Local & System Time info uncertainties

Asked by Rodrigo Vangelius

Hi, just to make your answer at "https://answers.launchpad.net/xibo/+question/218278" 100% clear, i'll ask two questions.

First question:
Do you mean that even if the "System Time" information window under Xibo's "System Information" shows another time compare to the "Local Time" , that it doesn't matters if the 2 times are showing differents times, that the Local Time is the important one, that if the Local Time shows the correct time that then all is allright, despite than they are showing difference of about two hous between times?

Second question: If the answer to the first question is "Yes" then why is it important to show both times under Xibo's "System Information" anyway (local and system)? In which way it is important then you are showing the "System Time" , particularly when working with Xibo?

Greeting and thank you for your work and answer!

The system clock reported in that dialog will always be the date/time in GMT. What actually is the problem you are having?

Xibo will always use local time. The clock popup was intended as debugging information and could be removed.

The time the clock says is the time Xibo will use.
