In the job, I pass the chanid and the starttime values. <br>
<br>
What was passed to the user job was: 9296 for chanid and
20151213215800 for the starttime. When mythlink.pl runs, it
does a sql query for a show that was recorded on that chanid and
starttime and fails to find anything and no links are created. <br>
<br>
Looking in the database for this recording, I see that actual
start time is 2015-12-14 04:58:00. This is a difference of 7
hours. I happen to live in UTC -7. So it looks like a timezone
issue. <br>
<br>
If I run my user job again by hand, but modify it to pass the
starttime + 7 hours, then mythlink runs and finds the show and
the appropriate link is created. <br>
<br>
I am not sure how to fix this. Any suggestions? <br>

Use %STARTTIMEUTC% instead of %STARTTIME%<br>

Thanks!,<br>
<br>
I see the note on this page regarding the various xxxUTC variables.<br>
<br>
Sadly, many of the wiki pages ( that I was following ) don't make
mention of them and still use STARTTIME.<br>
