Time zone setup ???

[vincegre]

Hi

Using PMP on Intel NUC, you can setup time format in setup of PMP (12 or 24h) but no way to change time zone :( so it's always GMT time !! Why is there no zone setup aside the format setup ?

Thanks

@vincegre Doesn't PMP display the system time? Why not set the time zone in the operating system you run on your NUC?

This is a feature that should be implemented in the future. We need some other things first, but it should come.

@vincegre @sandrasi : it looks like the latest test builds for PMP that you can find here might fix that issue.

Could you try and confirm ?

How is it supposed to fix the issue ? I'm already running the 2.9 version since last weeb but out of 12/24 format setup there is still nothing to setup clock by itself :-1:

@vincegre : did you even try the latest build i linked above ?

Sorry for not having been more precise in my previous email but I'm running already build 2.9.0.847 since release and it looks to be still the last release and I don't see anything in setup out of the existing 12/24 format choice :-1:

And are you having the wrong Timezone picked up without any autostart script stuff ?

And are you having the wrong Timezone picked up without any autostart script stuff ?

My setup is the basic one, PMP installed by the installation script when you boot the img and nothing else done on it ! Right now it's 8:43am (CET) here and PMP displays 6:43am ! Is it supposed to take automatically the PMS time ? but in that case which one ? as on my account I have multiple PMS shared that are in different timezones in the world !

SSH into your embedded PMP machine. Type ls -l /usr/share/zoneinfo to list the region names and find YOUR_REGION_NAME. Type ls -l /usr/share/zoneinfo/YOUR_REGION_NAME/ to find YOUR_TIMEZONE_NAME for your region. Type echo 'systemctl set-environment TZ=YOUR_REGION_NAME/YOUR_TIMEZONE_NAME' >> .config/autostart.sh

Thanks I know that trick but not interested into it, bored to have to do it again each time I upgrade my PMP ;)

I know it's not the best way to do it for now.

TZ setting has been worked out, but we need to wait for some other changes to happen in webapp before we can make this available :)

So it's on the list but not immedialtely

Although you shouldn't need to redo this at every update unless you reflesh completely rather than upgrading each time.

Thanks that's good news ;)

Well in the past you could not upgrade directly from PMP ;) Looks like it's working now so will check when an update is avalaible if it's able to auto-update itself and in that case will do the manual trick :+1:
