Re: UK RT listings out by an hour since move to BST

Hey Markus

I got fixed it.. :)

my versions i use:
tv_grab_ch_search --version
XMLTV module version 0.5.59
This is tv_grab_ch_search.in version 1.14, 2010/10/26 08:43:10

solution for me that works:
sudo vi /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_ch_search (or where ever it is)

add: "use POSIX;" after "#!/usr/bin/perl"

#!/usr/bin/perl
# added by thomi - 20110329 - DST time problem
use POSIX;
...


and changed lines near: ## the timezone tv.search.ch lives in is,
CET/CEST (154-157 in my case)
...
## the timezone tv.search.ch lives in is, CET/CEST
## WORKAROUND DST CHANGE 20110329 - thomi - bhaak

my constant $TZ = strftime("%z",localtime);
##my constant $TZ = "+0100";
...

Thanks to Patric for this workaround.. solution ;)

kind regards

> It may depend what program you are using the listings with. I'm using freevo and that just uses a text file into which it collects the data from xmltv, and each time I collect the data the file is created freshly from scratch. In your system you might still have older data left over, and just new things are added.
