Ah, I see it affects XBMC completely and shows the wrong time on Home and in the EPG (i.e. it shows the current programme as the one that was on an hour ago) and not just the log

Just edit advancedsettings.xml and add the correct timezone information. E.g. I use:

Code:

<locale>
        <country>UK (24h)</country>
        <language>English</language>
        <timezone>Europe/London</timezone>
        <timezonecountry>Britain (UK)</timezonecountry>
    </locale>

That will fix the time. Not sure why setting this in the gui is broken in gotham builds.

Thanks, I'll try that. I checked guisettings.xml and that already has

Code:

<locale>
        <audiolanguage>original</audiolanguage>
        <charset>DEFAULT</charset>
        <country>UK (24h)</country>
        <language>English</language>
        <subtitlelanguage>original</subtitlelanguage>
        <timezone></timezone>
        <timezonecountry></timezonecountry>
    </locale>

so as you can see, the timezone settings are blank which explains why it's not working.

Hmm, adding the settings to advancedsettings.xml didn't help and it still shows an hour behind onscreen. I put the timezone settings in guisettings.xml as well and that's fixed it.

Looking through I also saw

Code:

<audiooutput>
        <ac3passthrough>true</ac3passthrough>
        <audiodevice>default</audiodevice>
        <channels>1</channels>
        <dtshdpassthrough>true</dtshdpassthrough>
        <dtspassthrough>true</dtspassthrough>
        <guisoundmode>1</guisoundmode>
        <mode>0</mode>
        <multichannellpcm>true</multichannellpcm>
        <normalizelevels>true</normalizelevels>
        <passthroughaac>false</passthroughaac>
        <passthroughdevice>default</passthroughdevice>
        <processquality>30</processquality>
        <stereoupmix>false</stereoupmix>
        <streamsilence>true</streamsilence>
        <truehdpassthrough>true</truehdpassthrough>
    </audiooutput>

could the normalizelevels setting be causing Music to be so much louder than TV or does that setting apply to all audio? I note that there doesn't seem to be any downmix setting in there, is that located somewhere else?

There's also

Code:

<audio>
        <mute>false</mute>
        <fvolumelevel>1.000000</fvolumelevel>
    </audio>

and I wonder what fvolumelevel controls.

I also saw

Code:

<input>
        <enablejoystick>true</enablejoystick>

which I changed to false as I'm not using a joystick and it seems sensible to disable anything I'm not using.
