Video date incorrectly shown from unrealistic Year 170164 but MP4 file's embedded date is 2016.
As shown in the screenshot, there are multiple videos shown from a unrealistic Year, take the first one as example, it's Year 170164.
I downloaded the same file, and checked the embeded data, it's from 2016 and seems to be correct.
Questions:
- Is this a bug of Immich? Anyone seeing the same thing? I'm using v1.121.0. All my files are External Library which is read-only to Immich, not uploaded via Immich itself.
- Any idea on how to fix this incorrect date problem? Is this date loaded from the file on-the-fly or storing in a local Immich database?

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close
command, and re-open it later if needed.I have extracted the mediainfo from the mp4 file, which looks correct to me.

@bo0tzz thank you for your help!
btw, the file has Handler Description : IsoMedia File Produced by Google, 5-11-2011
This one should be a video I download from Google Photos.
Hey @bo0tzz I just found this one:
https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/3547
Looks like this is a common problem and in the issuee alextran1502 mentioned this should be fixed in Immich, if I'm still suffering the problem does it mean the bug is not completely fixed? What do you think?
How long have you been using immich @Kesteve ?
Just wondering whether you have had this issue for a while or fresh
In case it is for a while, try extracting metadata on all assets
This is my first week using Immich, and v1.121.0 is the only version I have ever used.
