Set the timezone in Kodi settings.

Thank nickr,
The timezone however only has locations, closest to UTC is UK/London, However Londen is using DaylightSavings, and is currently UTC+1.
I have not found any static timezones like GMT, UTC, BST in the list. Or am i overlooking something obvious here ?

LibreELEC is a bit different to other distros as /etc is read only.
TIMEZONE is kept in /storage/.cache/timezone
