Office 365 calendar issues

[hermpi]

@cohron I just start up my PI and yes the calendar works partially… I don’t know if the reason is the deleting of the re-announcing tasks or there was something wrong with the server Sunday night. De strange thing is that most of my tasks show a invalid date error. Only the tasks that have the “whole day” option checked are displaying correctly. I don’t know if you familiar with ICS files but I think it has to do with these line of codes:

// This works (Whole day checked) 
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170421
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170423

// This gives invalid date error 
DTSTART;TZID="(UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlijn, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Wenen":2
 0170412T080000
DTEND;TZID="(UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlijn, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Wenen":201
 70412T090000

Could you check what is set for DTSTART and DTEND in your ICS file?

Oh, yes some of my tasks had the invalid date error, only 4 or 5 tasks though. It was only occurring on appointments that had the timezone showing. Unfortunately I already fixed it by removing the (show) timezones and resaving the appointment. Sorry didnt catch that earlier. I set up a test appointment and will look at the MM when I get home. I havent picked apart the Calendar MMM but im guessing you found the same bug i had. Wont know if i recreated the error until i get him and look at MM.

Keep your “bad” ICS file for the programmers (or you) to test, recreate, and fix if you submit a bug report.

@hermpi
Well i checked my calendar and everything looked fine. I havent been able to get the invalid date to show up again (even with timezones enabled/showing). I’d say open a bug report and send them your ICS file.

should be fine really.

[hermpi]

@cohron Oke, I will do that. I just checked my own calendar again and only if I save the appointment in timezone “Coordinated Universal Time” it works. Or if I set my overall timezone to UTC… But that’s not a solution because then everything is set to that time and I’m living in the UTC+1 zone.

[hermpi]

@cohron (#*$&,. I just figured out that this only happens when you set to a time zone with multiple cities… So i can set the timezone to a same one as I live in with only one name like: “UTC+01:00 Windhoek”. I ask if this is a problem we/they need to fix in MM or that our big friend from Microsoft had to set up there ical files right. I keep you updated ;)

@hermpi said in Office 365 calendar issues:

is a problem we/they need to fix in MM

I’m going to guess MM is going to have to fix their parsing, it appears to be a well formed ics file (or at least the portion you and i looked at), I doubt we are going to get Microsoft to change.

@cohron Everything works fine now thanks to: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/pull/875

cheers!

@hermpi Curious. I dropped those changes into my mirror and it didn’t resolve the problem at all. Hrm.

[hermpi]

@bhepler Oke first off all, sorry for my late reaction I was luckily enough to have a long vacation… :) I finally finished the housing of the mirror and planning to fasten it in my bedroom today. The last time I checked (3 days ago) my office 365 calendar runs just fine. Maybe you cant make an test appointment in your agenda and DM me the Ical file so I can check how my MM response to your generated Ical file.

[bhepler]

@hermpi Will do. I’ll try to get that file to you this evening. Thanks.

Same problem here with the ordinary Outlook calendar.
[Edit] Got it working, I already updated the scripts but after deleting 2 appointments from history and rebooting it worked!!!
