Hmmm, I was really looking for the phrase to use 
Perhaps
@antisuck Yes, original release date matters to me too, hence the attempt. It really bugs me that my Led Zepplin albums for instance, are shown by the dates of release of the CD's I bought and not in 'proper' chronological order. Well, now they are. The tags I have used are the correct ones according to the tagging specs for each type. For MP3, TDOR appears to have become the date of release for Podcasts which isn't really what the spec suggests but thats what my research tends to confirm. This will support WMA tags, Vorbis, Ape and ID3v2.3 & v2.4. MP4 will stay the same as it is now, simply because there is no formal spec released by Apple and although I have tried to find an 'original date' type tag in the Apple dev docs I was unsuccessful.
If anybody has an m4a type file with an original date and a release date in it that their tagger can read/write if they wouldn't mind sharing it, I could possibly work out the tag name with it.
Teaser screenshots!
What Kodi does now.
What (hopefully) it'll do in the future.
Album info showing both original and release dates. (Dates are localized to whatever format you have told Kodi to use).
Please note that although this is working, I still need to get the internal design approved and tidy up my code before I can submit a PR to the team so it'll be a while before it (hopefully) makes it into v19.
Perhaps Release date should be re-release date ? It all depends really on how accurate your tags are and how skins will display things.@antisuck Yes, original release date matters to me too, hence the attempt.
