Sorry about the confusion, it is quite complicated.
In base it is a bug, but it is in .NET, so I proposed a bit of explanation for a workaround in the wiki.

The thing is, .net (and thus mediaportal) doesn't respect the short time format customization. Instead it derives it from the current format of the regional settings in windows as described in the first post.

So when you customize the short time format, it doesn't affect the way mediaportal displays the time, however, if you choose another format (from the first dropdown on the "Formats" tab in region and language settings (in windows), then the way mediaportal displays the time *does* change.

Can't imagine this clearing the confusion, but I'll try anyway

[QUOTE="doskabouter, post: 994981, member: 98267"] Sorry about the confusion, it is quite complicated.
