ASCII Codec Issue #18

Closed ooglyboogly closed 1 year ago

ooglyboogly commented 1 year ago

When running the application on my Pi Zero WH, I am getting the below error in regards to Codec. I tried this on 3 separate Google Accounts, including one with an empty calendar, to ensure it was not some Event with bad characters (although it should be able to test for that ideally...).

Any idea what could be causing this, or a way to ensure proper encode happens? Obviously it happens after the time sync, but its happening before any rendering is done as my eink is still blank.

Other than using my own timezone in the config file and my own pickle file, I have not altered any code from the repo up till now.

For some reason it seems my language encoding is not working as expected, adding this to my code in gcal.py fixed it: creds = pickle.load(token,encoding='latin1')
