Upcoming TV schedule dates

[Blue278 22]

I was wondering if there is an option to reflect the TV schedule dates depending on where you live. Kodi correctly syncs my TV show air dates. I tried changing the time zone in Docker on my UGREEN DXP4800 Plus. If I change to the Australian time zone UTC +11, Sunday changes to Saturday. If I change the timezone between UTC -1 to -11, the dates don't change. I'm a bit confused.

 Kodi:Technically, this is the correct date for my EU region.

   

 

Emby; Wong Date for my region.

Timezone:UTC -1 to -11 no change to the dates

\

Thanks

HI, have you checked the timezone settings of the client device as well (browser?) ?

@Blue278did you happen to see these?

@LukeNo, I haven’t. So the issues have been going on for years. Will it be fixed soon?

 

Thanks

I would take a look at them. I linked to them because they both found solutions.

I have reached out for help. I'm not an advanced user of Docker, it’s very complicated.

@LukeI'm still having issues where the incorrect dates are displayed in upcoming.

Title: Upcoming view shows episodes one day early - timezone rendering bug

Emby Version: 4.10.0.8 beta (also tested on latest stable - same issue)

Server OS: Docker container on Ugreen DXP4800 Plus (Debian)

Server Timezone: Europe/London (UTC+1)

---

Issue:

The Upcoming view displays future episodes one day early. This has been an ongoing issue since at least May 2025 (see my previous thread: https://emby.media/community/topic/139138-upcoming-tv-schedule-dates/)

Proof this is a rendering bug, not a data bug:

I have confirmed the following for Marshals S1E6 "Out of the Shadows (2)":

1. TMDB cache file on server contains: air_date: 2026-04-06T00:00:00.0000000Z 
2. Emby Upcoming view displays: Sunday 5 Apr 
3. Correct date should be: Monday 6 Apr 
4. Kodi reads identical data and displays Monday 6 Apr correctly
5. Container time confirmed correct: Mon Apr 6 00:09:59 BST 2026 
6. /etc/localtime correctly set to Europe/London 
7. MetadataCountryCode set to GB 
8. UICulture set to en-GB 

Root cause:

Emby's Upcoming view rendering code is subtracting the UTC+1 offset when grouping episodes by day. Since air dates are stored as midnight UTC (T00:00:00.0000000Z), subtracting 1 hour pushes them back to 23:00 the previous day, causing them to appear under the wrong date group.

Kodi handles this correctly by applying the show's network timezone when converting UTC air times to local dates. Emby needs to do the same.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run Emby server in Docker with TZ=Europe/London
2. Add any US network show to your library
3. View the Upcoming section on the home screen
4. Episodes will appear one day early compared to the actual air date

Expected: Marshals S1E6 shows under Monday 6 Apr

Actual: Marshals S1E6 shows under Sunday 5 Apr / Yesterday
