[Solved] EPG suddenly 2 hours wrong

Post by styrsven » Fri Oct 03, 2014 6:36 pm

After reinstalling 2.3RC, I suddenly see EPG 2 hours wrong, i.e. programs starting 20:00 looks like they start 18:00.
Iuse the TimeForTV importer and it has served my for well over a year without problems. Now when iI look at the xml file it looks like it is a UTC time with the timezone info after, i.e. something like start="20141003180000 +0200" stop="20141003200000 +0200"

In short, it looks like the timezone info is ignored. Any tip on how to fix this would be appreciated.

No I don't think it is the source, the time in the xml-file looks standard and correct, UTC plus offset. It's just that Argus seems to have lost the offset and just displays the UTC, which here at this time of year is two hours wrong.

Sort of solved.
I switched to WebGrab+, set the timezone in the timefor.tv init file to CET, and now the times are ok again. Lets see if this fix survives leaving DST :)

After swiching to WebGrab+ and changing the timezone fur the site, the times in the xml file now looks like UTC times with a zero offset. They are displayed with a correct local time.
I now think this must be a problem with the timefor.tv site, so this forum is not the place to solve it.
