More on P2P submissions

[Alaric]

When we submit P2P files, the EBU end of the process always asks us to enter the date of the session manually.  I know for other clubs the system just 'picks up' the date from the original Event set-up as one would expect.  Any idea why this is happening to us?

Could you email your P2P file and we'll take a look at it.

thanks - will do.

Thank you for the file.

The <DATE> tag in your file is
<DATE>16-08-2018</DATE>

while in the file generated on my PC is
<DATE>16/08/2018</DATE>

EBU only accepts the 16/08/2018 format otherwise it asks you to enter the date manually.

The reason that your date is formatted in a different way might be that your PC locale is set to something different to mine, which is

Time zone
(UTC+00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London

Formats...
Short date: 16/08/2018 etc.

At the moment I cannot find a way to force the correct format - googled it a bit and this didn't help.

Which locale do you use?

Thanks.  Problem now solved.  It seems that B****y Microsoft have been back at work again.  I hadn't noticed that when the Spring Update to Windows 10 was installed it reverted the language settings back to English (US) and that also limited the offered date formats such that it wasn't possible to select dd/mm/yyyy for short dates.  I re-created last night's XML file and it now includes <DATE>23/08/2018</DATE> rather than the original <DATE>23-08-2018</DATE>
