Re: Default Calendar
How would I go about using a local ICS file for example birthdays and holidays since I can get ICS files downloaded and would only need to move to the correct folder. Just a thought to take out all the middle men and lighten the load on my wireless internet connection…

@sdetweil
Please expand on the new URL. I went to my google account and regenerated a new private url but not sure how to do that on a public url like the holidays one.
Is there a way to put in the username and new password like in gmail that I am overlooking?

I have not changed anything, no upgrades ect.
This is the public Holiday calendar I use. url: “https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics”,
I am getting the nothing to show message.
My private calendar which gets me a ics file download when I paste it in a browser is not showing up either. I ssh into and vnc this pi4 8gb. The only thing that changed was I had a power supply failing (causing the lightning bolt to show up.) So I replaced that with a new 3.5 amp power supply.
Everthing was fine for a couple days and then all the sudden no more calendars. Is this to do with Google forcing 2 stage authentication on everyone? I had to get a special password for my gmail to show up. Wondering if this is the same type issue? If so how do I put in a username and password in my config.js for the calendars? Dad blasted Google needs to leave well enough alone… :angry_face:

@sdetweil
It only runs a patched version of stretch right now. I am able to do the project I was wanting to do with it… at $55 it is a little pricey and a LOT more work to get running debian, but it is doing the job. Finally found a wireless adapter for the Libre and it is rock steady… Only thing I do not like is I can not seem to get it to boot from a usb drive has to be from sd card…
Fun little learning experience…

@lxne
So, is that going to be the API for Dark Sky to run on in 2023?

@sdetweil
Will MM run on Libre Computer Board AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) 2GB 64-bit Mini Computer they are only $55 on amazon. I think they will run Debian pretty easily.
I am going to try a few other projects with it that I have been wanting to do on a RPi, but they are pretty pricey right now. I thought this was worth a try. If it doesn’t work out, I will try a few of the projects on the support forum they have.

@sdetweil said in Can MagicMirror run on other similarily priced hardware?:

gallium

That looks like a very good option while the Raspberry Pi are so expensive.
I just bought a refurbed chrome book that is in the list supported by gallium.
Going to give gallium a try when it arrives.
Do you know if I could just load debian on the chrome book?
I want to try a few different programs and they all require Debian or Ubuntu…

@sdetweil Does your script work on windows 10 or chrome book???

Thank you all for information. I was upset. I really like the way my Darksky weather module looks on my screen. I guess in march next year I will think about having to change over to something else. Maybe by then someone will make it so the Darksky module works with another weather api…

When will Darksky fail to work anymore.
I have it running now and it works fine.
What am I missing?

@Ray
It was caused by google / gmail forcing 2 step verification down our throats .
The one time use app passwords 16 digit code is a great work around at least.
There are lots of instructions out there on how to use it.

@xadamxk

Thank you for the information, I am still having issues with the list going off the screen. I am trying different areas on the screen to see if that makes a differance.

@xadamxk
You gonna fix this problem for me.? I have done a little research on it and it is way above my pay grade…

@xadamxk
Please do fork and fix it for me

@sdetweil
Thanks I will look into it when i get time. I have carousel working pretty well now. 33 out of the 40 I had working on MM before update to 2.18, so I am plenty happy…

@thephantom_nl
I changed over to omxplayer and solved my problems with it resizing on restart.
I can not find the bookmark for how to install omxplayer. Must have not saved it.
Google it that is what I did…

@sdetweil said in [MMM-GmailFeed] - Simple Gmail unread messages list/notification:

@plainbroke module install instructions

git clone https://github.com/shaneapowell/MMM-GmailFeed.git
cd MMM-GmailFeed
npm install

the GitHub page is the README.MD file

also, if the module has a package.json you need to npm install ( in the new module folder), even if they don’t say so

I did all the npm install and it still did not work until I did the “npm install request” in the MagicMirror/modules folder, that alone fixed almost all my install issues… Could hardly believe something so simple fixed so much… And yes I have been running npm install in all my modules folders just to be safe. That pm2 restart mm && pm2 log lines=50 ( i think that is correct) really made life easier… Thanks to all whom helped with my issue…

@fantasmic78
This is what 2 instances of calendar look like in my carousel setup.

is that what you are trying to do?

@sdetweil
Thanks for looking I was afraid of that. I will put a request in for a hopeful change by the maker…
