Bug#1011241: kodi: Unable to change timezone (Kodi only uses system’s timezone)



Package: kodi
Version: 2:19.4+dfsg2-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In Debian’s build of Kodi I’m unable to change timezone and Kodi is stuck with the system timezone (which is set to UTC).

The timezone settings can’t be changed in the UI and the `locale.timezonecountry` and `locale.timezone` settings in `userdata/guisettings.xml` have no effect. I also tried setting the TZ environment variable in Kodi’s systemd service with no luck (I tried multiple values: America/Montreal, America/Toronto, Etc/GMT-4).

I believe this is due to the `cdatetime-std-chrono`’s patches, but I can’t figure what exactly is causing this. My understanding of those patches is that Kodi now uses tzdata (and thus should read the TZ env), but I’m struggling to understand what it actually does and why it’s needed.

Also, just for information, changing timezone from the UI or in the `userdata/guisettings.xml` file works well with deb-multimedia.org’s (dmo) build of Kodi.
