Packer 3 Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Plus is it best to use date scanned into library option not created date of file just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36992 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It's by date added into your library, which you've configured to be file creation date. So that's why I'm saying have you taken a look at the date added values for these videos in the emby metadata editor and compared them to your other videos. The file creation dates of these files are probably not what you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you do that, this is just guess work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep in mind that changing the option will not affect existing content that's already been imported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to either use the metadata editor and manually edit date added values, or move the new videos out of your library, run a full scan of all libraries, then after it finishes add them back.
