Shared icloud calendar

Bense

I have integrated a total of 3 icloud calendars via the custom calendar. 2 calendars work without any problems, one has been causing problems since the last MM update.

I can access the calendar that is causing problems in MM via Outlook as usual.

What could be the problem?

@Bense we’ve been experiencing problems w some calendars. don’t know why. no consistent debug info

you can try moving up to a newer electron

in the MagicMirror folder do

npm install electron@28.1.1

we’re also experiencing problems w the new calendar parser dropping repeating events. you could go back to the prior version

in the MagicMirror folder do

npm install node-ical@0.16.1

Here’s what I used to troubleshoot my initial iCloud calendar problems. Running vdirsyncer discover shows your current setup (respond with N to escape the command):

Discovering collections for pair iCloud_to_MagicMirror Mirror:

iCloud:
  - "25CB285C-E163-4E0E-B420-C3FB469B7C00" ("Calendar 1")
  - "9221FEE8-E8B4-4D07-9402-8638529919EC" ("Calendar 2")
  - "953A5477-E405-4ED6-A5C3-473444EACC95" ("Calendar 3")
warning: No collection "9221FEE8-E8B4-4D07-9402-8638529919EC" found for storage Mirror.
Should vdirsyncer attempt to create it? [y/N]:

You can then check the directory: ~/.vdirsyncer/status/iCloud_to_MagicMirror and see the files associated with your calendars.

Each file’s date should be current and the file size should be non-zero.

If a date is not current then something is broken in the process of retrieving that calendar’s data.

If the date is current and the file contains data, then there is something amiss beyond that point…possibly with the config.js entries.
