I download XML files with a time zone offset, so the times specified in the
file are locally correct, and do not have to be changed by my viewer.
So the program
start="20070108183000 -0600" stop="20070108190000 -0600"
starts at 6:30 PM local time.
However, after using "tv_split --output %j.xml", the program above is in
the file for Jan. 9 (009.xml) even though it is airing (locally) on Jan. 8
(008.xml).
tv_split is apparently internally adding the time zone offset back in, so
the example program above is represented as starting at 20070109003000
(which is on the next day).
I changed the timezone in tv_grab_na_dd.conf to -0000, but this had no
effect on the operation of tv_split; "Timezone is -0600" is still printed
to the console.
If I download listings in UTC, the practical result is the same. The times
in the daily files appear to be all from the same day, but they are all
locally airing 6 hours earlier.
Today's daily file, then, contains all shows from 1800 last night through
1800 tonight: Not exactly a useful daily file.
