There is an option in the XMLTV plugin config for that.

Where is there an option in there for setting the proper timezone?
I do not see it...

 

[daWooky]

apply time.....

 

[Lehmden]

You either can set a time compensation here (e.g. if your program is 2 hours to late, then add 2 here, if it is two hours to early add -2) or modify the corresponding siteini to match your personal needed timezone..

I am ready to pull my hair out...
After 6 tries of trying to set the hours minutes (yes I checked the box to enable it) I decided to modify the xml...
Here is part of your file

?xml version="1.0"?>
<settings>
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\EPG-Buddy\EPG-Grabber.WebGrab.xml</filename>

<channel update="s" site="ATSC_tvguide.com" site_id="(srvID20419)Number:2.2,SourceId:57776" xmltv_id="DECADES">DECADES</channel>
<channel update="s" site="ATSC_tvguide.com" site_id="(srvID20419)Number:5.1,SourceId:11881" xmltv_id="NBC5">NBC5</channel>

Here is what I use to use and never had a timezone issue.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site generator-info-name="WebGrab+Plus/w MDB &amp; REX Postprocess -- version 1.1.1/55.27 -- Jan van Straaten" site="tvguide.com">

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.com" site_id="(srvID20419)Number:5.1,SourceId:11881" xmltv_id="WMAQ HDTV">WMAQ HDTV</channel>

The site_id= is the same for both... The TV Guide is about 6 hours off....
As you can see the Clock time for 10:30 AM has News at 4:30AM listed....

I am deleting my TV database and starting over with a full channel scan and everything.
Something else seems to be happening... No matter what changes I make, nothing changes

 

[Lehmden]

After altering those things you need to re-import the EPG-Data to make the changes visible.
And you must not edit the WebGrab++.config.xml as you show here. The timezone is defined in the siteini file for your EPG source. In this case this is "ATSC_tvguide.com.ini"
Here you will find a line like this:
site {url=tvguide.com|timezone=UTC|maxdays=16.1|cultureinfo=en-US|charset=UTF-8|titlematchfactor=90|firstshow=2}

The recent timezone used here is UTC what is the worldtime. Here you can enter the conversion for your timezone, I assume it has to be "UTC - 6" or "Central Standard Time" or "CST" or similar.

I did this setup with only 3 channels listed in the channel list.
<channel update="s" site="ATSC_tvguide.com" site_id="(srvID20419)Number:2.1,SourceId:11751" xmltv_id="WBBM-DT (CBS2-HD)">WBBM-DT (CBS2-HD)</channel>
<channel update="s" site="ATSC_tvguide.com" site_id="(srvID20419)Number:2.2,SourceId:57776" xmltv_id="DECADES">DECADES</channel>
<channel update="s" site="ATSC_tvguide.com" site_id="(srvID20419)Number:7.1,SourceId:11877" xmltv_id="WLS-HD">WLS-HD</channel>

No matter what I do, the Import Skips the first channel...
[2017-01-20 10:44:27,692] [20566 ] [SetupTv ] [DEBUG] - plugin:xmltv importing files in C:\Program Files (x86)\EPG-Buddy\tvguide.lst

[2017-01-20 10:44:27,776] [20650 ] [SetupTv ] [DEBUG] - channel#1 xmlidECADES nameECADES dbsid:2

It also is at lest 6 hours off
Current time


Next day...

 

[breese]

For reference the timezone setting is specific
timezone=UTC-06:00

If you set it wrong in the Site.ini file it will error, then you can look at the log and it gives you all the examples of what to use.

Even with that, my TV Guide is still 6 hours off.....

Hi.
The XML file contains data for all 3 channels (WBBM-DT (CBS2-HD), DECADES, WLS-HD) but no time compensation.
A program line from your XML:
<programme start="20170120183000 +0000" stop="20170120210000 +0000" channel="WBBM-DT (CBS2-HD)">
and one from my XML:
<programme start="20170120065100 +0000" stop="20170120070300 +0000" channel="Schau TV">
I'm living in timezone UTC + 1 (Central Europe) and I don't need to apply any corrections. This is done by the culture setting of my Windows and/or MP2 installation (de-DE, where you would have en-US)

So the resulting tvguide-xml is completely as to be expected, assuming you don't edit the siteini file. Everything that did not work must be related to (wrong) XMLTV plugin and/or system configuration... The one channel not imported is most likely a mapping issue and the wrong time is a matter of applying a proper time compensation somehow...Can it be that your system is set to en-EN what means UK, not US and would fit to UTC +0000 as UTC is the right timezone for Great Britain.

So there is nothing EPG-Buddy can do better, I fear.
