How do you change the time on a raspberry pi?
I have put a couple of pool.ntp.org servers in the relevant settings page and its not using them to set the time.
How do I get it to do so?
Changing the time of Rpi

Does adding boot delay (LE settings -> Network -> Wait for network... -> approx 30 sec wait) help?
(It fixed that and DB connect issues for me at least.) -

Have you set your location in Kodi and LE?

If you have the wrong time with the correct location/timezone, it's more a Kodi problem, not LibreELEC.

I have a similar problem and have set the wait for network and location settings.
But the Raspberry Pi doesn't have a way to save the time when you turned it off.
On the Raspberry Pi, the OS must get the time from a NTP server on a set schedule or on boot so the apps running on top of the OS have the right time.
Or via a script if the task is left to the user.
I don't see how this is an issue with Kodi.

Yes, I can confirm that OSMC (Kodi) does sync reliably with NTP servers at boot time.
First line when booting OSMC: " [Ok] Started Set Time using HTTP query "
This is a first after trying several distros over the years.
But you must use the default Kodi skin (Estuary) or you won't see the Add-ons menu (hidden).
Can anyone confirm if LibreELEC syncs reliably with NTP servers at boot time on a Raspberry Pi 2/3? (lost a card in the process)

I have no problems getting the correct time.
ntp is done through connman not through ntpd itself.

Ok sorted it - Goto the Settings/Interface/Regional and set:
Region Default Format and Timezone Country and it will work fine
Thanks all for the hints...
