Date added spans 100 years

[Andrommy 2]

I use the function sort by date added often but after a new install of emby on a new pc server the date added is totally wrong, my first movie was added 1/13/1930 it says and the latest 9/14/2029

 

Nothing wrong with the file's creation date and if I choose to date scanned to library as behavior for new content the result is the same.

I tried to delete metadata, nfos, and even clean install of the server but something is spooky.

check the date created timestamp of your media files.

Properties of the media files.

is there an added value in the nfo file?

The value in the nfo is wrong too. Deleting the nfo and rescan doesnt help either.

 

 

A bit of a fix: If i chose not to store nfos and images within media folders it seems to be working.

What OS and server version?  Can you post a server log replicating this issue.

Maybe this log will help.

 

Windows 10 and emby version 3.1.1.0

Most likely when you added the movie it came with a pre-existing nfo that already had the added value populated.

 

Refreshing does not change the added value and this is by design. Why are you expecting it to change? If you have an added value in nfo metadata, then that value is considered to be the value that you want, and the server will not change it.
