Date added always 1/1/1904 - scf - 2025-08-21

When I added new content, in the NFO files the "dateadded" field is almost always:


     <dateadded>1904-01-01 00:00:00</dateadded>


How do I get Jellyfin to use the current date?

Also, in Dashboard>Libraries>NFO Settings, the "Release date format" field is set to "yyyy-MM-dd", with no other options offered. I have my system settings (MacOS) to standard US settings (m/d/y).

Jellyfin 10.9.9.
