EPG time is wrong

Added by Ricky Ford over 6 years ago

I'm banging my head against the wall here... I downloaded, and checked, my IPTV provider's EPG information. It would appear that the EPG information is in "UTC" form, because it looks like this:

<programme channel="blah-blah-blah" start="20180502023000 +0000" stop="20180502030000 +0000">

I think the "+0000" means UTC, right? Well, in Tvheadend, under Network, and in the IPTV provider's settings I set "EIT time offset" to be just "UTC". When I download the guide using the socket method, the EPG downloads perfectly, however the time is off by like 3 hours. It's telling me (locally at 9:30pm) that I should be seeing something that played two hours ago, which is just simply not true.

I have no idea what else to look at here... I'm royally confused. I've tried tweaking the "EIT time offset" to be +2 hours and -2 hours, and both times, I deleted the epgdb.v2 file, restart Tvheadend, etc. No change at all. The guide is stuck at being 2 hours behind for some reason.

You'll see in the screenshot that it's saying "blackish" is currently playing, however Jimmy Kimmel is actually what's on right now. Please help! I'm dying for an answer here! I'm currently using "HTS Tvheadend 4.2.6-7~g561355130" on a Debian 9 server.

view the xmltv from tvheadend.

http://ip:port/xmltv

Check to see if the raw output is correct. The webui is using the browser time/date not server.

In that file, I'm seeing the programs listed as:

<programme start="20180503070000 -0600" stop="20180503080000 -0600" channel="f4cc6280500047d5ffd4074bc4e3ee15">

So now what's going on...?

From the example you gave (png), the offset is 3 hours not 2.

What did you have set for the "EIT time offset" when you received the data with "-0600"? -6hrs is the Central Time Zone.

Is the time on your server set correctly? Are you in the Central timezone?
