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!

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

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

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

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 .
