Video is classified as "Invalid date"

See original GitHub issue

Bug report

If running as a Docker container:

Thumbsup image tag: thumbsupgallery/thumbsup           latest              17aa8336028c
Docker version: Docker version 17.12.1-ce, build 7390fc6
Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

I’m still in testing stage. But I added a video from my iPhone. It was converted (codec copy) from MOV to MP4. This video is always classified as “Invalid date”. I tried enabling DEBUG mode, getting (a little bit) more info, but nothing useful. I also mapped localtime into the docker container (was unlikely but I tried anyway) without success.

Is there a way to get more info? How is the date from the video parsed? By moment.js? I could add some logs into the code and rerun it again. But I would like to have advice first.

Best regards,

Benedict

Hi, thanks a lot for all this troubleshooting. You’re right you found the issue, for now thumbsup assumes that if Exiftool returns a date then it must be valid. I had never seen 0000:00:00 00:00:00 until now.

I’ll add a check to make sure the date is valid shortly (moment.isValid). Then it will automatically fall back to using the file name (when applicable) or file modification date if needed.

Thanks!
