sdetweil

@matt216 also another user having trouble… his url is a shared cal , the other person owns it, but has given the secret url to the spouse for MM cal usage

@sdetweil done

matt216

@sdetweil Not entirely sure what you mean here. This is a calendar that I own. It’s a locally hosted container service. Several devices read/write to it. It is a baikal server. I have seen several forum posts that suggest using the caldav URL adding ?export to the end to generate the ics file.

sdetweil

@matt216 ok… looking at the code

sdetweil

@matt216 can u show me that event from the ICS file?

does the rest of the debug output say

Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting xxx events

where xxx is not 0

matt216

@sdetweil from ics file:

Broadcasting 1000+ events, yes.

sdetweil

@matt216 and it works perfectly here…

could you try in config before the calendars list

broadcastPastEvents: false

matt216

@sdetweil config now:

{
                        module: "calendar",
                        header: "calendar",
                        position: "top_left",
                        config: {
                                fetchInterval: 120000,
                                timeFormat: 'absolute',
                                maximumEntries: 5,
                                broadcastPastEvents: false,
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                url: 'https://my.cal.url',
                                                auth:   {
                                                        user: 'user',
                                                        pass: 'pass',
                                                        method: 'basic'
                                                        }
                                        }
                                        ],
                                }
                },

No change. Still not displaying newly created events. :(

sdetweil

@matt216 ok, i don’t know… lets get you back to running on the prior release

stop mm, shouldn’t be running as its not helpful

cd ~/MagicMirror

git tag -l

to see the list of tagged commits,

then

git checkout temp_branch -b tags/v???????

where ??? is the number 2.25.0 or whatever u want to go back to

then

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

please advise(we can get back to the current v2.26.0 branch too, very easily

sdetweil

@matt216 just one last thing, if you comment out

 maximumEntries: 5,

what happens?

matt216

@sdetweil commenting maximumEntries just shows the default 10 entries, but still does not include recently created events that should show within those 10.

Getting a git error (novice here, sorry):

fatal: 'temp_branch' is not a commit and a branch 'tags/v2.24.0' cannot be created from it

Although this issue existed before I upgraded to 2.26.0…

matt216

I might have a go at spinning up another calendar server and see if the issue still exists there. This calendar is a newly self-hosted one so it could be an issue there (although the magicmirror is the only device having trouble with it).

Thanks for the help still.
Matt

sdetweil

@matt216 also try

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron@28.1.1

supposedly it has the fix for ipv6 vs 4

matt216

@sdetweil Thanks. Done. No change :(

Have you heard of others with this problem? No one else on this thread. I really appreciate your efforts, but don’t worry too much if it’s just me. Part of the fun with self-hosting calendars etc :)

sdetweil

@matt216 I have not had others with no updates, but others w missing events

nechry

I also had the problem with a Google calendar and an iCloud. for me the update to electronic@28.1.1 was the solution, now everything works as with the previous version of MM

sdetweil

@nechry thanks for the feedback

@sdetweil said in Calendar not updating:

@matt216 I have not had others with no updates, but others w missing events

Hi, I’m pretty new here, so sorry if I mess something up. I think I have the same problem. Installed MM yesterday (so pretty vanilla setup), the only module I added is the MMM-CalendarExt3.
I configured everything as it should be (I hope at least), but for some reason, my calendars are not beeing updated and one is not beeing show at all… I don’t know what to do anymore, maybe you guys have an idea.

Here is my error: ```

@mspk I think you have the wrong calendar url , you need the ical format url, not the embed url
mine is like

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/sdetweil%40gmail.com/private-fhkjsadfhsdflk'sdfk/basic.ics
