      Sure, I can post that. The config checker doesn’t find any issues. Any help appreciated.

    • Weather forecast only displays 'invalid date'

      Update
      This issue is solved in v2.4.1.
      https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/7548/v2-4-0-update/2

      ===Begin original post===
      This started happening after updating my MM recently and adding the motion detection module (https://github.com/alexyak/motiondetector), but not sure if either are related.

      Every time the mirror starts up (even if I use pm2 to restart, or unplug and full reboot), my weather forecast just shows the words invalid date).

      This had been working for well over a year. The only change to config I made was to add the new module. But I ran the config checker and it says I have no syntax errors.

      I can see one other person opened this as an issue after updating, but they never provided logs or anything and thus it was closed.

      https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/1292

      I’ve generated logs starting at a pm2 restart, and I see no issues flagged:

      The only editing I did was to take out the calendar URL from the posted log. Anyone else seen this or have any ideas?

    • RE: Consent loop

      Ran into this same issue. From multiple browsers.

      I had to refresh as fast as I could and get to the boxes before that darn message blocked me again. Seriously this is an impediment to returning users and needs to be looked at.

    • RE: Magic... board?

      @Sean Found a picture on their facebook that I think reveals what they’re doing:

      0_1510257008275_mui2.jpg

      another shot in action

      0_1510257031891_mui.jpg

      so I think less… fabric and more diode holes?

      But then that leaves me wondering… how is the touch part working? Apparently this company has a lot of experience with touch sensors and did some work on the Nintendo Switch.

    • Magic... board?

      Love my magic mirror, and many thanks to all the contributors and especially Michael.

      But on to the subject. I came accross this fun article:

      https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/11/9/16614112/nissha-mui-display-smart-home

      screenshot:
      0_1510249780583_features_clock.jpg

      and I thought alot of it reminded me of a magic mirror, especially those who have been trying to add touch. Especially especially the glass option. The downside is when they do bring this up for sale it’s going to be in the $1000 range.

      So… who’s tempted to make one of these with a raspi pi for less??

    • RE: Outlook.com calendar

      Ah yeah, unfortunately outlook.com has removed the ability to export calendar for some dumb reason. Seems to have happened after the server changes, and their helpfiles have not been updated.

      I fired up Outlook 2016 (the program), loaded up the account and used that to export the calendar.

    • RE: Outlook.com calendar

      Closing this. I ended up exporting to a gmail calendar, which instantly worked. My best guess is that Outlook.com is doing something different that the magic mirror code doesn’t account for. A bit of a pain to make the switch, but now it works.

    • Outlook.com calendar

      Hello all,

      I’m having trouble with my calendar. It was working beautifully for a very long time. But suddenly about a month ago it started randomly posting “no upcoming events” even when there were some.

      Sometimes a reboot would solve the issue. Other times it wouldn’t. As time has gone by it’s been harder and harder to get my calendar events to display. It’s almost like it’s looking at a wrong calendar, though I’m not sure how that’s possible.

      I saw somewhere else on the forums that switching to webcal seems to help with outlook.com calendars, but that hasn’t seem to have helped.

      Any help?

      Thanks

    • Switched to development branch, mirror stopped launching

      Just like the preview says. I switched to development branch (an issue I had was supposed to be solved in development) and since then the mirror won’t launch Pm2 start mm leads to a success message, that part seems to be working.

      Npm start leads to the following error:

      JavaSript error, unchaught exception.
      cannot file module 'express.ipfilter'
      

      I tried updating node.js at one point (because I forgot to change directory when I attempted npm start) but haven’t had any other luck otherwise. Anyone else run into this?
