@sdetweil That is great to know. My docker container is setup to pull the latest, but it looks like my MM is still loading version 2.28.

I’ll have to make sure it is actually updating and or pulling the latest version in.

Thanks for your reply!

I know that there have been several different threads about this over the years, but I have been unable to find something that describes the current state of displaying recurring events correctly.

The Issue:
Some recurring events (those later in the day) end up being displayed incorrectly. A calendar item that was started on January 16th at 9pm (Thursday) will also display on January 17th at 9pm (Friday) and then repeat on Friday’s going forward.

I have looked at several posts, including the following that recommended changing the node ics calendar version:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18388/default-calendar-module-not-showing-some-recurring-events

Is this still the preferred method of fixing this, or have other fixes been discussed?

Setup:
I currently am running MagicMirror using a docker image ( thanks to khassel at https://khassel.gitlab.io/magicmirror/) on a Synology NAS so that I can host it on my network.

@sdetweil Thanks for the clarification there. I run my MagicMirror on a Synology NAS, and it looks like the editor I am using might be adding the wrong quote characters or something that causes the json validation to fail for some reason.

I was able to get this working by copying the initial date line that worked. For some reason typing them out was causing the file to not validate and therefore not get loaded.

Much appreciated.

I recently started setting up my first MagicMirror and moved my compliments to an external compliments.json file. In doing so, I found that it works only if I remove any of the date specific messages that I had specified. For example:

...
],
    "evening": [
        "Ready for bed?"
    ],
    "....-12-24": ["It's a holiday!"]
}

When a file with these date specific compliments is included, the file doesn’t load and the module defaults to the standard list of compliments.

In looking around online I found some instances where people seemed to indicate that it was possible, but the vast majority of examples don’t mention doing this.

Is what I am attempting possible?
