Hi.

I found out that using WebEPG timezone corrections were applied 2 times.

First time with exporting to tvguide.xml and secondly with importing the tvguide.xml with xmltv plugin.

For example:

Family Guy on BBC3 showing friday 9th. at 23:30-23:55.

In radiotimes data shows 23:30-23:55

Family Guy~~I Never Met the Dead Man~~~~false~false~true~true~true~false~false~false~~~Animation~Animated comedy series about the everyday trials and tribulations of family life. After he destroys the city's television transmitter, Peter decides to spend more time with his family.~false~09/01/2009~23:30~23:55~25

In tvguide.xml exported (I'm in Holland in timezone +1:00 gmt) as showing 00:30-00:55

  <programme start="20090110003000" stop="20090110005500" channel="BBC THREE-bbc3@bbc.co.uk">
    <title>Family Guy</title>
    <sub-title>I Never Met the Dead Man</sub-title>
    <desc>Animated comedy series about the everyday trials and tribulations of family life. After he destroys the city's television transmitter, Peter decides to spend more time with his family.</desc>
    <category>Animation</category>
    <previously-shown />
  </programme>

In MediaPortal TVGUIDE showing at 01:30-01:55 Like times are interpeted like in gmt timezone and timezone corrected again.

I believe that WebEPG should export the right timezone information in the tvguide.xml like this to solve the problem (that's how it would look like with TVxb):

  <programme start="20090110003000 +0100" stop="20090110005500 +0100" channel="BBC THREE-bbc3@bbc.co.uk">
    <title>Family Guy</title>
    <sub-title>I Never Met the Dead Man</sub-title>
    <desc>Animated comedy series about the everyday trials and tribulations of family life. After he destroys the city's television transmitter, Peter decides to spend more time with his family.</desc>
    <category>Animation</category>
    <previously-shown />
  </programme>

I've solved the problem temporarily by changing the radiotimes grabber definition file (1-xmltv_radiotimes_com.xml) from:

  <Info language="en" availableDays="0" timezone="GMT Standard Time" version="2.0.3" />

to:

  <Info language="en" availableDays="0" timezone="W. Europe Standard Time" version="2.0.3" />

This way no time change is done by WebEPG and only by the xmltv plugin in tv-server at the moment of import.
