This SHOULD be on April 2nd, but it’s displaying on the mirror as the 3rd. On Google Calendar, it’s fine.

@sdetweil I tried defaulting back to a standard config and I’m seeing the same off results. I’m noticing it’s not just annual dates, but any regular repeating dates.
-
@ctkjedi well, in this particular case the daylight savings adjustment calculation is wrong, so we get off a day
in 1952, DST starts on April 27th
in 1992. DST starts on April 5th
in 2007 DST starts on March 11the date/time gave me the right offset but i ‘assumed’ it was same as now…
if u reset the start year of the entry to 2008, it comes out right…
next release is on april 1st… don’t know if I can get this change in by then
-
@sdetweil goddang daylight saving time! I really hope they follow through this time and get rid of it.
I’m not really sure where the start date was set though. I only added it to this particular calendar a few days ago and there isn’t a way, that I can see, to edit it.
-
@ctkjedi I submitted a fix for this issue, #2483
and the fix has been accepted for next release. -
@sdetweil Awesome. thanks for the follow up!
-
@sdetweil This may or may not be related, so I’m happy to start a new thread.
I have a weekly D&D game, scheduled for every Saturday evening. The ICS reads as
BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210319T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210319T230000 DTSTAMP:20210316T001016Z UID:**REDACTED** RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210320T200000 CREATED:20210213T021153Z DESCRIPTION:**REDACTED** LAST-MODIFIED:20210315T194037Z LOCATION:**REDACTED** SEQUENCE:1 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:D&D TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT
However, I rescheduled this week’s event for Friday, which reflects correctly on Google Calendar, but now all the entries on the mirror have been re-calculated as being on every Friday going forward.
-
@ctkjedi can u show the updated ics event with the rule (repeating rule)…
this one is not repeating

@ctkjedi thanks… I submitted fix #2488 for this… the library that does repeating rules ASSUMES the date is in local time, not utc time (from the ical parser library)
this fix has also been accepted for next release (April 1)
