EPG suffering from the change

[MymsMan]

It's that time again and Sunday has disappeared from the EPG on both webif

and RS


At the moment Visual display looks OK

Edit: But past midnight it is back to normal, weird

If I were to speculate, I would say it's probably going to be broken between 23:00 and 00:00.

weird

Weird = unexplainable

In this case, there is a simple potential explanation (as I think prpr is hinting).

Hypothesis: the presentation code takes the current time and resolves it to a day name for t+24h, t+48h, etc... but when 23:00 ≤︎ t ≤︎ 23:59 that formula hits the "missing" hour due to GMT →︎ BST so Sunday becomes Monday – which is actually true.

So, although the labelling looks odd, actually clicking "Monday" when t = 23:30 (say) should get you to the EPG around 00:30 Monday morning (ie Sunday night). Not so weird at all.

I can't think of an alternative formula, but it is bound to attract a comment such as this from time to time.

Suggestion: maybe add an asterisk to the the day label when there is a clock shift within the span for all day labels after the clock shift? So in the example above, "Monday" would read "Monday*".

I think there's a simple-ish fix too. These posts/threads allude to some of what's needed:

Just haven't had time to try it.
