I'm working on my first Rainmeter skin after being a user for a few years. I want a widget that displays todays events from my calendar. I am using Python to connect to google calendar, I made a project with the Google Developer Console and got the permissions (maybe not the right one, I think I do, but maybe worth looking into).
Right now the skin is a blank box, when I update Text under EventMeter it updates correctly to reflect what I've hardcoded in, but otherwise I can't even get anything in the Log..
The other night I made a test event in my calendar and that was picked up, but weirdly enough that was the only event it picked up the next day as well (talking about the same event from the day before!)
Here's my .ini:
