4 months ago I believe this error is related to the "summer" clock changes it results in the start time no longer targeting 00:00:00. Adding a "+ 3600" should temporarily sort it until the "winter" clock changes and the "+ 3600" will then need to be removed.
Hopefully someone who actually knows what they are doing will know how to fix this properly so it takes the current time offset into account automatically.
