Should display local times

[Jan Schneider]

Since MythTV 0.26, all times are returned as UTC via the API. When displaying times, e.g. start times of upcoming recordings, they should be converted to the local time.

Ah, I'm looking into the best way to resolve this now.

This is now fixed in git. I'll push out a new release shortly.

Your commit only effects the status line, but not the (more important) schedule lines. Attached patch fixes this.

This patch changes the date and time format to really use the locale's format. For some reason, the script still doesn't pick up LC_TIME but uses the C locale for formatting. Not sure why this is happening.

Thanks Jan.

Sadly the Date::Manip stuff doesn't listen to locale for the date format, you must explicitly set US or non-US when you init it.

To avoid that silliness I've changed it to use %Y-%m-%d which is hopefully more generally acceptable.

I've also added another patch that handles the Ends time for in progress recordings.

This issue is resolved in 0.10.4 in Debian Unstable...
