I can't for the love of god understand what's wrong with my config

@bougle if you edit the synced ics file, are there events present?
ics is just a text file

@bougle said in I can't for the love of god understand what's wrong with my config:

http://localhost:8080/modules/calendars/D8CC2057-AD72-45D1-9AC7-942E8C2A5DD1.ics

is the synced ics IN the modules folder tree??
you had to MAKE that calendars folder, right?

it MUST be in the MagicMirror folder tree to use localhost:8080

Try


let config = {address: "0.0.0.0", …….

And


url: "http://0.0.0.0:8080/modules/calendars……..

Worked for me.

@chrisfr1976 technically you shouldn’t need this

“0.0.0.0” means listen on all active network interfaces (wifi and ethernet) without having to specify their addresses ( which would be impossible to do for multiple interfaces)

the http://0.0.0.0:8080 makes no sense to me , unless they coded in a hack to say keep looking for whatever interface works. although localhost does that same thing

the other thing “0.0.0.0” does is allow incoming requests from outside this system, where localhost restricts incoming request to ONLY apps on this same system

@sdetweil Thank you for your reply.

Yes I do already have all the three .ics files in

~/MagicMirror/modules/calendars

@chrisfr1976 Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it out today and report back.

@bougle ok, next, can you look at the output of npm start and see the message
broadcasting xxx events for calendar —url----
for each url?

sdetweil

@bougle make any progress?

Sorry for the late reply. Super swamped because of university.

here is the log:

It shows that there are 0 events. And btw, the .ics files are completely empty.

UPDATE!!

Today, I re-ran

vdirsyncer discover
vdirsyncer sync

And was able to sync with the calendar and it works!! I am not exactly sure why but I did perform a iCloud sync too earlier.

Thanks @chrisfr1976 and @sdetweil for your help:)
