Calendar does not run on secondary screen

sdetweil

@BKeyport what browser are you using to connect to the MagicMirror instances?

do you have one MagicMirror folder or two?
two sep config files, so if one instance you use the MM_CONFIG_FILE env to launch the second

just trying to get detail so i can repeat this

@BKeyport if you manually refresh the page where you are expecting the calendar to display, does it?

we had/have bug where the socket send of the events from calendar module is not received at the client
see
https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/3380

manual refresh works

see this for a possible workaround

Browser is whatever node uses - same problem occurs on other sessions through chrome like browser on my Main PC (Brave)

One magic mirror folder - all configs in MM/Config just numbered.
Refresh does nothing. (Via Chrome/Brave).

Start MM using this:

export MM_CONFIG_FILE=config/config2.js
export MM_PORT=8081
export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
DISPLAY=:0 node clientonly --address mirrorserv.local --port 8081

@BKeyport ok, just fyi, node doesnt have a browser clientOnly uses electron same as full

what os, and this is 2.32, right?

can you install MMM-ViewNotifications on the second screen instance and see if the events are broadcast.
or look in the output of npm run server to see the broadcast message from the parser…

Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 19 events from https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical

I’m running two instances now and they behave as expected…

I only have 1 calendar

@sdetweil

ViewNotification doesn’t show anything…

When I load the mirror in chrome/brave I get this in console:

If the answer appears to be frank’s solution in that other thread, I don’t understand what to do or how to fix it. without knowledge of where he’s working I have no idea where to touch.

@BKeyport those look like browser side messages not server side

@BKeyport

edit MagicMirror/js/server.js

add these two lines

				allowEIO3: true,   // line 45
				pingInterval: 120000,  // server → client ping every 2 mins   //add
				pingTimeout:  120000   // wait up to 2 mins for client pong   //add

edit MagicMirror/js/socketclient.js

add these two lines

    this.socket = io(`/${this.moduleName}`, {  // line 15
                path: `${base}socket.io`,
                pingInterval: 120000,  // send pings every 2 mins     // add
                pingTimeout: 120000    // wait up to 2 mins for a pong  // add
