Pommes 8 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I am currently redoing/refreshing my emby install and i am trying to fix a problem i have had for years (NOT embys fault). I got many youtube videos automatically downloaded and sorted by ytdlp, the thing is it set the date in the metadata wrong like 20210516 instead of 2021-05-16 so emby picks the videos up from the year 20210516 instead of 16 Mai 2021. In the file name the date is written correct in 2021-05-16. Whats the best way to fix this? Is there a way that emby just ignores the metadata date and takes it from the filename? This effect nearly 400k videofiles so manual fixing is out of question, do you know any good scripts that could fix this Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8296 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Can you show a specific example of what shows in the UI and the embedded file data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8296 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 So the embedded tag has bad information. There are no options to ignore embedded tags that I know of. We would need to see the embedded tags. But would assume the dev would have to parse the tag to 4 digits from a specific format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 We do have a sanity check on the year value, but it is missing from one place, so maybe that is the problem .That's easily fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
