I worked in broadcasting (programming broadcasting applications), everything is done with PTP (Precise Time Protocol) and TC (timecode) in video. We had to support leap second, it's not as easy, but in the end, insert black frames for 1s and that's it.
I hope leap days are handled a bit more sophisticated!
Insert black frames for 24 hours and you're good to go!
