Good morning and firs of all thank you for your work!

 

As you might know 2 weeks ago there was a time zone change in Italy, from +2 to +1, the problem is that all the epg events for italuy are still on timezone +2 causing events sync problem. Did you already planned to fiz the timezone for italian channles?

 

Thank you

An enigma machine does not have problems with this.  The schedules are correct.

 

You are probably using this EPG on Kodi.  And we do not support Kodi after all the problems they have caused.

Sorry.

Hello, I'm not using Kodi, I'm using the epg on my own project, I can also fix the tmezone issue by correcting it on the fly but I was only wondering if there is a plan to set the correct time zone on epg.

 

Thank you

The time in the xml files is defined including timezone information, so you need to do the correct calculation.

 

So: start="20161106160000 +0200" means 06-11-2016 16:00:00 GMT+2.

thak you, yes it is necessary to "force" the adjust process and it will slowdown the import process, but why it has to be written in the wrong timezone? Is there a specific reason?

Thank you

It isn't written in the wrong timezone, all XML entries are generated with times in GMT.

 

So depending on where you are in the world, you need to convert it into local time. There are people in other timezones that need access to italian EPG data, so using localtime in the XML is impossible.

Hello, thank you for the clarification but I think is it wrong by the way, current GMT is +1 since the end of october :

That is the same everywhere else in Europe.

 

I don't know exactly how it works, I would have to look into the code. I can see that a program defined in the XML as "20161107171000 +0200" is displayed on my STB (which runs in CET/GMT+1) as starting at 16:10.

 

So perhaps you need to calculate twice: 20161107171000 +0200 = 20161107151000 +0000 = 20161107161000 CET/GMT+1 (localtime in my case) ?

yes and this will cause a big waste of time , it seems strange but parsing date and work with them has an huge costs on performance (Java)

Lol. Everything has a huge cost on performance in Java.

 

It is very simple, this is a free and open effort from the Rytec team, meant to provide EPG support for Enigma STB's. If you want to use it for something else, you have to take it or leave it.

Yep, but Android is java and there is nothing I can do :-)

Yes I know and that's way the first thing was "Thank you for your work!"

By The way i added the conversion so every provider can be used as source and the timezone is automatically adjusted :-)

If you need a backup host for the epg files just let me know, I will be pleased to help you and give ftp access to my web server.

Hi...i am a new user here.  I have an enigma machine and there is no problems with this. Here in my case the  schedules are working fine.If you are using EPG on Kodi then i think you will face the problem.
