SUMMARY Kontact doesn't work with iCal data from URL. It does work with downloaded file, but doesn't with URL. If I add it, Kontact add a "akonadi_ical_resource_1" line under calendars and don't show any events. Right click and "Update Calendar" and "Update Folder" changes nothing. Sometimes after a while - after many system restarts - the calendar with given display name appears as one more calendar and shows right events. But this is quite unpredictable, I couldn't find any correlation, and removing the "akonadi_ical_resource_1" calendar removes also the correct calendar from Kontact list. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. go to calendars in Kontact. 2. Right Click on calendars frame -> "add calendar" 3. Choose "iCal Calendar File" 4. Set your exported calendar's URL as filename and something as display name, press ok 5. look onto calendars list. OBSERVED RESULT Added calendar named "akonadi_ical_resource_1", without any events. EXPECTED RESULT Added calendar with name from "display name" and with all events from URL. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-60-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I tested iCal URLs from Leantime and from Nextcloud. The problem exists even on fresh installed Kubuntu. I used Backports PPA to get the latest Kontact.
Hi, Do you have a test case file about it ?. Regards

Indeed I can't see "display name" for sure. no event too. What do you means by "Kontact doesn't work with iCal data from URL. It does work with downloaded file, but doesn't with URL" ?. What is the url that you put in resource ? local ? url ?
(In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #3) > What is the url that you put in resource ? local ? url ? This is the URL to .ics file, located in the web. Actually, dynamically created on each call. I followed instructions from this old forum, where they said, it worked: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166238 I want to see events from remote calendar. I don't need it for Nextcloud, as it does support CalDAV, but for another application, which supports only iCal exports. And looks like the thing with "akonadi_ical_resource_1" is not new, as it can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/qalqf0/readding_an_ical_file_to/ and was reported here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452456
