if $INFO[VideoPlayer.StartTime] or $INFO[Player.StartTime] is used together with Live-TV (VDR here) the starttime is counting back 2-3 times every sec. It should not differ, because the starttime is always the same.
Is this a known bug or what can be done to get the starttime for the actual playing program in LiveTV?
Thx

NextStartTime etc. are working ... btw. and there is nothing in the debug-log

No one?

I noticed this too. and it's not a new issue (it is like that for at least few months for me) - try using Pvr.Time instead of Player.StartTime

Thx, but Pvr.Time gives the time since the start of the e.g. Film
iPlayer.StartTime should give the StartTime from EPG. At least the Wiki says so:

Player.StartTime
Returns the starttime (from the epg) of a tv program, for all other videos it will return the time you started watching this video.

That's why I think it is a bug ...

I am seeing that with pvr.hts client too so it's not only VDR.

Has it ever been fixed? It works fine with Kodi 16 and 17 but in Kodi 18 the time is counting back. Using TVH 4.3 master.
