Time format taken from wrong reg key (1 Viewer)

[iSP]

Well I had some trouble getting the right time format on my installation, and so several other people, and never was a solution found.
Today I got passed some reg dump of the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International and after some testing I found the cause:

The time actually gets taken from the Locale key, which is also used to determine the language displayed inside mp.
In my case the value was 00000409 somehow instead of 00000413, and so I would get the AM/PM format.
But it shouldn't look there to get the time in the first place, it should get the time format from the sTimeFormat key.

Thanx piba for the reg dump

Not a registry setting thing.. but if you can compile MP then please try the following

check the function protected string GetTime() in MediaPortal.cs and change the code to this then report if it works(for main screens at least..)

string strTime = cur.ToString(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.LongTimePattern) ;
