The 1st week starts on Saturday, October 29 and ends on Sunday, November 4.

I’m not sure if that’s a challenge or a warning. I guess I’m going to setup a new dev environment.

been a constant battle since then…

this one has me stumped… been looking at a reliable solution for nearly a year…
garbage in, garbage out

I believe you when you say it’s messy. I don’t know JS but I know more about it now over the past three days than I ever thought I would. I’ve never really messed around with calendars and some of this stuff. Much of it is foreign to me.

read my other post, you’ll see the mess we have on our hands.

That’s interesting and my issue is really strange still. One series of my recurrences shifts from Wednesday to Thursday after the first one that displays. So, the first occurrence is on Wednesday, the next three are on Thursday. The other series starts on the second week of the month on a Saturday, and the recurrences are also on Saturday and nothing is wrong in that series.

When I concatenate the ics, I don’t find any “RULE” using grep. I’ve re-downloaded and it’s simply not there. Perhaps Nextcloud doesn’t generate it that way?

Perhaps I will spend some time looking into learning more about JS this weekend so I can troubleshoot further.

RRULES is not in the file that I could find. I also downloaded the ics directly from my Nextcloud instance and tried a manual static load like BasicUser did found here:

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/13488/default-calendar-and-nextcloud-caldav

Effectively, I am cutting out the use of any 3rd party module and the recurrences are the same. The recurrences on Saturdays are correct while my recurrences on Wednesday shift to Thursdays after the first event. The ics loads just like when I pull it directly from the export url; SOME of the recurrences are a day ahead. This appears to be an issue with the default calendar and not the ics or the third party modules because the third party modules mirror what the default calendar sees and the ics file displays correctly in other applications and programs.

Perhaps I will spend some time looking into learning more about JS this weekend so I can troubleshoot further.

@sdetweil here is some information:

There should be RRULES in the file. Could you find?

Here it is. I’d rather not have a public subscription out there but it is what it is.

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/17087/recurring-calendar-events-are-off-by-a-day?_=1699724623475

For a work-around, I can use the public subscription to the calendar just fine but the recurrences are shifted over one day like in a previous post in this forum you participated in. I looked at the calendarutils.js you mention in that posting for modification but I don’t see the lines that should be modified. I would rather use the ics method but will use this export method if I can get the events to be in the correct day. Can you help me with that?

broadcastPastEvents: true,
maximumEntries: 100,
maximumNumberOfDays: 365,

these parms are not calendar specific, they need to be above the calendars:[] list
and the first/last are the same as their default value

in the config options doc,

the first section applies to ALL calendars

the later section applies to each calendar entry. { url:…}

also

the master event with the start:/dtend is not present in the list you showed

config: {
                                broadcastPastEvents: true,
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
                                                symbol: 'calendar-check',
                                                broadcastPastEvents: true,
                                                maximumEntries: 100,
                                                maximumNumberOfDays: 365,
                                                url: 'http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Routine.ics',
                                                name: 'Routine',
                                                color: 'yellow',

                                                  method: 'basic'
                                                },
                                        },
