Some titles do not appear in "Latest Added"

[Asazen 8]

Some titles don't appear in Latest Added and I noticed that emby adds an incorrect date, this happens with random titles, for example this one that I just added right now and it's because emby gave me the added date 3/21/2019 0:24

What is your "Date added behavior" set to in Settings>Library tab in the sidebar>Advanced tab top of the screen? 

It is likely set to "File creation date", you'd need "Date scanned into library" there.

Thank you, I placed it as you indicated, I will observe it and comment if it is solved.

Please note that changing that setting will only apply to new content added going forward.

I am having the same problem. I see this on a movie that I added recently.

"Media Info

MKV15.9 GB Added 12/29/2014 3:37 PM"

I can't imagine this emby  instance is ten years old. Pretty sure I started over recently. Maybe not. Does Emby hang on to the date that a movie was added if I remove it and then re add it years later? Because I added like ten movies the other day, and five showed up in latest movies. The rest I can find but have to search. I think I may have had them in the past.

 

Hopefully the setting above solves this going forward? Is there a way to set something so when a movie is removed the date resets if it is added again?

Yes sorry I did need to change it to the recommended setting.

Probably the only time you would want to flip that setting is if you were setting up from scratch or reloading a library and you want it to use the file date so everything doesn't look like you just added it.  Then after loading the library, flip it back again.

I could see that.
