Jim -
As I had said earlier - I had always previously set the hardware RTC to UTC and never had any problems
with Myth or any other app.  Using the old Mythweb, the times were correct.

No joy now with the hweclock set to UTC or PST.

As an example, this is an entry from today's schedule (AFTER I rebooted with the hwclock set to local TZ):


2/15/2025
	6:00 PM 	180 min 	2025 4 Nations Face-Off 	Team Finland vs. Team Sweden 	
	
2/15/2025
	007 KABC


As you can see, it lists the start time as 6:00 PM. The game actually 
started at 10:00 AM here.


If I load up Mythweb: (192.168.56.9/mythweb) - the times are correct!!

Still scratching my head.

[rcs at vader: ~]curl --headerAccept:application/json localhost:6544/Myth/GetTimeZonene
{"TimeZoneInfo": {"TimeZoneID": "America\/Los_Angeles", "UTCOffset": -28800, "CurrentDateTime": "2025-02-15T23:06:06Z"}}


Bill - so it appears to be correct here.
This, and the fact that the old Mythweb gets the listings correct - 
makes me think that there's some quirk in the new web interface **on 
this machine** that needs to be fixed.

Please advise - thanks!
