Default Calendar not Displaying Holidays

@lavolp3 Yes that is correct sir

swvalenti

@lavolp3 can I just add my google calendar and if so how?

@swvalenti
of course you can and it’s described several times in this forum

go to your google calendar.
IN the left region, click on the three dots of your calendar of choice and click options.
Move down to your private or public ical format and include it in the config as calendar.
I’m currently not sure if both private and/or public ical format work.

  calendars: [
                {
                    symbol: "calendar",
                    url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/xxxxxxxxxxx/basic.ics"
                },

@swvalenti Sorry Iw as too fast and too occupied. It was in the github repository in the issues (and the ones already solved

Using the default URL (“webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics”) only gets you an ics for >2017-2018 holidays, so nothing shows now. You can verify this by downloading it and opening it in a calendar app.

Trying using the new URL “https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics” in your config file and >that should get your MagicMirror to show the holidays in 2019.
