@sdetweil said: @Scruffy I strongly recommend using some backup/restore mechanism, please see my backup/restore scripts for one approach. they also support versioning, so you can tell one set of changes from another and can go back or forward… and move between systems. too… https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore.git and I also support the install/upgrade scripts, mentioned in the MM doc, Alternative install section OK perfect! I’ll run through this process next time this occurs. Thanks!

Hello together I have noticed that the excludedEvents function with the “until” parameter no longer works. The last time I used the function was version 18.3.24, when everything worked. While searching for the error, I came across this article https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19767/2.32.0-calendar-module-limitdays-and-excludedevents-stopped-working?page=1 or this issue https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/3841. How was the error found (Reproducible) I want to hide a recurring event until X days before it starts. In the test case, the event is called “DailyTask”. This repeats every 2 days. I use the configuration excludedEvents: [{filterBy: 'DailyTask', until: '2 days'}] The appointments are displayed unchanged on the MM. I then only used the excludedEvents: [{filterBy: 'DailyTask''}] command. Now no events with the name “DailyTask” are displayed. Which leads me to conclude that the “until” parameter no longer works. it does not matter whether days, weeks or months are used Current Config for Calendar: { module: "calendar", header: "Kalender", position: "bottom_left", config: { excludedEvents: [{filterBy: 'DailyTask', until: '2 days'}], fade: true, fadePoint: 0.75, // Possible values: 0 (top of the list) - 1 (bottom of list) tableClass: "medium", // Possible values: xsmall, small, medium, large, xlarge. Default value: small. maximumEntries: 18, // default 10 showLocation: true, maxTitleLength: 40, // values 10-50 maxLocationTitleLength: 20, // values 10-50 // hidePrivate: false, coloredText: true, coloredSymbol: true, coloredBackground: true, calendars: [ { // Test-Kalender fetchInterval: 300000, // 5 min * 12 = 1h symbol: "calendar-plus", color: "#FFFFFF", // Dunkleres Grün #1ea30f etwas helleres Grün #43ff64d9 symbolClassName: "fa-regular fa-", bgColor: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02)", name: "Test-Kalender", url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/******************.ics" } ] } MM was reinstalled a few days ago. A Raspberry Pi 3B+ is used Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux13 (trixie) Kernel: Linux 6.12.47+rpt-rpi-v8 Architecture: arm64 MM version: v2.33.0 i use pm2 All modules with the exception of the calendar module were deactivated for the test. my solution I think I have found the problem in the calendarfetcherutils.js file. I have the following line 163: let { excluded, eventFilterUntil } = this.shouldEventBeExcluded(config, title); replaced with this code: let { excluded, until: eventFilterUntil } = this.shouldEventBeExcluded(config, title); Subsequent tests were positive for me, but I cannot judge whether the customisation has any further effects. Unfortunately I’m not a programmer, just a “nerd” =) can someone verify this and possibly open a bug? Best regards Jacky

@Keithj edit MMM-Traffic.js change these lines (79/80) self.errorMessage = payload.error.message; self.errorDescription = payload.error.description; to self.errorMessage = e.message; self.errorDescription = e.description; and restart MM let me know…

@ewingfox see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/122915

@sdetweil ok, that makes sense, caching might be an issue!

@ankonaskiff17 I dont use vnc, only ssh And dont have issues w locale

@CaptainKen no. You need to install node 22.18.0 You installed node 20

@MikeTheYeti – Yes, I recall having the same or similar issues way back when… I liked the idea of special effects for holidays, birthdays, scheduled vacation trips, etc - but couldn’t get it to work properly. I eventually just gave up.

@Richard238 said in Calendar failed to load - check the logs: about a minute ago If perhaps it could show the nature of the error? what does that mean? we requested the ics data from the calendar provider using the URL you provided in the config and the request failed, timeout… we don’t know why or anything more and we gave you all that in the messages we produced. And the route to the logs, because most of us have to look up where they are! ;-) you are LOOKING at the logs… so you must have found the route ---- as always — the logs IS the output of the MM start command, npm start node --run start npm runs server node --run server whatever you used now, you can do it manually in some terminal window OR you can code it into the system startup OR you can use a pgm that does that FOR you, aka pm2 WHERE that data is stored is up to that implementation as I do the install script, I use pm2, as it insulates me from the OS details… my script last lines is see the help echo please see the help for the pm2 command, pm2 --help echo pm2 status will show the running apps, and their runtime status SO… one could/should detect that the command is pm2 and so do pm2 --help and one core learning thing on linux ALL terminal commands , by agreed convention, provide a general help using the parameter --help so pm2 --help will tell you all the things it can do SOME commands ALSO provide a manual page (pm2 does not) which can be viewed with the man command man ls will show you the detailed help for the ls command Yes, there is a LOT to learn here…

@RonR ctrl-+. Should zoom in

@Mr.Sponti do you have the gpu hardware enabled? If not then I think electron tries to emulate it, probably w the vlc content

thanks ok

@aksuited there is a user who did this, but didn’t publish his module update He did it with a modified calendarext3 as I recall I searched but didn’t find it

@kent right, that module provides buttons that show/hide A module

Ok, my fault, thanks a lot!

@Mr.Sponti yep errors, too much ram. Etc What is this running in?

Since the google assistant has been replaced by Gemini I think it would be a nice addition to the MM. Especially because it could connect to the google home and complete smart tasks via voice command.

@Y_Garden That pi zero will run Pi-Hole pretty well on diet pi 32 bit…

@xylyn the caldav module is getting g the data from the server To create the iCal file the MagicMirror calendar module needs I don’t know how the caldav module works at that level

Yes, I attempted installed to install the ‘stable’ version and it did not automatically select the gateway port number. I will attempt to install the ‘beta’ version tonight. Thanks for the help. BTW, I ran Wireshark last night and found the port number, at least for the GW3000, it is 53374. I would never have guessed it.
