Unless I am missing it completely, tMM does not store the date added in the NFO file. Is it possible for it to do this? The reason for this request is that if the time stamp of the video file changes, the date added changes which is not really correct. For example, I might mux in some subtitles, or in the case of right now, converting some avi files to mkv files. Such things do not actually change the date added to the library, yet they will appear as newly added items.

Always thought, we are already doing this ^^
Has been added in v3... test tomorrow.

Date in NFO counts, but also file date of videofile.
The older will be taken...

IIRC, newlyAdded and dateAdded are independent.
Former tag is set, when we add a new entry (Movie/Show/Episode) to TMM, regardless of dateAdded...

Hello.

i am on version 3.1.4 and have a large number of films in tmm.

Everything works fine. But then I had to import a backup and renew all the films.
Since then almost all films have been added with today's date. But only almost all of them. Not all.
What can that be? How can I change this?

Sad

Thank u

as you can see in https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=348968 there is no way to make it right for everyone.. but we have added an option in the settings (General) to help the user choose the way date added is handled..
please have a look if that can solve your issues

does not work in latest version ... "date added" in list view differs from "date added" in detail view - strange! opened already issue on github - thx

as stated in the issue tracker:

Quote:you have chosen the FILE_CREATION_DATE as date added; since you cannot change this (or the FILE_LAST_MODIFIED_DATE), the editor will still show the date when you added this movie to tmm!

this is something I cannot change (unless displaying the file creation date as readonly here - which does only cause more work for me and zero benefit for the user)
