Aus DST and GBPVR

[Seguer]

Yep, another thread. I've checked all the others and tried their methods, but to no avail.

I use D1XMLTV for my tv guide data and changed some settings in its config (time settings, +10, etc) which didn't help. I also tried emptying EPG and reloading it numerous times (with GBPVR closed). I also manually changed my system time back and forth an hour, to no change!

I have no idea what else I can try.


Any ideas?

Maybe your XMLTV grabber is not generating the correct timezone info in the XMLTV files it produces?

I thought of that too - D1XMLTV has the option to manually adjust the times it sets, and I fiddled with adding +1000 or -1000 (or even +5000 to see a difference). Nothing happened, except in the +5000 where all the guide data disappeared for that day onwards.

Sorry, I'm not really sure what to suggest. I'm not aware of any problems with this, and it hasnt changed in a couple years now, so I'm inclined to think its a bug with your XMLTV grabber.

A few users had a problem with the change in daylight savings dates in the US recently, but this wasnt a GB-PVR problem, but rather them applying the Microsoft patch too late. A simple empty/update epg fixed this for them.

I tried the patch but it was already installed (XP Pro SP2, so it did it auto). I used the -OnlyEmptyEPG and I went into the config app to empty both cards' EPGs and reload them. Nothing worked. Is there a utility I can download or a web app that I can use that will convert UTC times? That way I can manually check what D1XMLTV is using.

Post one of you xmltv files and I'll take a look.

Here you go sub, thanks.

Sorry, I cant work it out in my head. It'll be something to do with GMT+1000 timezone the xmltv files is using vs the timezone your PC is set to (or whether you have 'automatically adjust for daylight savings' ticked in the control panel).

[Seguer]

Timezone is set correctly and automatically adjust is ticked.

Sorry, I dont know then. Try a different XMLTV grabber.
