daylight savings time...

Jim_ · 2006-10-29, 10:13 PM

Worked just fine on my system. (zap2it / xmltv)
No overlaps before the time change, all the listings were in the proper order.
Today, when I scroll back to when the time changed, the pre-time-change 2AM listings are overlapped with the pre-time-change 1AM listings, exactly as they should be.

In the spring, a one-hour program is listed as a 2-hour program if it airs during the time change. Once again, perfectly normal.

My zap2it listings also worked flawlessly with daylight savings so no problems here.

To be honest, I wouldnt be surprised if you have problems with shows that start at precisely the time the daylight savings switch occurs (and lasts one hour, ie starts at 2am finishes an hour later at 2am), but shows that span this period, or are after or before the switch should fine, since they were already translated into local time at the time they were imported.

There is no adjustments made to times in the database when this occurs, so if you looked at your listings in the TV guide a few days before the switch, listings before and after the switch time should already have been pre-adjusted for daylight savings.

My system went down early yesterday so today I had to reformat and reinstall. I downloaded 8 days of EPG data from ZapToIt. Today's listings are ok but the other seven days are early by three hours.

BTW, I have three tuners so I downloaded three times. Three times windershins?

Wrong! I didn't set the OS time zone.
