Build database timestamps from EXIV2 data when available

Post by JoeMerchant » Mon Dec 24, 2007 2:22 pm

System Info: QNAP TS-109 running Twonky 4.4.2 - client is PS3 60GB v2.10 - wired 100Mbit ethernet connection via router.

I have a database of approximately 15,000 photos snapped over the last 10 years stored on my TS-109. They all have valid exiv2 data, including date and time they were taken. Looking at the files on a Linux box via NFS, they also all have date created timestamps that correspond to when they were initially copied off of the flash card.

When I browse these photos "by date" on the PS3-Twonky, many (most) of them seem to be sorted by some other timestamp, some are correct, most are more recent, and the time always comes out as 12:00am in the PS3 photo album.

If Twonky could build the photo time/date database using exiv2 data it would be much more accurate than whatever they are using now.
