MMM-CalendarEXT: Not Showing Latest Private Google Calendar Feed

cccp402

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been searching for a way to resolve my experience, and haven’t found anything yet. The MMM-CalendarEXT instance on my magicmirror is not displaying updated events from my google calendar.

When I download and review the ics data, I’m seeing what is matching on the google calendar, however it is not what is showing when the magicmirror is running. At first I thought this was a caching issue, but I’ve reset the private calendar link in google - presuming that it would pull a new file - and it still shows old (original prior to the event update) information.

I’m probably missing something, so wanted to reach out and ask the community.

Thanks in advance…

@cccp402 the calendar must be public, as mm is not logged on as you.

Your desktop browser IS logged on as you

So, I can’t use the Secret address from google? Sorry if I wasn’t clear, that is the address I was using to get the ical file to confirm the difference between events.

Would rather not make this particular calendar public.

Thanks again

Correctly identified,
if someone puts out a code with which you can sign up as a google user, that would be great.

@cccp402
For MMM-CalendarExt(not MMM-CalendarExt2), check redrawInterval of system parts and interval of calendar parts in configuration.

@sean Great, I’ve adjusted those values, and will see if that addresses what I’m experiencing.

Is there a cache of the previously accessed ics file somewhere in the system? I am still seeing the old version of the calendar, prior to the event modifications.

@cccp402
There is no cache.
Can you share the .ics URL to examine details? My email is eouia0819@gmail.com.

@Sean Hi, something is definitely wrong with the default calendar module. It worked for me when I installed a few weeks ago but recently I did a fresh install and noticed the calendar displays "No upcoming events’ no matter ics file or url I use. Public URLS and my own ICS work using other methods and definitely have data populated but the mirror/module shows "No upcoming events’ no matter what. Actually tomorrow is presidents day and still nothing. Could you please check into this for us? Thanks.

@anthony6608 the default holiday Cal only had 2017 & 2018 holiday events.

There is a new one for 2019. Just posted earlier today in one topic
See https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/52595

Also, open the dev console

npm start dev

And look for errors in the console tab

@anthony6608
Are you talking about my module (MMM-CalendarExt) or default calendar module? I’m slightly confused.
