[mythtv-users] MythWeb 0.11 and XMLTV time offset

[Chris Cox, N0UK]

Good day.

I am sure this is a FAQ, however, I have not been able to find such 
through verious google searches if it is!

I am finding that the programme listings shown by mythweb are advanced one 
hour from the true local time of the shows.  This is not the case in 
mythtv's programme listing - only in mythweb.

The xmltv offset has been defined in the mythtv setup screens currently as 
auto, however, I had previously had it set to explicitly one hour.  
Neither alters the times returned by mythweb.

When then viewing the "scheduled recording" list with mythweb, the times 
shown are different again.  Now they appear to be GMT(+dst offset) and not 
local time, although they are still rendered in local representation 
format.

Here is a specific example.  This morning I select to record Hawaii 
Five-O from the broadcast TV listings.  It airs locally at 0800 CDT.  The 
mythweb programme listing shows it as airing at 0900.  Having instructed 
myth to record the show, it appears in the scheduled recordings list as 
starting at 2:00pm (1400).  0800 CDT == 0700 CST == 1300 GMT, but add back 
the one hour DST offset == 1400.

Interesting, huh?

Submitting a request through the web interface causes a recording job to 
be scheduled for the correct time, so it is evidently just a time display 
issue, however, it is rather disconerting!

I had noticed similar behaviour under rel 0.10 as well but assumed that it 
would have been corrected by now!
