Any chance of using sidecar files for video date/time metadata?
Hi again. For the last week I've been organising my media archive and Immich has been a great help with that (thanks to everyone that helped!) However, through my previous posts here I've learnt that I can only change the date/time of videos by editing the CreateDate tag via ExifTool. This changes the hash of the video and would require me to delete and reupload the videos.
For pictures, using DigiKam and saving changes to an XMP file updates the date/time just fine. Are there any plans for Immich to support the same for videos?

Can't get Immich to update video date
Hi. I used DigiKam to change the date of a video file. I've tried changing EXIF, XMP, IPTC and Last Modified but can't get Immich to show the updated date after extracting metadata and sidecar metadate for all files.
I'm currently testing on a new Immich instance with just the one video file.

Deleting duplicate/lower resolution files?
Hi, I recently uploaded my entire archive of media into Immich and didn't realise my archive contained a bunch of thumbnail images which are just lower resolution images of existing pictures. Is there any efficient way to delete all these files? I understand Immich doesn't recognise when a file is deleted directly from the library directory, so I can't use a tool like DigiKam to delete the duplicates/thumbnails for me.

Changing the date of thousands of images
Hi everyone. I'm at a lost right now. I just uploaded my entire photo archive to Immich including pictures almost a decade old now. A lot of them are not in the correct date/year in the Immich app. I would really appreciate it if someone could recommend a way of bulk changing the dates of these images. It's driving me crazy seeing my Immich gallery this unorganised now.
