Incorrect Date Added for home videos and photos


Recommended Posts

Hi

I have Emby Server running on a Windows machine and a library of type 'Home Videos and Photos'.
Date Added behaviour is set to 'Use file creation date'

Some times this works OK but in a lot of cases when I copy new files on to my server, the File Creation date gets set to today's date.  This then results in Emby assigning today's date to them which is expected.

I then realise my mistake, fix the File Creation date in File Explorer but Emby does not update the date even if I refresh metadata and rescan library files.

I've tried removing these files completely from Emby, rescanning the library so the file disappears from Emby, then copying it back again with the correct File Creation date.  Emby adds the file back again but retains the same date it had previously - not the actual File Creation date and not even today's date but the date it was previously added to Emby.

So basically I need a way to fix this.

Can anyone offer any solutions?

Thanks,
Warren.
