Programming Guide Off an hour

[zehd]

I thought I read this somewhere but can't tell where..

Using 1.0.8, Zap2it (I know it's dying) I-XMLTV

My programming guide is off an hour. I can fix it by turning my system clock back an hour...

I thought I would add that I haven't been plying with the new grabbers yet. Haven't changed anything but Installed 1.0.8. Should also say that it only started today. 1.0.8 has been working great

I've not seen any other reports, and its no where near daylight savings transition, so I'm guessing either zap2it is supplying duff data, or you've got your PC time or timezone info set incorrectly, or I-XMLTV is setting the timezone incorrectly.

I've checked it a couple of times already, but I'll do it again. I suspect it might be Zap2it...

Hi zehd,
Like sub, the only thing I can think of is the automatic time change and time zone setting, unless zap2it is having problems.
If nothing else has changed and its not a automatic time change thing, there is a little known feature in I-xmltv that will shift the listing times by a specified amount.

Check your UpdateEPG.bat to see if it has this section.
It’s been a very long time since I’ve used it, but I believe you just enable the feature by setting "SET ShiftListings=1" and choose the "SET Offset=-0500" you want. The example would shift the listings -5 hours.
The default file for the shifted output is tv.xml but you can change that to TVGuide.xml if you want.

UpdateEPG.bat

Code:

REM *** Organize channels & Shift Listing times. (Not used with GBPVR)***
SET OrganizeChannels=0
[B]SET ShiftListings=0[/B]
[B]SET Offset=-0500[/B]
[B]SET ShiftedFile=TV.XML[/B]

PS, Good luck with the move, I bet Australia will be a blast!

My tv guide didn't seem to be off an hour (the arrow marker was showing the correct time / program) but when I used quick record, it told me it was recording a program from 1 hour earlier, not sure if it's related.

I deleted my capture source & recreated as I was also having some issues with 2 channels overlapping (my guide data has 2 listings for TV2, one of which is not TV2)

I'll see if I have any logs from the recording when I get home.

Thank's Jim_. It makes the most sense to adjust it in the UpdateEPG.bat...

Have you already selected -0500 for me being in MDT? If so thanks...

Another few weeks and I won't have to worry about the Canada EPG kludge...

Just checked, and it looks like you were using the defaults in your description.

So if +0000 is Universal, then should I shift it to -0100 ?

Yes, -0100 should be what you want, it would shift the listings one hour earlier in the guide.

While I was playing I went into my Zap2it account. I didn't change anything but I did click Update. Don't know what that did, but now the listings are correct
