Guide from XMLTV an hour out??
« on: May 04, 2018, 04:14:52 pm »

Hi,

Given up on OTA guide as it has been getting patchier and patchier on UK Freeview.

Currently trialling Digiguide with DG2XML to get it into JMC23.

Digiguide shows correct times, xml file generated contains the correct times, but for some reason when loaded into JMC everything is an hour out.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Check the time zone and Day Light Savings settings.

Ok, dates in the xml file are in the form "20180430001500 +0000".

PC is showing correct time as is JMC.

PC location is UK, timezone is UTC (Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London).

Everything seems to match up apart from JMC when it loads the data

Ok, I can work round it by giving DG2XML a parameter of "offset=-60" but I don't really get why that's needed

Dont forget we are now UTC +1 - British Summer Time

Hi again, guide data ok apart from lots of extra artifacts on lots of channels such as the attached picture showing tonight's Channel 4 listings which in theatre view results in multiple overlaid program shapes and descriptions.

Anybody else experienced this?

Thanks
