But I don't believe the file creation date being backdated has anything to do with Jellyfin. It should have to do with the software that is creating/downloading the files in the first place, which is what I have to investigate. I think it may be due to the way I am downloading files (newsgroup) that is preserving the original file creation/modification dates, and that the dates may be wrong on the original creator's end which is carrying through to my download.
you would be correct in your assumption this is external to jellyfin, jellyfin (at least for me) has not yet changed a file creation date
what you would be looking for is the 'touch' command for linux - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/touch-comm...h-examples
that will enable you to set any date on the files you wish then jellyfin will use that when you have the setting enabled to use file creation date instead of scan date
there are equivalents for windows but i cannot link a specific source - https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+touch+for+windows
