Date of birth/death wrong

[tantalos 1]

As you can see on the attached picture, date of birth/death is always one day off in all Android TV and Fire TV client apps.

Hi.  I believe the app is adjusting to your local time.   Does it show differently in the web app?

Hi @ebr

It's working on different (client apps) like LG Web OS, on the web app or Android apps, except Android TV and Fire TV.

Maybe, but it shouldn't, cos a (absolute) date is a date, no matter what your local time is.

Agreed that it shouldn't. It's something we'll need to look at changing the way that it's stored.

As you can see, the behaviour is a little bit weird:

If you call an item via your Media, date of birth and death are wrong.

if you call it via favorites, only date of death is wrong.

Well, actually, it isn't. Dates are very dependent on where you are.  For instance, if I die tonight at 11pm my time (EDT) and you are in the UK.  Then I died tomorrow from your perspective (at the exact time of my death it will be Aug 23rd).

But, dates of death don't even contain times and we don't know where the person was when they died so we can't be that pedantic .

But, we convert all dates to UTC for storage so that, in and of itself, will have an impact on how we interpret it.

10 months and no chance to fix such a simple error?

Hi.  Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares?

Thanks.
