MMM-CalendarExt2 not showing all events

BKeyport

Sadly, with support being a minimum now due to Sean’s absence, I don’t think you’re gonna get too much support - Was it working before? when did it stop? DST change or randomly? is the ICS formatted to spec (there’s a lot of ‘junk’ to the spec, which results in calendars that work, but aren’t handled in the ICS handler for CX2)

Thank you for your answer.
Yes, it was working. But I had fewer calendars. I can’t really pinpoint when it stopped working. Maybe with the addition of another calendar? The thing is, the calendar that I added has very few events so I didn’t see right away if it was working or not.
Anyway, could you maybe point me in the right direction as to how I could debug the calendar? I am a developer but have no experience with node.js. I did try to debug the module by inserting console.log statements into the code but that was very cumbersome.
I guess the ICS is formatted correctly. Most of the calendars are self hosted so I don’t see a reason why some would not be working. And all of the calendars work with different apps on mobiles.

Sadly, I’m just dabbling myself - I have no idea how CX2 works in the slightest. One of the more experienced programmers might be able to help, say, @sdetweil or someone…

@BKeyport I can’t help. I have not looked at this modules workings

@thebia42 I am guessing the Mull calendar has a badly formatted entry

its just a text file when downloaded.
I guess one line does not have the required ; or : tokens

u should be able to use the grep command to find that line

grep -v : filename | grep -v ;

I’ll have a look at the data of the “Müll” calendar. What I don’t understand is that it works with any other program but maybe those programs are more lenient.
I’ve an idea how MMM-CalendarExt2 works but only together with MagicMirror not standalone in a development environment. But I guess I’ll figure that out eventually. Anyway, thanks for answering. If I find out anything I’ll come back here and post my findings. Maybe they’ll help somebody else one day.

After trying for hours to debug MagicMirror and modules inside and outside of MagicMirror I finally gave up and reinstalled MMM-CalendarExt2. Lo and behold everything is working again. So the next time something goes wrong I’ll just reinstall.
