Default Calendar stuck on loading

Re: Calendar Module not working with Google Calendar

Magic Mirror Default Calendar not working. Just stuck loading. I get this with the US Holidays link. I installed node-ical@0.16.1 and Electron@28.1.1. I even disabled IPv6.

@sdetweil I reverted back to socket.io@4.7.2 that was used on MagicMirror@2.26.0 and that fixed the issue! I tried socket.io@4.7.5 but that didnt work. So I went back to @4.7.2 and that fixed it. It might just be a compatibility issue with Firefox ESR. Mystery Solved! Thanks for all your help!

@rushmuzik can you show the output of npm start

be careful some of the messages about calendar contain the full url from config

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik new calendar updates coming next release, jan 1

depend on fixes in node-ical 0.20.1

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil how do I show that?

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik you have to be in the MagicMirror folder for npm start

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil

I apologize for my ignorance. Im a noob but I learn quickly. Im using firefox not chromium

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik i’m confused, that is running my run-start script,
but setup for chromium not firefox.

if you are using this script and want firefox then you have to add the
export external_browser=firefox
before you do npm start

else my script will just loop

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil after running your script I did the following

sudo apt-get remove chromium-browser
sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-esr

cd ~/MagicMirror
export external_browser=firefox
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”

cd ~/MagicMirror/
pm2 start MagicMirror

@sdetweil

This is what I get from npm start now after running

export external_browser=firefox
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil This came after that. Its just stuck here now

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik did firefox come up? those messages are from the server side

but they were initiated by the browser side so some browser started loading the page from the server

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil Yes, it came up and is running. Everything is working except the calendar. Just stuck at loading…

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik and there should be messages on the server side

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil Strangly I didnt see any fetch messages for the calendar.

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik interesting, can you show messages after
the point your browser at message

those would be after the browser loads the web page

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil This is as far as it goes. for some reason I dont get “Create new calendarfetcher for url:”

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik weird

can you
open the developers window and find the console tab and see if there is an error

i don’t know for sure how to do that on firefox. i will check it out in the morning running this way

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil Definitely appears to be some errors in the console. Its CTRL + SHIFT + I to access it in Firefox

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik thanks will review
