Version 2.30.0 Calendar fix for clipping broadcast events

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx I don’t know… I suggested trying shorter (quick) to prove the cals arrived…

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil I’m confused then…i was just using the values you provided. Do I need to go back to my refresh of 1.75min? Do I keep the fetch value at 5000?

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx dang forum… they removed the * I fixed the post

3*60*100
3 minutes, * 60 seconds * 1000 ms

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil I put the refresh interval back down to 100500, and the calendar refreshed. The 3rd calendar showed back up, but they’re all displaying at 5AM and going into the following day even though everything is an “all day” event in my Google calendar. It looks the same as the screenshot I shared earlier.

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx sounds like your system timezone is incorrect
everything is based off the timezone

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil how do I change the timezone in MM? This issue only came up once I did the fix clipping commands on this thread. And what about all the calendars that aren’t showing?

I also just noticed my weather module stopped working too.

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx timezone, from desktop, click the calendar top right
change timezone under calendar

i don’t know in ext3 cals, not my module… but I use multi cals with it every day and don’t see this

ext3 is done all in browser
so maybe open the developer window (ctrl-shift-i) and select the console tab
and out a unique part of the module name in the filter field, ext3 for this

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil my raspberry pi desktop has the correct timezone, my Google calendars are all set right, and the clock module is showing the right time. Would ext3 have a different time zone set?

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx
i do not know

for debug purposes

edit config.js and add

,"DEBUG"

to the logLevel parms at the top

stop (if using pm2, pm2 stop all)

and MANUALLY start MM like this

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

wait til some time, and then ctrl-c on the command prompt where u did the manual start

edit the config.js back to remove the debug parm

the file will be large with all the calendars being processed

you can’t upload that here, and I would normally ask to email it to me.
I don’t know if email will take that large a file… you can try… my same userid as here at gmail

because the FULL urls of the calendars are shown in the log, I don’t want that posted in clear text anywhere…

I suggest uploading somewhere and emailing or direct message me the url

I did extensive work on the calendar to fix these problems on this release.
so I am very interested in the problem

you can look thru the file, its just text and you will see the timezone reported as it processes calendar events.

@angeliKITTYx on weather see this

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil so I decided to do a clean install of my MM, and the timezone thing fixed itself. However, it’s still not displaying all of my calendars. Two show up immediately, one shows up after the refreshinterval, and the rest don’t show up at all. I tried re-entering all of the private ical URLs, but those didn’t change anything. The log still shows it’s pulling x events from each URL, but they’re not displaying. Did you still want me to email you the logs?

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx no you fixed the event date problem

so another test is to add a position to the default cal module and see if you see the events there

you did npm install in the ext3 module folder right?
he has a sub module that needs to be installed

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx and another question. how did you upgrade?

you on pi or windows or?

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil It’s on pi.

I used these instructions, and I also did the “Not Working?” section.

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx no, i meant upgrade MagicMirror

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil I deleted it off my Pi and then followed the Manual Install. Then I reinstalled all of my modules. It was a fresh install - I didn’t upgrade it.

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx i meant before, when you had the troubles

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil I used the command on the MM documents page

git pull && npm run install-mm

But I always had to remove the package-lock.json and package.json too

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx ok… I wish more would use my upgrade script…
it fixes problems you all report as we go along…
