EPG Ninja guide off by 1 hour, tried many fixes

[DJones]

Using Stalker Client 0.8.4 and Kodi 15.2 on Windows 7.

Everything is working fine except the time in the guide is 1 hour ahead here in the Pacific Standard Time zone. I've tried changing the time zone to America/Anchorage, changing the xml request to NFPSF 3 then 4 and even changing the system clock on the PC, all after using "Clear Cache" in TV Settings. Nothing seems to help and I'm out of ideas

Great guide by the way, thank you Clairvoyants!

Definitely off by just an hour. I'm in California and the guide is ahead by exactly 1 hour. It's probably just a day light savings time error.

Great stuff... could a fix to DST with the guide be implemented?

Thanks.

Check your devices time zone settings, and also your router time zone settings. You probably have done this, but clearing data could help.

[calimansi]

Just confirmed that my computer and router are set for PST.

While Kodi is running, if I drop my computer time by 1 hour, the correct times appear.

Is there a DST flag in Kodi?

[psycon]

ok
we are trying a new manual fix blackbear is working on.. use fname values if "FULLUTC-X" (right now we just have -3, -4 , -5 , -6 , -7 ,-8
ex EST uses FULLUTC-5, PST uses FULLUTC-8), once testing passes well do all timezones..

after switching to one of those fnames you MUST clear your database and restart kodi.

[DJones]

Thanks for looking into this guys.

Alas, no matter whether I use FULLUTC-8 or FULLUTC-9 or FULLUTC-7, nothing changes in the guide.

I clear data in both TV Setting - General and TV Settings - Guide and also Clear Cache using the Mainteance Tool, then reboot Kodi, but no joy.

Maybe calimansi had more success?

[calimansi]

Nope, nothing works on my end.

I started looking at webgrab to generate my own guide for English channels. So far, I have a few stations synced up with tv.com's east coast line up and it seems pretty accurate so far. I'll post my config files here once they're done. We'll see...

Yay! You fixed it Blackbear.

I changed to "Provider Only" and now ..../fname/FULLUTC-8 sets the correct time.

Thanks again for the great guide.

Blackbear... you are the man. All is well.

Provider only is the way to go.

Thanks.

[Blackbear199]

the regular NFPSF1-4 files should also be fixed.there are no lunger ant fullutc files(that idea didn't workout at all).
if provider only guide preference is showling correctly for you then NFPSF2(English) or NFPSF4(Full) should also show correctly now,i applied the same fix as I did for provider only today.

[Blackbear199]

btw NFPSF1-4 is only used when you select xmltv only.the epg url is not used at all when you select provider only.
provider only gets the epg from the nfps server rather than epg.ninga.
its the same epg info but I think the program description is not as detailed,i've never used it.just going by what I seen people post.

[Blackbear199]

I had to revert the changes I had made for NFPSF1-4 so continue using provider only for those that have the 1 hr issue.

[calimansi]

I like provider only... nothing to think about or enter in. Thanks for keeping it SIMPLE.

[calimansi]

Looks like the guide is off again. Have any changes been implemented?

[Sean5656]

Same. Seems to be problem after problem

[psycon]

Same. Seems to be problem after problem

problem is, you give no details of your issue, what client you are using, what version of that client... what your settings are.. clairvoyant is just a name bro, were not really all seeing..

[DJones]

The guide has been showing the correct time once again, for several days. Thanks again for the great guide, and for maintaining it!
