Calendar showing "in X day" wrongly

tajno

Thanks for your explanation.

You talk alot of birthdays, may it be possible that the person lives in another timezone? And so facebook - somehow - get a mess, like its more than 24 hours for them but less than, like 48 or 36 for us? At least facebook looks about “where you are” about a birthday., not what time it is over there…?

Im just curious because my calendars does not provide any “tomorrow” - only a “today”. The rest is showed like “in 2 days” For Birthdays I use an own hosted calendar on my webspace because I had to many alerts provided by facebook - so I checked an old photo and there I have also those values “Tomorrow” and so on… Maybe I try the event calendar and looks what happens at my mirror. Wunderlist provides also a “Tomorrow”, as it shown in the app. Facebook shows thoes values also on theyr page.

Very strange… Sorry that I can’t help you so far.

I have almost no event/birthday that isn’t in my own timezone (CET). There is a birthday happening in about 50 minutes (when it’ll be 15th november) and it says tomorrow. I will keep an eye on the event on nov 19th how that’s presented

Here is a screenshot from my mirror earlier tonight (Monday at 21:47) that shows two activities in 2 and 3 days:

They are both in the same Exchange calendar and on the same day (Thursday) as you can see here:

If this isn’t a bug, then I don’t know.

Yes, I know that the culprit is probably Moments.js, but …

Btw, the “correct” answere, in my eyes, is three days, not two.

Clock just turned to the 15th november here and my friends birthday is “today”, calendar is still saying tomorrow.

@creepwood Did you try to restart mirror or manually refresh? I guess updates only happen on the interval you’ve configured…(?)

That’s almost what I posted in “Bug Hunt” (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/915/today-on-november-1st-the-calendar-labels-a-birthday-on-october-31st-as-two-days-ago) a while ago.

It might be mathematically right, but intuitively it’s wrong.
I have a meeting on Saturday and one on Sunday, the one on Saturday is “in 4 days”, the one on Sunday is “in 6 days”.
That’s irritating.

But your problem, @creepwood, might be different. Please check the date/time of your raspi. ;)

@Cato yeah I was a little bit too quick there. it’s now changed to “today”.

@Matthes0815 Oh the time on the hardware is correct, otherwise the clock wouldn’t have shown right.
