Reproduction steps

1. Upload the video
2. Look at the metadata (and see that it's non existent)
3.
...

Additional information

Also interestingly enough, if I upload the videos trough the Immich app on iOS, the metadata is processed correctly but the video doesn't show up in the timeline on the web (in the app it does) unless I go into search and the videos folder, where I can see the video and watch them after they have been transcoded.

What is the year of the videos that don't show up?

Well, look like ExifTool also sees the same date, so looks like it's not an Immich problem. But how come Apple and Windows photos show the correct data?

Nevermind. I was able to find an exact copy of the file where the efix data is correct and immich for some reason show the modification date and not the creation date.
