Daylight Savings Time support?

[Hippo]

I just re-built the latest to be sure, but I've been double time-changed since Sat.

My Ubuntu automatically updated its clock 1 hour ahead, and so did XBMC. Now it's stuck at 1 hour ahead of where it's supposed to be. I ended up just telling XBMC that I'm in a different time zone, but that's a pretty lame fix.

Is this happening to anybody else?

Yeah, this is happening to me also. I've tried both internet time sync as well as manually setting the time, but it looks like Linux system time is king.

[xgrep]

Same here as well. My best (superficial) guess would be that xbmc isn't set to handle the new EDT times. A year (or 2) ago the US decided to move EDT a few weeks earlier. Threw off a bunch of things.

zdump -v EST5EDT | grep 2008

EST5EDT Sun Mar 9 06:59:59 2008 UTC = Sun Mar 9 01:59:59 2008 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
EST5EDT Sun Mar 9 07:00:00 2008 UTC = Sun Mar 9 03:00:00 2008 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
EST5EDT Sun Nov 2 05:59:59 2008 UTC = Sun Nov 2 01:59:59 2008 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
EST5EDT Sun Nov 2 06:00:00 2008 UTC = Sun Nov 2 01:00:00 2008 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000


Of course this is completely superficial, it's just based on my experience with my servers.

I am also having daylight savings issues. Ubuntu puts the clock 1 hour ahead for daylight savings and XBMC then puts another hour on. I am UK based GMT, so Ubuntu time is correct but XBMC is 1 hour ahead. I don't want to change Ubuntu time as machine is running MythTV.

Is it possible to disable daylight savings on XBMC linux? There is an option on the XBOX XBMC to turn it off, but this seems to be missing on the Linux port? I've tried to manually set the time in XBMC but this gets ignored.

Thanks.

Yeah I got the same problem in .au XBMC is always 1 hour faster than the ubuntu system time during daylight savings Now that daylight savigns has finshed here its fine and back to normal again

[xgrep]

sounds like xbmc's DST code just needs to be turned off and left to linux to handle. (I assume the xbox doesn't handle DST on it's own)

Yep, definitely broken. Noticed it right away but didn't bother posting.

Fixed in r12940.
