[mythtv-users] Myth can't handle daylight time saving?

[Richard Morton]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply. I dont want this to get bitchy but Myth is used
worldwide, .com addresses are world wide and Raptor stated that DST *for
him  *did occur.

enough said?
Surely this is helpful as a warning to those people who live in countries
that haven't quite caught up with us yet (yes that is a time pun, no offence
meant), as it gives you a reminder that problems might lie on the tracks
ahead...

In any case; the trac for changing to UTC would fix this, but of course this
is low priority as it would have ramifications throughout the code yet only
affects us (all?) twice a year ... it caused my system mythbackend process
to crash on Saturday.

Not in the US, it didn't...if you're somewhere else, you probably
should've specified it, as your email address doesn't say.

That said, if the definition of DST has changed in your country recently
(as it did here a few years ago), you should make sure your timezone files
are up-to-date.  With Gentoo, something like "emerge -1 timezone-data"
should work.  Otherwise, your clock will adjust at the wrong time.
