EPG is offset by 2 hours. How to set timezone?

General Discussions Plex Features

DVR is working, i can watch live on Plex Android app.

It turns out i actually also have 2 problems with watching LIVE tv via webinterface. I guess these are related:

  • When using the web interface to watch live, it just says "Playback Error / Unable to tune channel (Not on air)".
  • And in the web interface it seems the programs it thinks are on now, are actually a 1 or 2 hours in the future.

I run the Linuxserver.io Plex docker. I could not find a timezone option in docker server/user/app settings.

As far as the web player I have seen errors (not that one specific) but after retrying once or twice the video loads for Live TV does your video never load?

What OS are you running your docker on?

If on linux you can run docker exec -it plex /bin/bash and get to the shell of that docker image.
from there you can check date to check and verify what you have set under more /etc/localtime

My Plex container I never had to mess with any of this but other docker containers that’s how I updated their time.

I tried retrying Live TV a few times but it does not make a difference. Did that several times and found that on those occasions the Android Plex app continued to work.

I am using Unraid 6 as OS.

Thanks! Stupid me did not look into date and /etc/localtime (didnt know this one) yet … i’ll share my results here in a day or so.

OK i tried date on host and in plex docker. Both are correct:

Fri Nov  3 12:33:34 CET 2017

The output of more /etc/localtime in plex docker is:

TZif2
UTC0

My correct timezone is CET.

**update: **
I tested again on Android and webinterface, and the “On right now” list is correct now. I’ll run some more tests using the PC and browser i originally had this problem with, including video playback.
