@sdetweil Thanks Sam. Will have a go and report back.

@matt216 you can also use this web site

https://codebeautify.org/jsonvalidator?/jsonvalidate

to paste in the data (from [ to ]) and then push the format button (in pink) to make it more readable, ctrl-f will allow you to search for the entry you are looking for

@sdetweil good tip, thanks.

Little update - I put maximumEntries back to 5 and all my events showed up! But then I added another event, pm2 restart and they disappeared again :weary_face:

We’re getting closer! I think you’re on to something with the maximumEntries effect. And also handling between back and front end.

I’ll have a go with editing calendar.js this weekend and report back.

Thanks

@sdetweil Hi Sam.
The before filter section is not showing the events that are missing. So not sent from the parser…?
The events to process section reflects what is seen in the before filter section.

Over the weekend the calendar looked good, but come Monday morning lots of events are missing. The mirror is currently showing events 10 days in the future even though there are plenty of events before then.

I have had a play with module config maximumEntries and limitDays to see if anything improves, but with no luck.

Thanks again,
Matt

@matt216 ok, go back to the prior parser

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install node-ical@0.16.1

restart MM

@sdetweil said in Calendar not updating:

node-ical@0.16.1

Done. Different events shown on the mirror - events over the next few days rather than 10 days away! - but still events not displaying.

Browser dev tools indicate they’re sitll not getting parsed.
Server pm2 logs do show the events are being picked up from the calendar server e.g.

0|MagicMirror  | {"type":"VEVENT","params":[],"created":"2024-01-16T10:33:48.000Z","end":"2024-01-19T15:00:00.000Z","dtstamp":"2024-01-16T10:33:49.000Z","start":"2024-01-19T14:00:00.000Z","datetype":"date-time","lastmodified":"2024-01-16T10:33:48.000Z","sequence":"0","summary":"Alex bike","transparency":"OPAQUE","uid":"66D38BB9-70EA-486B-A297-58C2E0F3642C","url":{"params":{"VALUE":"URI"},"val":""},"APPLE-CREATOR-IDENTITY":"com.apple.mobilecal","APPLE-CREATOR-TEAM-IDENTITY":"0000000000"}

is not showing on the display and is not showing in browser devtools.

@matt216 can u show the rest of the debug on that event?

matt216

@sdetweil Hi Sam.
For a test I created an event in my calendar called test111 and verified server sync across several devices. This event starts in a few hours time so should be at the top of the events displayed on the mirror. I then stopped and started pm2.

Here are the magicmirror debug logs for the event:

[19.01.2024 08:41.23.286] [DEBUG] Event:

But in dev tools the event does not appear in the before filter events or events to process console sections which, i think, would indicate it’s not being parsed through to the UI…?

For comparison, if it helps, an event that is being parsed through looks like this in the logs (with a couple of bits redacted for privacy):

@matt216 interesting

time to fall back to the prior parser

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install node-ical@0.16.1

@sdetweil said in Calendar not updating:

npm install node-ical@0.16.1

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm install node-ical@0.16.1

up to date in 11s

196 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

Done. Same result - event which should display is seen in the pm2 logs, but not in the UI events.
