Hello Since a few days, the agenda (modul 3) is not updated anymore. The inkycal.log stated some errors and i have no idea how to fix this unfortunatly:

Hi there and welcome to Inkycal. Thanks for opening this issue. As this is your first issue in this repository, please read through the contributing guidelines

HI there @GimmeMe1 . As the code of the agenda module has not been changed for quite some time now, it's safe to assume the issue lies elsewhere.

The error you are getting is related to the fact that the timezone cannot be parsed correctly. This could be either due to the iCalendar itself, some recently added event which may be related to timezones or a config issue.

Could you provide some more details to help debug this issue, for example, what timezone was set on the Raspberry Pi via raspi-config? Apart from this, the section containing the config for the agenda module with sensitive data removed would help reproduce this issue

[GimmeMe1]

Hello @aceisace Yep, a new entry might be the reason. I recently added some entries and the problem might be occur since then but i have no idea what the specific problem with these entries can be. There are some series as well.

Timezone at raspi is Zurich/Europe Current default time zone: 'Europe/Zurich' Local time is now: Tue Aug 20 22:53:51 CEST 2024. Universal Time is now: Tue Aug 20 20:53:51 UTC 2024.

Config of the module is

    {
        "position": 3,
        "name": "Agenda",
        "config": {
            "size": [
                480,
                390
            ],
            "ical_urls": "https://sharing.calendar.live.com/calendar/private/xxxxx/9>
            "ical_files": null,
            "date_format": "ddd D MMM",
            "time_format": "HH: mm",
            "padding_x": 0,
            "padding_y": 0,
            "fontsize": 16,
            "language": "de"
        }
    }
],

some entries have for no specific reason time zone +1 Sarajevo, Warschau, Zagreb. Maybe this is the problem

[GimmeMe1]

time zone +1 Sarajevo, Warschau, Zagreb seems not to be the problem...

[GimmeMe1]

the problem is the "customized time zone" entry, I don't know how and why it was set in the calendar. Since I changed all of these entries the agenda display is working fine again. Thanks

SUMMARY:Vxxxxxxx DTSTART;TZID=Customized Time Zone:20240618T080000 DTEND;TZID=Customized Time Zone:20240618T120000 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5

[aceisace]

I'm glad to hear your issue was resolved, Thomas. Yes, it seems the Customized Time Zone was indeed the issue. I'll be closing this issue as it has been resolved

[GimmeMe1]

perfect!
