jirim100 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Hello, I don't know whether it is bug or not in Recording Service. In my country today was changed winter time to summer time (shift +1 hour) - all recordings was OK - but, yesterday I look in web server of recording service and all EPG items before DTS was time OK but EPG items after DTS was time shifted + 1 hour. Is it bug in recording service or EPG data from my provider was wrong ??
Lars_MQ Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 What is your EPG source? if it's the inbuild DVB-EIT then the date/time is corrected automatically. If you use an external EPG source, it's up to the source to correct this.
jirim100 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) My EPG source is inbuild in DVB. Edited April 1, 2013 by jirim100
Lars_MQ Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 The RS uses a Windows-API function to convert the DVB-EIT GMT time to the adjusted local time. So there are two possibilities: The windows Windows-API function return an incorrect localtime or your broadcaster sends the data wrong.
jirim100 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) And which type of time must be in DVB-EIT, what is in the technical specification? Local time or UTC time? I ask on this technic from my TV provider and he reply me that they send time as local time because many devices as set-top-boxs, TVs and similarly can not handle DST and for proper display on these devices must be time as local time. And immediatelly after DST they generate new DVB-EIT data (again with local times). Edited April 2, 2013 by jirim100
jirim100 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 Is it possible to add option which type of time is in DVB-EIT, because my provider send always time as local (see my previous comment) ?

No, don't do it. If my provider send DVB-EIT data with local time then why my EPG data was correct weeks before DTS and now after DTS? Only in the overlapped week was the second half EPG entries showed in web server wrong. I'm confused ! Edited April 2, 2013 by jirim100
Tony Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 because my provider send always time as local ... My provider is UPC CR and send EPG data as GMT (UTC)
