Can filebot change file created metadata to match release date in jellyfin?
Thanks in advance

PS: Please create a public thread if possible.
If you're using the Desktop application, then you can enable the Set creation date feature via

FileBot has no built-in way of talking to Jellyfin. Although what you want to do might be possible via a custom post-processing script we'd first have to figure out how to directly interface with Jellyfin and modify its internal database.

How did you run a test? I guess I was doing test runs in the editor using a previously renamed file as sample file. It has occurred to me that if you organize files with FileBot, then Jellyfin might need a while to refresh. We change the date added property on the item if the item hasn't been added yet. Please try the revised [Script] Set Jellyfin DateCreated property code. The code will now start by asking Jellyfin to refresh its libraries and then wait for 15 seconds. Hopefully that'll make it work right after Rename.Groovy: Select all
