Hello,

An interresting addition could be an option to specify the original recording date for video.

Youtube recently adds it in its API (recordingDetails.recordingDate), and Peertube natively has it if I recon clearly.

It may improve the comprehension for viewers, when you record multiple video in a row, and publish them one by one, sometimes there is frustration when they comments and see no action before some more videos :)

It may also help for preview video, if you upload on one platform some days before the other.

What the feature will be:

  • enabled by default
  • force --no-originaldate to disable
  • same date for peertube and youtube
  • Try to guess the date from the video using metadata? (not easy to use see next comment) or file last modification?
  • If not possible, use the upload date
  • Possibility to overwrite the date by using originaldate=DATE

For youtube, the recordingDate is a datetime value: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos?hl=fr#recordingDetails.recordingDate

Same than for publishAt, so we may reuse the conversion function.

For Peertube, we may use the originallyPublishedAt field: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html#tag/Video/paths/~1videos~1upload/post

Unfortunately, it seems there is no normalized format for metadata on video, so the existence of creation time in metadata depends totally of the recording software.

For example, OBS does not add it:

$ ffmpeg -i somevideo.mp4 -dump
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'somevideo.mp4':

I'll backup to the file modification date instead, more reliable, even if it may be inexact. In this case, the manual option to overwrite could be used.
