Description gomi2013 2015-08-10 00:37:41 UTC 
For photographs, digikam obtains the date that the photo was taken from the exif metadata of the image, and then falls back to using the creation date of the file if exif metadata is unavailable.
Currently it does not do the same for videos, it just uses the file creation date.
I suggest that it should scan the metadata of videos to obtain the creation date.
The following exiv2 tags could be looked for:

Xmp.video.DateTimeOriginal
Xmp.video.DateUTC
Xmp.video.ModificationDate
Xmp.video.DateTimeDigitized



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add a video file to an album
See what date digikam has assigned to it


Actual Results:  
Digikam uses the file creation date as reported by the operating system

Expected Results:  
If there is a creation date recorded in the video file's metadata, digikam should use that.

Veaceslav, 

I will patch libkexiv2 to support date extract with video file through common methods. I will backport as well this patch in Frameworks, but you must take a care with your new implementation of MetadatHub to add these tags in list of supported info to manage.
