Hi, I just noticed that the time never changed on my FireTV after the Daylight Saving change yesterday. I guess Kodi pulls this from the device itself, right? Has anyone else noticed this on their FireTV, or is it just unlucky me?
Well, well, well.....this is interesting.
I just got home and had a look. When I go into the Time Zone setting on my FireTV, sure enough, you do have to manually set the time zone. Okay, no problem...I've been set to Atlantic Standard Time (GMT -4:00), so all I have to do is set it to Atlantic Daylight Time (GMT -3:00), and I'll be all set, right?
One problem--there's no listing for Atlantic Daylight Time, nor any other time zone that is GMT -3:00. In fact, the list of available time zones is far from being complete. It seems to only include time zones that are part of the USA and its territories/possessions, PLUS, strangely enough, GMT itself (which it describes as "London, Dublin") and GMT +1:00 (which it describes as "Amsterdam, Berlin").
Seems rather odd, no? In any case, it appears there is NO way to change the time manually, and no way to set it to be the correct time for my area of Canada. So...I guess I live with the time being an hour wrong for half the year?
Working fine in EDT.
Anyone else in atlantic time?
Arizona laughs at everyone having to change their clocks! muhahaha!
The rest of the world laugh at the USA which can't even switch daylight saving at the same time as everybody else and not even in all states
If you know anything about the USA, you know we don't care what anyone else thinks.
Heh.
I'm on eastern time; clock is correct on my Fire stick.
haha, you guys are funny
Found out a solution. Installed TimeZoneChanger app from the google play store. Ran it, selected Canada -> Atlantic, and now my Time Zone setting on the FireTV shows "Atlantic Daylight Time" and the clock is correct.
Still a bit surprising to me that the FireTV does not autocompensate for Daylight Saving Time. Oh well...manual labour twice a year, it shall be
It does, just not for your specific timezone. Clearly a bug.
Yes, true--thanks for the clarification. It looks like for the most part, FireTV only offers time zones for US-related areas, since that's where it's intended to be used for now.
