@ankonaskiff17 @sdetweil
That Holiday calendar has a huge amount of garbage associated with it as an aside but if newest is at top its just a lot more of that null business.Scroll down you get to that error associated with google calendar that one time then a ton of garbage associated with the holiday calendar.
-
@ankonaskiff17 weird… i don’t see that
-
@sdetweil All that garbage associated with Holiday calendar is being pulled from the CalendarLabs site but since MM is loading it in list format it just gets lost in the ether?
-
@ankonaskiff17 no idea, still debugging
-
@ankonaskiff17 ok, can recreate… was testing on 2.18 … which didn’t fail…
so that points to the node-ical lib which was changed for this release…
-
@sdetweil You have any thoughts/ideas about what is going on?
EST5EDT looks like some sort of mash up of Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Daylight Time and your node-ical comment look like a more complex issue. Are they intertwined?
Neither of the two would be in my control in just dropping a Google generated URL in the config file. -
@ankonaskiff17 can u look at the entry in google calendar and see what the timezone setting is?
how did u create that entry? phone, tablet, computer???

@sdetweil Per Google the only way to get the links is via the PC/Laptop Google Calendar. In their help links they spell that out pretty explicitly and that is how I did it and have always done it. The url generated on settings page is pretty straightforward with only possible error being if you choose public or private url.
As far as time zone, I’ve attached an image but in screen capture the top Primary was and is correct just as shown. The secondary was some oddball city with time being GMT - 7 hours vs primary being GMT -4 so I changed secondary to be another GMT-4 city.
I looked last night, but on phone, and it showed correct time.
Is the 5 in EST5EDT what happens when toggling between EST & EDT & GMT? I dont have any idea if EU has an equivalent to daylight savings time
