EPG 1 hour ahead

[gonzo90017]

I setup all and mapped all my channels (xmltv). But for some reason the guide seems to be 1 hour ahead. As you can see from the screenshot the time is set correctly.

There is no known issues with this. Given it's working for everyone else, I'm leaning towards is just being a configuration setting on your end. Make sure you've got your PC timezone set correctly, and set to auto adjust for daylight savings. If you need to change any of these things, make sure you do an 'empty epg' followed by 'update epg'.

If its not that, then check your xmltv grabber is generating the correct times in it's xmltv files.

PC time is set correctly and daylight savings time is checked.
Emptied and Updated EPG but issue is still present.
I just tried the same tvguide.xml with Mediaportal and EPG time displays correctly.

Is there anything else I should check?

NextPVR just askes Windows to conversion the xmltv UTC times to local times. It sounds like this is going wrong, so it's got to either be your timezone settings, or the content in your xmltv file. NextPVR doesn't try to calculate the local time itself - this is taken care of by Windows.

If it were a NextPVR problem, I'm sure we'd be seeing other reports. We've got at least a couple of thousand users that use xmltv without this problem.

Anything special about your setup or location? Are you in a state that doesn't have daylight savings? What OS are you running?

Seems like I might have passed through NTSC when I was in California. Is your PC clock set for Pacific Time?

Did you do a clean install of NextPVR 3.1.1 or did you update from an earlier version?

[Edit] All states are on standard time until March anyway.

Not many people here in North America likely use WebGrabPlus but I expect a configuration issue with it. ATSC and KTLA indicates PST too me, yet all your times show just a 7 hour offset

Maybe try mc2xml. That seems to be the most common North American "free" xmltv epg source.

If you use mc2xml you have to pick your cable provider and set the correct time zone as well or you will have a mismatch again, mc2xml works very well in the US even you may get a lot of channels you may not use or pay for. But that is what's great about NextPVR you can filter them out. :-)

I switched from using mc2xml to WebgrabPlus+ some months ago. I found that Webgrab's epg is a lot more accurate especially when it comes to genres. With mc2xml genres are usually not even present for most movies and especially for sports like soccer.

Anyways I just had one channel grab epg info from an xml created by mc2xml and the correct programming appears. So it is indeed a problem with the xml file created by Webgrab. The weird thing is that the epg displays correctly in MediaPortal. I'll have a look at the documentation for WebGrab to see if there is a solution.

Glad you figured it out even you don't normally use mc2xml it is a good trouble shooting tool for those that don't normally use it. I've been very happy with mc2xml since I pull info using imageGrabLite for my recordings.

Moving my clients to XBMC and using nextpvr with XBMC has been the best of both worlds. A great pvr backend and XBMC clients as how well it scrapes for this info you cannot beat this combo.
