I am working on the same exact problem and I have no idea why it doesn't
work. My guess is that maybe there might be another way of updating the
properties like using the POST or PUT method but since I'm just learning
about them I am quite lost on how to make them work.
So here are some interesting observations I have made:
1) When changing properties of a photo a copy is made
2) everything so far that I've tested changes except the time stamp
This is what I've tried (p==photo):
p.exif.time=gdata.exif.Time(text='110177280000')
p.timestamp=gdata.photos.Timestamp(text='110177280000')
p=gd_client.UpdatePhotoMetadata(p)
I think you need set photo.timestamp to a timestamp type but I am not sure.
Also, I've set both exif.time and the photo.timestamp to the same value
since I read that they should theoretically be the same even though when I
read some mp4 file exif.time data I think none of them contained exif.time
data. The image files did contain both exif.time and photo.timestamp data.
Not sure that this will be relevant but I hope you get more ideas because
I'm running out of things to try.
