Niko_K Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi, I have a problem with the recording service (I am using 1.29 right now). My recordings are saved with incorrect EPG information, because the time the recording is started does not match the time the EPG is used from. I have experimented with the settings a bit, but none of the time changes seems to help me. Here is my setup: - Recording Service Server is a virtualized machine (using virtualbox) running windows 8.1 pro 64bit. - Two clients are used. One runs OpenELEC 4.1.4 and the other one uses XBMC running under windows 7 64bit - The recordings are saved onto a samba share (which is hosted on a centos 7 64bit server) I double-checked all time settings in: recording service options & DVBViewer pro options on rs-server; time in openelec, time in windows7 running xbmc, time on centos7 server However, when recording live-tv the file under which the recoding is saved is wrong: I just tried to made a test recording with "the simpsons" which just aired some minutes ago... ...the files got saved correctly on the samba share named by "date_time_channelname_Die Simpsons.*", but their epg entry is off by one hour (in the future) and its EPG entry (saved in the *.txt file) is set to "Europa League Qualifikation Play off", which will air at after the simpons. (and since this game lasts for two hours I guess the EPG is off by one hour... this would also match my other test recordings). Why is the EPG saved incorrectly?My RecordingService confiuration says that the EPG time is set to "auto" (and the disabled field shows the correct GMT+02:00). The system time is correct. In DVBViewer (and in the webfrontend) the epg is shown for the correct/current time. What is going on here? Why is the EPG information incorrect? Kind Regards, Niko 1 Link to comment
Niko_K Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Just tested this with xbmc and DVBViewer (using rtsp network device connected by recording service). Result: Recording using XBMC: off by one hour Using DVBViewer (on the same client, the same recording service, the same server, ...): everything correct. So this is definitly no problem with my system settings :-) Is this some kind of bug in recording service 1.29 I am also starting to believe that this post would get some more replies in the german forums (what about double-postings in various languages in this forum?) :-) Edited August 28, 2014 by Niko_K Link to comment
Niko_K Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 This problem still exists in Recording Service 1.30.0 (Beta). Link to comment
Tjod Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Where ist the EPG incorrect DVBViewer, RS web interface or only in XBMC? Link to comment
Niko_K Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) It is wrong when starting the recording in XBMC; but it is also stored incorrectly in the files saved on the server... Is this maybe related to daylight savings time?? (the time and location settings in xbmc are correct; also the settings in the rs configuration) Edited October 15, 2014 by Niko_K Link to comment
majstang Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I suspect this issue may be related to the fileinfo workaround Lars did for RS and DVBViewer to handle lenght/duration trouble when DST changes. http://www.DVBViewer.tv/forum/topic/47452-rs-database-winter-time-change-bug/ Dont know how the RS plugin for XBMC is implemented really, but am almost sure it does not have the workaround earlier mentioned.

Niko_K Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes... this sounds like my problem :-) Link to comment
majstang Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Developer collaboration is the only way to fix it then. Setting something like that up can be hard, but you can at least try. Link to comment
Hansrh Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'd say that there is one setting for the DVBViewer settings in XBMC that is missing and that is the possibility to alter EPG Time Shift. If you take a look in PVR IPTV Simple Clent 2 there is a possibility in the EPG Settings tab to change the EPG Time. Had problems with this before but now it seems to show the right EPG for the programs. Link to comment
