Date Added (Local Files) "ENCODINGTIME" Tag

Support

Issue description:

I have a file with a tag ENCODINGTIME which has been formatted to match the way symfornium is showing the date added field under an album YYYY-DD-MM HH:MM:MS

For whatever reason this tag is not what is being displayed for date added in symfonium

Logs:

Reproduction steps:

 
After tagging my tracks with ENCODINGTIME = 2024-11-22 19:48:12
In symfonium the Date Added = 2024-11-23 00:40:39

In windows the created date = Saturday, ‎November ‎23, ‎2024, ‏‎7:53:37 AM
In MP3tag & windows, modified date = 11/23/2024 8:06:29 AM

I have re-added this file after clearing the cache & re-tagging it a few times to see if symfonium was placing its own date added but the date appearing in the app does not change

Where is it pulling this info from?

As per this post

It was to my understanding that the app was reading the ENCODINGTIME tag (if present) to display date added.

Have I misunderstood something along the way?

The standard format (and the one that I use) is:
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss

So you are missing the “T” as separator between days and hours, but not sure if that would make a difference.

Strangely it’s just not parser for Xiph, will fix in next release.

You know…I have to ask. When all is said & done will i be able to put anything I want into this field :eyes: or will i need to keep the values standardized.

I was thinking to add a timezone code at the end of the date / time.
