[AppleTV2] Setting the Time?

pmcd · 2011-01-22 07:35

Hmm ... am I missing where to set the time zone, or is it just not there? Got to say that for a few hours XBMC has been streaming 720p stuff with no buffering, no stuttering and great picture. The GUI is a bit sluggish but perhaps it's because it seems to be in windowed mode.

Set to PST by default, this worked for me, obviously change Canada/Mountain to whatever you need.

SSH into ATV2

cd /private/var/db/timezone
rm localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Mountain localtime
killall AppleTV

Any Chance you could post the settings to display correct clock time for United Kingdom please??

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT localtime

I was looking for the file for Central Time (i live in Chicago)

also (noob alert) I'm using cyberduck... am i just overwriting the "/private/var/db/timezone" file with this new file that i get from "/usr/share/zoneinfo/" ?

thanks in advance !! Big Grin

Reggie, no
log into via terminal (i guess you have a mac, since you are using cyberduck?)
and type
cd /private/var/db/timezone
rm localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/**Canada/Mountain** localtime
killall AppleTV

where **Canada/Mountain** replace with
America/Chicago
so

this is your method....

cd /private/var/db/timezone
rm localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/**America/Chicago** localtime
killall AppleTV
