Schedules Direct EGP Incorrectly populating

[Raife]

Hi everyone - new user here...

So I am migrating from a Win7/WMC to WinX/Kodi/NextPVR setup, so fresh installs of everything. However, I can't get the EPG (from schedules direct) to populate correctly. It is fully populated (unlike other recent posts), but all the listed shows are wrong. I have tried my zip code (78240) and neighboring zip codes to no avail.

I contacted Schedules Direct (email exchange below) and they believe it is something in NextPVR. I have attached my logs.

Any advice or suggestions are much appreciated.

Thank you.

This is the raw JSON that would have been sent to NextPVR:

If that seems accurate, then we know it's NextPVR or a configuration issue.

We extend trial periods all of the time during troubleshooting, so don't worry about the trial period if we're actively working on things.

Have you posted a message to the NextPVR Support Forum?

"sub" (the creator of NextPVR is very responsive)

If you work with sub and figure things out then respond to this ticket once your issue is resolved and I will extend your trial so that you get a full week of "real" listings.

Hi everyone - new user here...

What exactly are wrong with the listings? Are they listings from the wrong channel (ie a channel mapping problem), or are they listings for the correct channel but wrong time of the day (likely a pc timezone configuration error)?

So did some more digging and the schedule is 2 hours off (i.e. it is showing shows at 11pm when it is only 9pm)

PEBKAC - (problem exists between keyboard and chair) - when I did the fresh install of windows 10, it set the time zone to Pacific (rather than Central)...

All good.

Great - I was guessing timezone was the likely problem.
