not sure if I am in the right thread here... my timeshift is passing through an import with a timeshift, and now my final guide is +6 instead of the desired +3.

i have a server on a QNAP NAS that is importing a server setup on a Win10 box to get my YouTube TVE and a few custom channel for chrome setups. a few of these custom channels have a timeshift guide data of +3 for east/west differences. in the win10 box the guide data is correct. but in the final QNAP server the same channels are now +6. the 3pm show is in the guide at 6pm by mistake.

win10 box with CC4C and YT TVE: (guide is correct)

That is because you are using guide data that has already been time shifted and coping it from one server to another and it is being time shifted again. @eric I guess this is a sided effect of coping over the time shift in the m3u and using guide data that has already been time shifted.

before this last week, this setup worked fine with only the first time shift being performed.

It did not work when using Gracenote StationID instead of the of the EPG XML from Channels DVR. @tmm1 @eric will either have to regress the update ... and affect those that use Gracenote StationID's to get guide data in 2nd DVR. Whatever he decides it is an easy work around.

USING Gracenote Station ID requires you copy over the TVG offset.
USING EPG XML from one DVR to another does not require you to copy the TVG offset... because the EPG XML already contains the guide with the offset.

So I am ok if the offset is not copied ... I will just have to work around it but others may care.

This is fixed latest pre-release ...

TV Guide listings for live offset times are missing now
