When the files of movies and episodes are modified on disk and scanned again by Jellyfin, the “date added” field is modified.
This means that old items jump to the top of the Recently Added list, which I find annoying.
For this reason I’ve written this script, which detects these changes and sets the date to the previous value. It can be installed with docker and is simple to configure.

Really wish Jellyfin used a hash like Plex does to determine if a file is preexisting or was moved. It’s one downside to the server implementation. Just because a file moves doesn’t mean I want it to lose it’s metadata.
