DateAdded Advanced - vbs - 2023-12-02
Hi folks,
I did a plugin, basically for my personal usage but also for fun:
https://github.com/verybadsoldier/Jellyfin.Plugin.DateAddedAdvanced
I think it lacks some good documentation. But in short it does:
* configurable if "modified" or "created" time of files is used for DateAdded in the database
* fixes the problem on Linux that JF is using "modified" time instead of "created" time due to a .NET problem
* read "dateadded" properly from NFO files (JF does not always do this)
* create (or update) NFO files by writing "dateadded" to file
* TV shows and seasons use DateAdded from childrens (TV show from seasons, seasons from files)
If there is interest, I probably need to provide better explanations

Ah! A very good idea, I might grab this some day. I had resigned to just keep using a metadata editing program to batch update the created dates on my files every time I restore a backup, but this might be better.
