Feature: 24h Time!!!

[FidgetyRat]

Any chance of squeezing the ability to change time format into sage 7 (Without the need to set the entire server in a European timezone?) I've been shooting for this feature since version 2 and it never comes.

There are plenty of us Americans that don't use the 12h system. It's borderline frustrating having every program I own EXCEPT SAGE accept that my machine had its time format set to 24h and believe it or not, it actually messes with your mind.

Sage is going to put me in the nutt house.

I live in Europe and have 24h clock and timezone CET on my server. The EPG and time stamps for recordings and so on show 24h format. But, the screen used to set a timed recording uses 12h format. Annoying... even if I rarely use it.

Real men (and gals) use 24 hour time format…

At least you get that much!

Reminds me of my cell phone. Env 3 Verizon, internal clock allows 24h, front clock only 12h.. Who comes up with this stuff.

I don't really understand why applications need to do their own thing regarding the time format anyhow. Why not simply display the time the way it is setup in the OS?
Even if the time format is configurable within an application like Sage, it's still annoying that you have set things like this multiple times for a system.

Page 148 of the Studio manual tells you exactly how to make this change. Been there for years. Even if you've never opened Studio before, it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to learn enough to do this yourself, save the result as an STVI, and be a hero to your fellow 24-hour partisans.

Not in USA unless your the on military time or astronomical time as for your comment I beg differ, The 12-hour clock is, however, still dominant in a handful of countries and has been for min years long then 24 hour clock system.

Import this in the "old way" and it will change the display in the Main Header and the OSD to 24 hour time. Let me know if it does not work.

All of the other time displays will still be in 12 hour format. Changing those will take more time.

Which UI does this require, V3 or V7?

True, the USA mainly uses the 12h system. But we are also non-metric, love american football, and apparently hate soccer, so clearly we're a bit back-asswards in other regards


Friends tend to get annoyed about my clocks. I actually had one woman freak out when it was 00:00 and she almost cried (a bit crazy and yes alcohol was involved.). The best is when people try to read my watch. I use 24h analog watches so it takes people a few since the hands are all out of position.

V7 - but I have not put it into the plugin repository so you will need to import it from detailed setup. If there really is a demand for this I will put it into the repository.
