Original description:

Today, GStreamer can't read the creation date/time from an MPEG TS video
(typical extension is .MTS ; related file format is AVCHD. We'd like GStreamer
to be able to do that so that we can switch to using GStreamer for metadata
reading someday (see #2836).

Hi, I have found a work around for now until this is fixed upstream.

If the files are being imported from a USB harddrive you can create a folder
called DCIM on the root and put all the videos into it. Start Shotwell and
import them as if they were coming from a camera. Shotwell will now
successfully save them into the library with the correct creation date/time.
(I'm guessing this is because it's using GPhoto rather then GStreamer?)

Just an FYI for anyone having this problem.
