UPDATE 2024/10/22: New builds for Windows and UWP/XBOX are available!

Hello everybody!

After nearly four years in the works, I am ready to merge PR modernizing all internal date and time keeping in Kodi!

As this change will affect everyone (who wants to miss the show recording, after all?), I NEED TESTERS!

Please back your Kodi profile up, install the test build matching your device, start using it and post your observations in this topic!

Bug report:

It adds 1 hour to my local/system time. Tried to find some kind of setting under interface and/or system to fix this time displacement unsuccessfully.

Windows 11 x64
Local time: central, GTM -6

Let me know if you need some kind of log.

Ooops, forgot Windows Time

Are you in Mexico? Perhaps you are in another GMT -6 that supports DST.

**basilgello** · 2024-10-01, 12:14

OK, reproduced: https://github.com/microsoft/STL/issues/4997

Can you please run Powershell and post screenshot of this command?

powershell:


(Get-Item C:\Windows\System32\icu.dll).VersionInfo

I would like to know if ICU was ever updated in 2024.

Thanks for the confirmation! I have asked our colleagues in charge of Windows builds how should we proceed with the fix. Will do another build once this is done.

Excellent! Glad I was able to help Smile

i would love if the post or the PR linked had a brief description of what the change is and what the benefits are? Smile

To my understanding these are to combat a Y2038 bug, and currently on Linux it's not possible to search earlier than a certain point in time.
It supposed to resolve a build issue in Debian and maybe some more stuff this modernization fixes .

Original PR description updated! Smile
