      @sdetweil I’m in the UK. Since it’s British summer time I don’t know if that means I’m UTC+1 or something else… GMT, BST… Stupid changing clocks!

        @WallysWellies this fix sets the rrule:until to start of day+1 day for fullday events (tested in LA, Chicago, London and Sydney timezones)

        add three lines
        modules/default/calendarcalendarfetcherutils.js

        					event.start = rule.options.dtstart;  // old code line 294
                                                // insert these three lines
        					if((rule.options.until != undefined) && CalendarFetcherUtils.isFullDayEvent(event)){
        						Log.debug("fixup rrule until")
        						rule.options.until = new Date(new Date(moment(rule.options.until).startOf("day").add(1,"day")).getTime())
        					}
        
        					Log.debug("fix rrule start=", rule.options.dtstart); // old code line 301

              @WallysWellies you will need to use my upgrade script and reply no to keeping the changed files
              see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

              note upgrade is a two part process
              test, do nothing (highlight exposed files, if any)
              do upgrade

                      Hi Sam,

                      I’m afraid this issue has reoccurred on an event that is not full day but instead is supposed to be the last in a series. I believe it’s the same issue though where the timezone / BST is causing the problem.

                      Sample ICS data below:

                      BEGIN:VCALENDAR
                      METHOD:PUBLISH
                      PRODID:Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
                      VERSION:2.0
                      X-WR-CALNAME:Test Calendar
                      BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
                      TZID:GMT Standard Time
                      BEGIN:STANDARD
                      DTSTART:16010101T020000
                      TZOFFSETFROM:+0100
                      TZOFFSETTO:+0000
                      RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=10
                      END:STANDARD
                      BEGIN:DAYLIGHT
                      DTSTART:16010101T010000
                      TZOFFSETFROM:+0000
                      TZOFFSETTO:+0100
                      RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=3
                      END:DAYLIGHT
                      END:VTIMEZONE
                      BEGIN:VEVENT
                      RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20250630T173000Z;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO;WKST=MO

                      X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1
                      X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INSTTYPE:1

                      X-MICROSOFT-ISRESPONSEREQUESTED:FALSE
                      END:VEVENT
                      END:VCALENDAR
                      

                      I’ve stripped out most of the content other than the event in question and the timezone info.

                      You’ll see that the DTSTART and DTEND data shows the correct start and end time but the RRULE shows the UNTIL as an hour before the event so the event does not show on the MM calendar module.

                      The event in Outlook shows the series being every Monday until 1st July.

                      I’m not sure if this “bug” is a problem with Outlook or MagicMirror.

                      Happy to start a new thread, or log a bug on GitHub if either of those is preferrable.
