Invalid DateTime strings in ical api output

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

I'm getting some odd DateTime entries that my eM Client can't parse for ical. Note the Created, DTStamp, Last-Modified times compared to the DTStart and DTEnd values. It's not just that particular pass, it's all of them.

Running on Synology with the native package, date is fine on the Syno. Submitted a troubleshooting run under b69a61c3-0500-4b1e-bfcf-47b02718371e.

I’ll have to look into this. For what it’s worth, we’re using a library to generate this, we’re not doing it by hand.

#3

I'm assuming you were able to duplicate the results on your end? I've tried a full Delete and Recreate Database without any improvement and then waiting a day and I see the same malformed dates. I'll try a Re-Download guide and see if that shakes anything loose.

I see the library identifier is arran4/golang ICS Library? Is this the repo GitHub - arran4/golang-ical: A ICS / ICal parser and serialiser for Golang.?

#4

This looks appropriate compared to the spec?

Edit: OH I SEE NOW

#5

Fixed in the latest pre-release:
