It's a bit of a convoluted answer to that. This has caught me out a
couple of times.
I get the duration of a track as a minutes in text e.g "00:04:00" from
the Virgin API. I use a simple convenient trick to convert that into
seconds using perl function that will convert a date/time string into
the number of seconds since 01/01/1970. For a simple "00:04:00" without
the date that should just give me the straight seconds. That usually
works, but some operating systems remember that there was no GMT time
in 1970 ! They were experimenting with british summer time all year
round !!!
So actually your Raspbian Operating System is right, your windows 10 is
wrong and so was my picoreplayer installation!
Anyway, sorry that was probably a more indepth answer than you were
expecting.
The lesson I learnt was to stop being a bit lazy and stop using that
trick to calculate seconds from a time string.
