Originally created by @Bigmack3000 on GitHub (Aug 15, 2024).
What happened?
I'm uploading my saved podcasts from iTunes. Everything has a date in iTunes, but abs is not reading dates for some when they're loaded into it.
What did you expect to happen?
I would like to see the pub dates for all episodes so they are sorted properly.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Audiobookshelf version
Downloaded today can't find version number.
How are you running audiobookshelf?
Docker
What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?
Windows
If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?
None

uploaded logs here.
also, two screenshots showing the date in itunes, and no date in abs.
Thanks!
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 16, 2024):
Can you share the ffprobe output for that episode? Here is how https://www.audiobookshelf.org/guides/ffprobe#inspecting-an-audio-file
@Bigmack3000 commented on GitHub (Aug 16, 2024):
i appear to be missing the "more info" option.

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 16, 2024):
The table is on the page, not in the modal
@Bigmack3000 commented on GitHub (Aug 16, 2024):
I'm just trying to go off the link you posted. It shows a screenshot in the same place as mine.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 16, 2024):
It shows a screenshot of the audio tracks table on the books page
@Bigmack3000 commented on GitHub (Aug 16, 2024):
Sorry, the only screen the looks like that is the one i posted. is it because these are podcasts and not audiobooks?
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 16, 2024):
Yeah the podcasts page is slightly different. On the podcast page you scroll all the way to the bottom and the Library files there will have the more info option on audio files.
@Bigmack3000 commented on GitHub (Aug 16, 2024):
Got it!

You should be seeing a warning in your logs when it gets scanned in saying
Mapping pubDate with tag ${tagToUse} has invalid date "${value}"Because the date you are showing there is
2020-20-20which is an invalid date.@Bigmack3000 commented on GitHub (Aug 16, 2024):
interesting. any particular reason that's happening, when the file has the correct date in itunes?
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 17, 2024):
I'm not sure where itunes is getting that date unless they are falling back to the date you got it or it is linked to a podcast on itunes.
If the podcast has an RSS feed you can edit the podcast in Abs and add it. Then use the match feature to match episodes pulling in their data. Or the quick match all feature.
@Bigmack3000 commented on GitHub (Aug 17, 2024):
ok great thanks!
