Date Format

jcjefferies · 2019-06-20, 09:13 AM

The date format everywhere in the Web App on my Windows V5 server is mm/dd/yyyy. I dont know if its a recent change or if its always been like that as mainly use the Web app for Settings. It just seems to be in the web app as dates in the NextPVRServer cmd window are in the correct format. The date format is correct on my Linux V5 server Web App. Is there a setting somewhere that has got changed?

Out of curiosity, what browser are you using?

I'm so used to seeing different date formats that I didn't notice I was getting different formats in different browsers. The app was asking the browser to format the dates using the system locale, but that didn't always seem to be happening correctly. Edge seemed to give the same format as the user machine. Chrome seemed to give the US date format.

I've made a change for the next build to force the date format.

FYI, that change I made for the next build requires your language to be set correctly in your browser. ie, "English (United Kingdom)" instead of the default "English (United States)".

I am using Chrome in Windows and it is set to UK English which I assume it picked up from Windows. I am using Chromium on Linux and that is also set to English UK.

Thanks Sub installing V5.0.0.190621 has cured the date problem. It didnt happen automatically as the language in Chrome which was UK English had been changed to just "English" but after changing it to UK English again the dates are now dd/mm/yyyy!
