Timezone issue causes MySQL errors in media scanning

[stukafox]

Hello,

It appears that some hard-set value in the .war version of Subsonic is causing a failure to write media data to MySQL after scanning:

>tail -f /var/log/subsonic.log
(...)
[2020-12-31 10:14:22,458] ERROR MediaScannerService - Failed to scan media library.
org.springframework.dao.TransientDataAccessResourceException: PreparedStatementCallback; SQL [select id, path, name, artist, song_count, duration_seconds, cover_art_path, year, genre, play_count, last_played, comment, created, last_scanned, present, folder_id from album where name=?]; HOUR_OF_DAY: 2 -> 3; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: HOUR_OF_DAY: 2 -> 3
at org.springframework.jdbc.support.SQLStateSQLExceptionTranslator.doTranslate(SQLStateSQLExceptionTranslator.java:106)

This error is caused when the call to MySQL and the timezone set inside MySQL don't agree and is usually the result of a timezone difference involving Daylight Savings Time not being correctly honored.

Being in the PST, I hard-set MySQL to run on America/Los_Angeles time:

mysql> SELECT @@GLOBAL.time_zone, @@SESSION.time_zone;
+---------------------+---------------------+
| @@GLOBAL.time_zone | @@SESSION.time_zone |
+---------------------+---------------------+
| America/Los_Angeles | America/Los_Angeles |
+---------------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

I also set my JDBC connector to hard-set the timezone the same way:

export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dsubsonic.db='jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/subsonic?user=****&password=*****!&characterEncoding=UTF-8&serverTimezone=America/Los_Angeles'"

However, it appears that sans digging through your no-longer-opensource code, there's no apparent fix.

Here's the base info:

Thanks.
