MeetingBar: Bug: Incorrect time to next meeting showing

App version 3.0.0 MacOS version 11.1 Big Sur

This is going to be a pretty useless bug report but I want to report it anyway to give you some awareness of it.

I noticed today that the countdown timer showing in the menu bar next to the meeting had an incorrect time. It was frozen on in 10 minutes when the meeting actually started in 1 minute’s time.

I’m not sure how to reproduce this, but I fixed it by quitting and restarting the MeetingBar app.

My mac was working a bit hard (the fans were spinning loudly) so maybe higher CPU load has something to do with it?

Sorry I can’t give any more information 😕

I have made some changes regarding the scheduling with the timer implementation. I hope, this will finally solve the issue for all.

I have noticed this also during the last time and also with version 2.0.5! Currently I have no idea how to fix this…

Also experiencing this issue after updating from v2 to v3.

Am running it now - will report results.

Sorry, @nevadascout, @defrex. 3.2.2 was only a quick release to fix MeetingBar crashing. But I’m already preparing a new major release!

We could try to wrap the update code in the activityhandler into DispatchQueue.main.async which means to run the update in the Main Thread.

I thought about that, too, @jgoldhammer. Is that what you mean? https://github.com/leits/MeetingBar/commit/eae120b11179d0cee651c8fe76cb10d86607c59e

@leits Very nice guess! No, it didn’t. After moving on Big Sur recently, the session must have been revoked. And because I’m only using the Calendar App for MeetingBar (browser tabs are my go to), I didn’t see the alert…
