tv24.lt ini doesn't work anymore

Update on the EPG channels page. THANKS Blackbear199!!

Once again broken 24tv.lt ini

Hello Blackbear199,

Im trying to get local timezone EPG and I changed from: 
index_start.scrub {single|"start_unix":||,|,}
index_stop.scrub {single|"stop_unix":||,|,}
to :
index_start.scrub {single|"start":||,|,}
index_stop.scrub {single|"stop":||,|,}

And i always get:

(   1/2   ) TV24.LT -- chan. (xmltv_id=E1) -- mode Force
i
Unable to update channel E1

Has anyone looked at the epg channels page?

Note: the person who updated the ini file changed the timezone= setting from..

timezone=UTC to timezone=Europe/Vilnius

for this site there are 2 times available,local and UTC.

here you can see the 2 times(unix times are converted to actual date/time)..

"start"(Thur, 16 Feb 2017 00:50) and "start_unix"(Wed, 15 Feb 2017 22:50:00 GMT)

"stop"(Thur, 16 Feb 2017 01:40) and "stop_unix"(Wed, 15 Feb 2017 23:40:00 GMT)

as you can see the unix times are 2 hours earlier than the local times(Lithuania's current timeoffset from UTC).

if you look in the ini file you will see that its using the unix times..

index_start.scrub {single|"start_unix":||,|,}
index_stop.scrub {single|"stop_unix":||,|,}

this means the timezone needs to be set to timezone=UTC

you can use the other times if you wish with timezone=Europe/Vilnius..

index_start.scrub {single|"start":||,|,}
index_stop.scrub {single|"stop":||,|,}

what you cannot do is mix the 2..

UTC timezone with local start/stop times.

or

Local timezone with unix srt/stop times.

both of these will result with the epg being incorrect.the current settings in the updated ini are incorrect so change them to one of the above.

 

 

 

 

 

thanks its working now :)
