Johan Westerlaken *Checking in on this one.
I'm not particularly interested in displaying a calender type thing, but more to be used in the RSS-kinda-way.Worked with several narrowcasting products before (like Spinetix) and especially that product had a on-board solution of displaying calender items.

JRB Technical I have done some similar work for people in the past with other calendars, just not Outlook.
It should be possible to take the Shared ICS and do this.
In the case of what I have done before as a service, I create a series of images for the next few days worth of events, and then output those as a Media RSS Feed for that zone of the player.

Sean Cotter Looking to do something similar. With WWW-based calendars you can probably do it several ways. We use Office365 which DOES have the option for public sharing of calendars (not just an ICS share, but a living published calendar). Problem for us is that we have it universally disabled to keep people from unknowningly sharing out their info. Trying to figure out a way to bring in 'today's events' type thing.
