Timezone missing from today's LibreElec Nightly

    Hi

    This is a fresh install of today's build of LibreElec Nightly (February, 09, 2025).

    I've noticed that the option of set the correct timezone is missing from Settings/Interface/Regional.

    I've also tried to change from the LibreElec Settings menu. To no avail.

    Is anyone else seeing this?

    Everyone running an LE13 image since https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/24899 was merged (10 months ago) sees the same. The timezone is now configured in the LE settings add-on. LE is/was kind of the 'odd one out' among Kodi platforms as the sole UI for the OS is Kodi itself. For e.g. Android, Windows macOS, and desktop Linux timezone is already configured separately in the OS.

    Thanks for replying.

    Noted. I've changed my timezone on the LE settings.

    But isn't changing my clock. Even after a reboot.

    When I went to look in LE settings isn't saved

    Am I missing something?

    Please, let me know. As of now I'm unable to add my movies folder from a specific NAS device because of this error in my Timezone where should be GMT -3.

    Here's the log: https://paste.libreelec.tv/hopeful-cardinal.log

    1. Which timezone do you try to set?
    2. What is the current contents of /storage/.cache/timezone?
    3. Please create /storage/.config/kodi.conf with DEBUG=1 to increase verbosity of LE Settings Addon, restart kodi, set timezone again and post log.

    I'm trying to set my correct timezone to America/Bahia (Brazil)

    There's not such of file called timezone inside /storage/.cache/

    Here's the new log you asked: https://paste.libreelec.tv/set-boxer.log

    Hope this helps

    I can see where it crash but I don't understand why and cannot reproduce. Please post the output of

    Code
    ls -la /storage/.cache|paste

    It is most likely to work around the issue by creating the setting manually:

    Code
    echo TIMEZONE=America/Bahia >/storage/.cache/timezone

    and reboot.

    Even when this is working I'm interested in an additional debug log.

    Here's the output:

    LibreELEC:~ #

    Here's the output from the second command:

    LibreELEC:~ # echo TIMEZONE=America/Bahia >/storage/.cache/timezone

    LibreELEC:~ #

    After that second command was applied I went to LE settings and changed my timezone to the correct one.

    After I rebooted it was all good!

    I did all that while I was logging everything.

    Here's the last log:

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks a lot for the help.

    Unlikely, for the selection they both do use identical /usr/share/zoneinfo/tzdata.zi

    On my Pi its says Timezone Europe/Stockholm i chosen so its been there earlier, anyway my point is; why is it missing? All other european capitals are present but not Stockholm.

    My Pi's:

    Set timezone via addon by antonlacon · Pull Request #322 · LibreELEC/service.libreelec.settings
    Initial implementation for selecting the OS's timezone via the settings addon. While it won't cause harm today, it's not intended to be merged…
    github.com

    The timezone list doesn't include deprecated / repeat entries for the same timezone.

    Some timezones is not possible to select anymore. Actually lot of timezones can't be selected because they are not available anymore. Little too much was filtered out.

    Is there anyway to set an ‘Auto’ time zone so it’s found off the internet?

    I’m proving about 40 x 2nd hand refurbished Intel NUCs with LE (at cost, no profit ) and customised skin for surround/spatial music for a website I moderate in US. Most are going to US members but I have some going to EU and UK. I have a half dozen users here in Australia on top of that, but I can set the time zones here.

    We are cloning a NVME SSD image onto 40 new NVME SSD 500GB drives, the wonderful thing about Linux is it just boots to LE fully setup. Users just need to set their media sources and scan. All done!


    Lots of new LE/Kodi users joining our group soon!

    Thanks to all the dedicated devs here and on the Kodi team. Awesome work.

    I should add I’ll upload the disc image I’m using if anyone here wants it to load a fully set up NUC, it needs to be applied to a new install as it will wipe an existing disc.
