Hello. I have been having issues with my EPG being incorrect. I have seen multiple solutions but some of them don't sound like good ideas, like modifying ini's.
Sky UK site shows this start time...
20:00
My guide.xml shows...
20210416190000 +0100
Other channels are correct though. Here is BBC Brit Norway
20210416210000 +0200
The show matches start time with 20:00 UK time. (So that is (21:00-200)+100?)
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with DST? It seems strange that some are correct and others are not.
I really don't want to start messing around with ini's, mainly because I have a script that checks for updates before running grabs, so any changes wouldn't stick.
Can anyone advise me please?
EDIT: Is it possible some sites are adjusting the times for my timezone?
tv.wp.pl for example, shows correct times (for me in BST) when I visit inside a web browser.
just the opposite.
your epg software should adjust the time to your local time regardless of what time offeset epg data has.
what time offset the epg data is in shouldnt matter.
what u need figure out is if the epg or the stream is wrong and i have seen providers delay(timeshift) it to avoind buffering.
btw it has happened where a ini has a wrong timeoffset
i assume ur using multiple
so i dont think that the case here.
as some channel would be correct in epg.
I'm using sat, so straight from the source.
Like I said in my edit, some sites are adjusting the schedules for my time zone, not the time zone of the country of origin (the one listed in the ini). I wonder if this is the route of the issues?
so what timezone sat epg use?
there alot factors to consider.
paste a few epg data(not alot)
and ini u using.
it cud be simply ini set to wrongtimezone...it happens
or it cud be more complex.
The EPG is not linked to sat time. The xmltv time is adjusted to local time... As far as I can tell.
This site is a good example of what I am talking about...
https://tv.wp.pl/
If you visit it will show your local time and the schedules are in your local time. But the ini is set to Europe/Warsaw
and whats ur timezone?
utc +/- xxxx
if its off that many hrs its incorrect then.
so change it(never reccommded unless u understand it)
poland right now utc +0200 i think,i dont keep track who does and doesnt obsever dst for europe.
it show your local time as it gets ur local time from webbrowser when i visit and adjust it.
it dont mean the actual data is in same format.
checked file i have and didnt test it as i not too much involved lately but i have timezone=UTC on site {xxx} line
cud explain ur prob.
so imho thats ur issue.
site {url=tv.wp.pl|timezone=Europe/Warsaw|maxdays=7.1|cultureinfo=pl-PL|charset=utf-8|titlematchfactor=60|allowlastdayoverflow}
This is from the git. Unedited.
change to timezone=UTC
and i sure u be good
Maybe that would work. But editing ini is bad? If there is problem, shouldn't git siteini be updated?
That site show programme starts at 22:40, xml shows start="20210416214000 +0200", software show 20:40
It seems software is working. My time zone now with DST is UTC+1
ur all good then.well mention to matt8861 to change timezone setting in ini.
thanks.
OK so it is ini problem. I wonder why no one else mentions it? I thought I had problem my side. There are many sites that are wrong for me. Tomorrow I will check more and make a list, now I know my software is working properly.
so for u in epg it shows as 19:40?
just to make sure
no it is 20:40
there 100's ini.
we cannot check every one daily,just not possible.
we look when someone aske like urself.
sorry my mistake.i still get confused caculating times yet to this day as it can be very confusing.
ur right.
no no that's fine. I just assumed it was my mistake.
all good,we got it figured out and fixed.
Thanks. I have forked the repo and I am going to do pull requests where I fix any incorrect timezones as I find them.
