MagicMirror using the wrong time

I think I can do that. I’ll send it after work.

You’ve probably seen it by now - but I’ve sent you the config.js.

Also, I saw some info about times being correct when viewed on a remote browser. I’ve tried setting the external browser in my “mm.sh” script to both midori and firefox (both are installed). Neither makes a difference.

If this is a red-herring / rabbit-hole, I apologize in advance. I haven’t done any javascript in 10+ years… all this is sorcery to me. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I configured it to allow remote access via a browser on my desktop machine. On the pi running the newer (wrong time) version of MM, the browser displays the correct time, while the pi displays the wrong time. That’s kind of fascinating to me… clearly the browser is calculating the times on its own.

@blissb yes, someone else reported similar issue

the Midori/Firefox only work if the start line is changed in package.json

[sdetweil]

@blissb would you be willing to send me one of the extracted ics files

curl -sL the cal_url >somefile.ics.txt

because those are the ones causing the shift problem…
I want to see how the ICS is coded

same email ias the config

[blissb]

@sdetweil I sent the ics file – forgot to rename it with .txt. Let me know if I need to resend.

@blissb I have it. need to test.

[sdetweil]

@blissb i can’t recreate it on any system…

if you’ve got time, could you make another sde card and reinstall mm using my script?
and use your config.js

@sdetweil Just wanted to let you know, I’m working on this between other tasks. I’m also prepping for the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, so if I don’t get it finished tonight, it may be Friday before I get back with you.

@blissb no rush. when/if you have time
