            Bug ID: 484758
           Summary: Displayed dates on Metadata panels come from different
                    dates found in a video file from Ricoh GR II
                    (inconsistency ?)
    Classification: Applications
           Product: digikam
           Version: 8.4.0
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata-Date
          Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: mcfaro...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The video file attached comes from a Ricoh GR II. Dumping the file with
exiftool, we can see :
[QuickTime] Create Date : 2024:03:30 14:34:12

But we can see also dates that does not exist in smartphone mp4 videos (at
least on videos fromPixel 5 and Moto G6) :
[IFD0] Modify Date : 2024:03:30 14:34:10
[ExifIFD] Date/Time Original : 2024:03:30 14:34:10
[ExifIFD] Create Date : 2024:03:30 14:34:10

As you can check, they are not the same date as QuickTime date (2 sec less). I
don't care about the reason of this difference but I was curious how Digikam
will handle that. We could assume that it will choose one of the two sources
and use it everywhere but it is not the case :
- all dates displayed into Metadata XMP and IPTC panels are 2024:03:30 14:34:12
- all dates displayed into Exif panel are 2024:03:30 14:34:10

NB. Dates into XMP-Exif-specific Properties sub-panel are 2024:03:30 14:34:12,
that is consistent with the others XMP dates displayed but not with the ones
displayed into the Exif panel.

I have no idea what would the right solution or even if one is needed since I
am not sure there are use cases which could be impacted by that.
