Default Calendar doesn't show annually events

Re: Default Calendar Module will not display an annually/monthly recurring event at end of March.

Hi there!

I know, this topic is quite old. But the same problem for me. Has there been a solution for this problem? I’m using the default calendar module and it will not show yearly events. If I change the events to “weekly” everything is ok. But I want to show birthdays and so I will need the yearly events :-)

Is there someone who can help?

Thank you!

@ghelweg My default calendar shows birthdays very well. Also, the issue in the referred thread did not seem to be a general issue since Sam was not able to reproduce it.
Are you sure it is a module issue and not one of your (google) calendar?

@lavolp3 Hi! I don’t really know. I 've tested with two different (microsoft)-calendars and both don’t show the yearly events, and I can reproduce that. I am also running the MagicMirror in a VM for testing things, but on both, the hardware and the vm, the same problem.

I also tested the same calendar with a 3party-module. However, there is no problem.

Thanks!

Hi there!

Looks like that this is a problem with (my) microsoft-calendar. I tested with a google-calendar and everything worked fine.

Maybe there is someone, who can reproduce that, too and has a solution?

Thanks a lot!

@sdetweil I’m completely new to MM (as of yesterday) and encountering the same thing with outlook ics. Recurring weekly/monthly events show up fine, but annual events don’t!
Running MM v2.14.0

What can I provide to help troubleshoot this? (Might have to point me in the right direction of how to post code).

@twisticles if u can, send the ics file to my email so I can test w it.

second u can turn on debug by changing a line in config.js
it will produce a lot of messages.

	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR", "DEBUG"],

then start mm like this

npm start > somefile
