically the one that’s failing …

Nothing that looks wrong…

The Keys and IDs are exactly the same between my Birthday and Upcoming Events URLs…The Calendar only outputs the Upcoming Events, gahhh
