I think you need to "start it off" by pushing "Go" on the Controls window after you set a time. That seemed to then line everything up. Note that the Menu Bar time widget does not reflect the Timeline time tho!

OK, the menu bar was throwing me off... makes no sense. Thanks.

I think some of the time stamps, but not all, are adapted to the local time zone. Very confusing user interface overall, it’s trying something very ambitious but not succeeding on the execution.

yeah, I have no idea what's going on with the time. There is a 2 hour delta between the time in the box where I hit "go" and the "current time" on the menu bar. I'm on the west coast so it would make sense if it was a 3 hour difference, or a 0 hour difference, but 2 makes no sense to me.

Unless it was a DST change? But the 2007 change only happened for the start in March.

Don't get it either. But setting a time and hitting "go" seems to adjust the streams to the right time. But it doesn't "tick" when playing for some reason.

I don't understand why there's static noise instead of broadcast all the time. Is it a buffering animation and does the server have troubles keeping up?

I think its a mix of buffering + skipping to real time. It's not a classic buffer because the clock has to keep ticking
