Argentina EPG 3 hours shift.

Added by German Gutierrez over 10 years ago

Sorry for crossposting, but I don't know how many of you also check the XMLTV section of this forum.

I'm in Argentina and after I've set up my tune I ended up with a 3 hours shift.
This means: what's is going to happen at 11:00 tveheadend shows it at 8:00.

I don't think that tvheadend is to blame, tho.

Rationale:
ART is -0300, the box clock is at ART, that's OK.
Using tv_grab_dvb I saw (just a snippet)

<programme channel="59170.dvb.guide" start="20140506083000" stop="20140506090000">

And noted that there is no timezone reference, it should be start="20140506083000 -0300", so tvheadend "thinks" that the time is in UTC and converts it to ART.
Any ideas about how to correct this?
Where does tvheadend set the country, if anywhere?

Regards,
Germán

I saw your post originally, but didn't really know what to say... if that's the data that xmltv is returning, then tvheadend is simply trusting that and isn't doing any country 'override' to the data, I suspect.

So I suppose the question is whether the xmltv scraper always returns it in UTC, or whether it ever returns it -3h, or if this is a temporary glitch, or if anyone else in Argentina gets the same problem on any other platforms. Okay, that's four questions, but...

Could you sed it ... look for \"\d{14}\" and insert the -0300?

Is there anything in the script itself?

Can you re-configure the grabber?

Guessing, I'm afraid...

Thanks for your answer! I guess I have a lot to learn about tvheadend...

Well, tvheadend grabs the xmltv from the digital signal, tv_grab_dvb is kinda tcpdump for the usb tuner (BTW, I noted that I need to tune some signal to make tv_grab_dvb work)
I saw some external grabbers, but I haven't found any other source for our EPG other than the signal itself, I've found a tv_grab_ar script but it downloads the EPG for cable not DTTV (TDA or TDT down here).
I've checked again and the signal's EPG is

<programme channel="59171.dvb.guide" start="20140522015000" stop="20140522035000
">
        <title lang="spa">Pubis angelical</title>

And it matches the http://www.incaatv.gov.ar/programacion/2014-05-22/
I can confirm that the signal is sending the schedule in local time without, that's why I was asking how I ended up with a 3 hours shift and if there is a way to correct this...
