Here is my setup. I have a Nvidia Shield Pro (2017). I have the time setup correctly within the Nvidia Shield and it shows the correct time. However, on my Kodi install (v16) time is off by 8 hours. I did some research and found that a timezone option is available in settings under the International option, but when I look there there is no timezone option for me available. It is not displayed so I can not change my timezone. Any suggestions on how to get my time correct?

You can not manual set the time in Kodi settings on Android you can only change the format, it pulls the time from the time set in Android settings.
I can't say why you're not getting the correct time in Kodi if it's correct in Android.

Yeah, it is odd. I can not figure it out.

Does anyone know where Kodi actually gets the system time from? I am digging around in my system (using adb) and it appears that everything points to the correct timezone outside of Kodi.

Yes, I have set the timezone in the Shield. The timezone in the Shield is correct. The time in the Shield is correct. The time in Kodi running on the shield is off by 8 hours

Actually, I was just about to do a workaround where I turn OFF automatic time setting in the Shield and then set the time zone to GMT - 2:00. Then I set the time manually to my local time. Now the Shield main screen, the screen saver, and Kodi all show the correct time.
I don't understand why they can't fix that Shield screen saver bug once and for all.

This issue appears to have been fixed in the Kodi 17.5.1 final update. Shield main screen & screen saver, and Kodi now all displaying correct time for my Hawaii time zone. Hope it lasts.

I was having this problem also today where my Kodi time was 3 hours ahead of the shield (correct) time. I rebooted my shield and the time fixed itself. Not sure why it was off in the first place. This might help others with this problem.
