Issue using external calendars

Post by PACarlier »

Windows 10 - TB 45.8.0 - Lightning 4.7.8 - GDATA_Provider 3.1

Hello
Some external calendars are correctly synchronised et show up as wanted
for instance
-https://www.captaintrain.com/calendars/ ... peofag.ics
-https://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/privat ... tripit.ics

Other do not show up at all but do not show an error as well
for instance
-https://www.airbnb.fr/calendar/ical/162 ... a1dd96744d
-http://www.upconcert.fr/export/ical.htm ... D%3FJNMKHD
-googleapi://pAc@monCIO.com/?calendar=uib74r19j8hto6iku4314od1l0lbnoun%40import.calendar.google.com

Though I assume that they are correct because widely known and also because they show up normally on my android phone.

I've tried several format and options, without any success.

Help would be greatly appreciated

I've tried with a most recent version and the first calendar works fine for me; there are a lot of events with the title "Not available" but this shouldn't be a Lightning problem.
The second has a pair of not standard characters in the line number 83 inside the Description field of an event (I've opened it with a text editor after downloaded it as .ics file). Deleting those characters and importing the calendar (as a local one) works fine. This is obviously a Lightning's parser bug because it shouldn't stop synchronization even if there are wrong characters in particular inside a field like Description.
About the third calendar I can't say nothing because probably (if the link is right) it needs the Provider for Google Calendar that I don't have at the moment.
