      Hello all, I’ve got an issue I hope someone can help with. My MagicMirror has been working great for a year or so. I use MMM-Calext3, and have generic holidays and a personal google calendar shown. It has worked without issue.
      A few days ago, I was trying to install a module that puts the display to sleep on a schedule and whatnot. In the process, I goofed up my config.js and the mirror would launch but had errors (wrong characters in wrong places type issues). I did not touch any of my calendar entries nore the calendar modules. While troubleshooting why my power/sleep module wasn’t working I saw I was behind on the MM base version, so I updated. I don’t recall updating anything else. I finally just restore the config.js to the working version i copied before I started.
      So now, my MM works, CalEXT3 launches, but I’m not getting any events passed from the default calendar. Again, I did not change a single character in the calendar entries, what is below is what was working fine 48 hours ago. Can someone smarter than myself take a look? I did npm start, but is seems to hang up after the System information line. I left it about 10 minutes with no change or additional lines showing up, eventually just had to ctrl-c out of it. I can put the calendar ICS links in a browser and they still work.

      let config = {
      	address: "localhost",	// Address to listen on, can be:
      							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
      							// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
      							// - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
      							// Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
      	port: 8080,
      	basePath: "/",	// The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
      									// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
      	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses
      									// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
      									// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
      									// or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
      									// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],
      
      	useHttps: false,			// Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP

        @bobbylx the new MagicMirror version checks the position against a known list, and “” is invalid

        module: "calendar",
                                 position: "",
        

        just comment out the position

        module: "calendar",
            //                     position: "",

          @sdetweil You sir are correct, that fixed it. I guess I should have read some release notes, haha. Thanks for your help.

            @bobbylx glad you got it working

            we added the checks because we crashed otherwise. we shouldn’t crash.

            there was an error reported in the MagicMirror startup messages as well
