PMP Embedded Daylight saving time?

1

PMP showing incorrect time since we changed to BST here in the uk! No where to set this in settings? This is a really basic requirement in this day and age! How do I sort this?

2

No one else with this problem? I see many posts with people asking over the last couple of years, but nothing from Plex themselves! Getting the time correct is a fundamental issue, not impressed!

3

Is the computer/OS time correct?

4

No, the os is part of Plex embedded! Libreelec I believe! Nowhere to set the time in the settings!

5

You should probably add a tag to your post to indicate what hardware you’re running PMP on.

6

Sorry can’t see how you do that?

7

SSH into your embedded PMP and add the following to .config/autostart.sh:

systemctl set-environment TZ=Europe/London

8

Hi, sorry no, I’m afraid that made no difference!

9

Is autostart.sh executable?

10

No read only?

11

If I try to edit autostart.sh using nano it creates the file as doesn’t exist and then won’t save with error read only file system?

12

Try this:

echo 'systemctl set-environment TZ=Europe/London' >> .config/autostart.sh

13

Make sure the permissions for autostart.sh is 755:

ls -l .config/autostart.sh 
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           218 May  2  2018 .config/autostart.sh
14

If I do ls -l .config/autostart.sh I get no such file or directory?

15

What is the output of ls -l .config?

Did you run this already?
echo 'systemctl set-environment TZ=Europe/London' >> .config/autostart.sh

18

Yes, but run it again! Now get:

PlexMediaPlayer:~ # ls -l .config
