Get current roDateTime based on a give timezone

Hello,

I am trying to get the current time of a certain place (not my roku device time), based on the given timezone.

For example, if I have a timezone of -25200, how do I get the roDateTime of this location?

I have seen JS methods for doing this, and I was wondering if it doable in BRS.

Thanks.

For the current time:

t = CreateObject("roDateTime")
t.fromSeconds(t.asSeconds()-25200)

For some other time replace t.asSeconds() with the GMT time in seconds (from epoch - 1/1/1970) you want to convert to another timezone.
