I have a python script designed to change the timestamp on videos (since
Google Photos uploader uploads them with the wrong dates) and it works
perfectly to change all the fields *except* for the timestamp.
Unfortunately, it took me a long to realize this must be a server-side bug.
Here's an excerpt for reference:
print "Getting list of Albums..."
albums = gd_client.GetUserFeed()
for album in albums.entry:
print "Getting list of", album.numphotos.text, "photos in Album",
album.title.text
if album.title.text == 'Test':
photos =
gd_client.GetFeed('/data/feed/api/user/default/albumid/%s?kind=photo' %
(album.gphoto_id.text))
for photo in photos.entry:
print ' Photo:', photo.title.text
if photo.title.text and photo.timestamp.text and photo.size.text:
if photo.title.text in filenames.keys():
print "Filename match for", photo.title.text
if int(photo.size.text) in filenames[photo.title.text].keys():
print " ...and a size match for ", photo.title.text
print " Existing date is ", photo.timestamp.text
print " Local date is ",
filenames[photo.title.text][int(photo.size.text)]['date']
photo.summary.text = u'a test';
newtime = "%i" %
(int(filenames[photo.title.text][int(photo.size.text)]['date'])*1000)
photo.timestamp.text = str(newtime)
print " New db date will be", photo.timestamp.text,
try:
photo = gd_client.UpdatePhotoMetadata(photo)
print " New date submitted to Google",
photo.timestamp.text,
except:
print " **Update failed...**"
pass
else:
print "Debug: Found photo",photo.title.text,"with no title,
timestate and/or size. Skipping..."
