Thanks for the help and the hint. I now found a solution which is, if not fully automatic, at least less tedious than doing everything manually. I found a small free command line tool called FileTouch which simply sets the file dates of a given file. I use FileBot to rename the files with [{airdate ...

Once XBMC recognizes each episode it also knows the airdate from the tvdb data. There should be a sort mode for that. As long as you got seriesname/sxe XBMC can do the rest within it's own database. True and that's what I have always relied on when making smart lists. I just switched to Frodo which ...

Not supported then. FileBot only sets CreationDate if supported, but does not touch LastModified. CreationDate is generally not supported on Linux filesystems. Windows and Mac have LastModified and CreationDate, Linux only has LastModified file attributes so it doesn't work on Linux-based devices ...

I just tried r1653. Same problem, both from gui and command line. Works on local drive, not on the NAS and I get the same output as before with the xattr.

Ah, great. So that was the problem. Thanks, I'll give it a try when I come home later today

One NAS is A d-link dns-343 and the other is a NETGEAR Stora MS2110 both of them running linux. However, as mentioned above, with another program, SetFileDate I can easily alter the dates of the files on both NAS.

I get on both my NAS

After some further experimenting, I realized that the problem is that my shows are stored on a NAS. If I copy some shows to my SSD on my PC, the creation date will be set correctly to the aired date. The question is, can I make it work on my NAS? I have a utility to set the dates of files manually ...

I'm running FileBot (3.61) on Windows 7 64-bit. I'm using the windows installer version. I have been trying to get FileBot to set the file creation date to the episode air date for TV shows. I read on the site that you need to set -DuseExtendedFileAttributes=true and -DuseNativeShell=true to enable ...
