            Bug ID: 380847
           Summary: MP4 video not importing with correct date
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.5.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]
  Target Milestone: ---

Hello,

In attempting to migrate my DAM to digikam I have been testing it with some MP4
files. Digikam is not finding the correct date.

For a file "a.mp4" I have a particular date and time (the correct one) for all
metadata fields except for Encoding Time. It appears that digikam is importing
the MP4 using Encoding Time which sorts it incorrectly within my library.

Is there anyway to change the time that Digikam imports MP4's under? Or is
there a way to change MP4 encoding metadata (not supported by Exiftool).

Thanks!

Additionally, when I view the MP4 properties via the 'properties' pane, the
correct date is shown, however it still sorts incorrectly when viewing images
by date.

Can you take a screenshot where you see the MP4 correct date in right side bar
?

Hey Giles, here you can see it is sorted in May 2014, yet the date is correctly
showing as December 2013.

The date from properties panel is the File System date, not the MP4 metadata
date.

From what metadata field does Digikam then source the MP4 date? As I said in
the original post, all metadata fields have the correct date except for the
Encoding Time. I viewed metadata using Exiftool.

Cheers

Digikam will not display any metadata from my mp4 files in the properties pane.
