Calendar Module missing recurring events schedule after 7pm EST
-
I have a google calendar which we use for family events, school lunches, kids dance schedules birthdays etc.
I have upgraded to the latest version of MM but not sure if it was working prior as I am in the process of learning and setting things up.
currently the calendar is populated with single entries we are adding and a number of recurring events sent from the dance studio.
none of the events that are scheduled after 7pm eastern standard are showing up, but I can see them in the ics file.
I currently have 2 calendars, a google link and the Canadian holidays , I have recently added a second google calendar to test out the theory by adding single events after 7pm.
I added a single even at 7:15pm and a recurring event 8:00pm on that calendar and the single even is showing itself.
I am using CalendarExt3Journal as main display but the events are not in the calendar module. when I move/copy one of the events we are sent and turn the other calendars off in config it looks like the events show up but not until some time in Feb.
at a loss.

@songman the rrule library is having trouble.
add“DEBUG”
to the logLevel list at the top of config jsthen use (pm2 stop all ahead of this)
cd ~/MagicMirror npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1
you’ll see Processing Event
and dates: [… ] for the list of recurring dates -
@songman yeh post was marked as spam
but there is is null, null
-
@sdetweil so the nulls are expected to be dates, is this a google problem or an rrule issue?
-
@songman that is an rrule problem. the ICS parser we use, node-ical, has included a new rrule version which supports utc based times, where the prior didn’t.
clearly it has some troubles.
-
@songman there are several issues with recurring dates in the latest release, but good news: there is a pull request with a bunch of fixes in it!
Hopefully, if all goes well, these fixes should be in the next MM release.
In the meantime, I’d be happy to see if the fixes resolve the issues that you’re seeing. If you could DM me the .ics file (feel free to delete location data and/or event names) and specify which events aren’t properly showing then I can take a look.
