Description of Issue

Hi, I run Roon OS on a NUC with ROCK installed on it. I run ROON Remote on my iPad/iPhone. I notice that my time zone on Roon seems to be set to UTC not my local zone. For example this evening (Friday) I listened to music until 8:10pm. Roon shows that I listened to 10 minutes of music on Saturday, this works out to UTC. How do I change time zones on ROCK? In the BIOS? I assume that is where the issue is being my remote devices are set to the correct time. I checked in the community and it seems like this has been an issue for some over the years, but I couldn’t find a resolution. Thanks in advance!

There is no solution. It seems that’s just how Roon works, that Roon Server uses UTC tz internally for all timestamps and is unable/unwilling to correctly translate them to a remotes local time for listening stats.
I can’t see what this has to do with ROCK or that users can’t set a tz for ROCK. My Server (and other users Servers too I guess) is not ROCK and has correctly configured tz and the listening stats are wrong too.

Note: Time zone is a OS and not a BIOS feature. Please leave the BIOS time setting of your NUC alone.

On the first day of the current week, the second date of the tool tip is set back to the last day of the previous week: [Untitled] Roon seemingly needs the first day of any week to be completed to show the correct tool tip, minor issue, but it is noticable. Might the way Roon handles date logic be the cause of:

Rock thinks it is living in the UK

When looking at the home screen and my recent listening, if I’m listening in the evening, roon is crediting my music after 7pm to the next day (I’m in in the USA eastern time zone). For example today, Tuesday, it is adding play time and artists etc to wednesday. It’s a minor nitpick, but it appears that the clock or timezone seems to be off, and I don’t see a place to adjust it.

Recent listening TOD is OFF

This doesn’t look right. it’s 11:22 PM Sunday night. Recent listening is showing over 5 hours on Monday but we’re not there yet. [image]

Songs being allocated to incorrect days - timezone issue?

Content you’re reporting an issue with All played tracks Have you made any edits to this content in Roon? No Is this content from local files, TIDAL, or Qobuz? No Screenshot of import settings [Screen Shot 2022-01-28 at 5.54.05 PM] Description of the issue All the tracks I’m playing are showing as played tomorrow. i.e. It’s 5:50pm January 28th in Colorado but the track I just finished is showing played January 29th on my home page. I can’t find anywhere to update my location…

… and so on. It looks to me like the listening stats feature has been released by Roon in a broken state and never got fixed since.
