@max Synchronizing calendars in both directions is a very complex task, and it takes more than just downloading and uploading a single .ics file per calendar. If you have a look at CalDAV and which problems it solves, you will see what the problems are. You will also need a hierarchy: just think about the case that one .ics file contains a certain event, and the other doesn’t. So, does it mean that it has been deleted by the user and should be deleted from the one .ics file, too, or has it just been added and should be added to the other .ics file?
Wrong time in calendar
-
Hi,
I’m using Ragic DB. There is an option to export calendar.
It creates a URL. In OSX, I import this URL and it works fine. Correct date and time (Europe / Brussels timezone) in iCal.
However, when I use the same URL with ICSdroid, I get the appointment excactely 1 hour too late in my Calendar on my android phone (using google calendar to view).
eg: appointment from 10:00 - 12:00 will be 11:00 - 13:00 through ICSdroid.
Please advise…
Thanks.

Sounds like an invalid
VTIMEZONE
definition in your iCal. Have you checked it? -
In iCal, date and hour are correct.
The wrong hour is with ICSdroid on Android phone, which I view through Google Calendar.
All the other ‘native’ Google Calendars display correct hours.
Any ideas?
Maybe I can send the calendar link through a private message?
Thanks -
@Rik said in Wrong time in calendar:

Any ideas?Yes, many clients (incorrectly) ignore the
VTIMEZONE
definition and just go by the timezone name.Maybe I can send the calendar link through a private message?
Please send it to play@bitfire.at

Thanks for the ICS file over email. Your file contains this timezone definition:
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Brussels BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:19671029T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE
This definition is wrong and it doesn’t contain a DST definition. So, ICSdroid is behaving correctly, while the other clients just ignore the
VTIMEZONE
. Please fix your iCalendar file (or contact support of the server which has generated it) and report this bug to the other clients. -
Thanks for your help, I emailed the developer of Ragic DB, I put you in CC.

As we have heard, the problem has been solved on the server side by modifying the VTIMEZONE definitions.
