The bug

I try to fix some date / coordinates errors by providing xmp files with correct data either calling the API
importFile or by placing the xmp file beside the mp4 file. (#3875)

The date and GPS are always taken from the mp4 file.

When launching the job for sidecars, the log show a warning:

The server doesn't find the sidecar:
Error: File not found - /usr/src/app/upload/library/admin/2036/2036-01-02/20161119_213334.mp4.xmp

But when running container shell, we can see it:

docker exec -it immich_server sh

We're in the process of moving videos to use exiftool for sourcing exif data. This will enable sidecar files for videos as well.
