It's in mythfrontend: Setup->Appearance->Localization.

FWIW, I think you might have gotten an answer sooner if you had directed
this question to the mythtv-users list.

Hi Roland

in src/app/services/utility.service.ts

I used toLocaleTimeString, which should have given an appropriate format
for the locale

  formatTime(date: string): string {
    if (!date)
      return '';
    // Get the locale specific time and remove the seconds
    const t = new Date(date);
    const tWithSecs = t.toLocaleTimeString() + ' ';
    return tWithSecs.replace(/:.. /, '');
  }

Maybe we need to customize that somewhere. Is there a setting to tell
which format is needed?

If you would like me to change it open a ticket for me.

Peter

I think he was specifically looking for a setting for the web app, which
does not use the MythTV locale setting (but perhaps it should).

Oops, my bad! I didn't notice the subject line, only the content. Sorry
for the noise.

Peter,

thank you for this information.
In essence this means that the web-browser is responsible to display
correct date/time information.
In order to get Firefox to display the date/time information and other
locale settings like
`LC_TIME` and `LC_NUMERIC`
correctly in my language, I needed to set-up Firefox correctly:
Open a new tab in Firefox, type about:config in the address bar and hit
enter,
proceed to agree to the warning message and use the search bar to find
intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales.
Toggle the flag value to true and restart the browser.

Now, every date/time display works as desired in the web-app..

One reason for setting the locale of the backend server to `en_US.UTF-8` is
that the grabber scripts for themoviedb.org (tmdb3.py and tmdbtv.py) use the
default locale as a second option when they do not find artworks in the
given language,
which is `de` in my case and defaults to `LANG=en_US.UTF-8`.

Thank you for your help and the powerful web-application,

Roland
