Hello all,

I have a curious case to ask you for.
I have my TS9600 programmed with proper made java script program, so it is able to calculate the estimated time of a movie to finish. In practice, it takes the remaining time value from an Oppo player (by rs232), and it adds the seconds value to the actual time. Script is this :

//Calcoli & orari di credits, fine e intervallo
var OraFine = new Date();
var OraCredits = new Date();
var OraIntervallo = new Date();
if ((Intervallo == false) && (CalculateSeconds(offsetintervallo) > 0)) {
OraFine.setSeconds(CalculateSeconds(remaining) + breaklenght);
OraCredits.setSeconds(CalculateSeconds(offsetcredits) - CalculateSeconds(elapsed) + breaklenght);
} else {
OraFine.setSeconds(CalculateSeconds(remaining));
OraCredits.setSeconds(CalculateSeconds(offsetcredits) - CalculateSeconds(elapsed));
}
OraIntervallo.setSeconds(CalculateSeconds(offsetintervallo) - CalculateSeconds(elapsed));
percent = parseInt(100*(CalculateSeconds(elapsed)/(CalculateSeconds(remaining) + CalculateSeconds(elapsed))));

Until some month ago all worked fine. Yesterday, for first time, i noted that the "calculated hours" (OraFine, OraCredits & OraIntervallo) values are +1h respect to what they should be. Example : if present time is 16.00, remaining time is 1h, instead of showing 17.00 as end time, it shows 18.00.

What can be the reason? I checked date & time settings and they are ok, i was thinking some issue related to "legal time"...but found no options to set up on my pronto...and anyway present hour is correctly set up.

Any idea about what can be the issue? This same program worked fine until few weeks ago...

Thanks and Best regards,

FKB

You are running into an issue where the JavaScript engine is in DST and maybe your time is not?

Relying on new Date() as a time base is not reliable.

I could not find my other thread but this thread pretty much sums it up.

Your best bet? Hit some http server and get the current date/time from the response header.

Hello, thanks for help. Looking more close to PIP settings, i found that my Pronto was set up on wrong time zone (Dublin, instead of Berlin/Rome) and with daylight saving off...once corrected this, all worked fine.

Thank you anyway for your suggestion.
