Bug ID: 448058
Summary: Elisa mishandles Vorbis date fields
Product: Elisa
Version: 21.12.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: matthieu_gall...@yahoo.fr
Reporter: xnagyti...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The Vorbis metadata format used in Ogg stuff like Vorbis, FLAC, Opus, etc uses
the ISO 8601 date format. Elisa currently mishandles these date fields if they
have more than just the year part.
List of Vorbis date field formats I have encountered in the wild: "YYYY-MM-DD",
"YYYYMMDD", "YYYY-MM", "YYYY"
If Vorbis dates have hyphens like "YYYY-MM-DD", Elisa truncates the date only
to the year part, causing precision loss.
If Vorbis dates have no hyphens like "YYYYMMDD", Elisa takes the whole date
string and interprets it as a year. For example today's date would place a song
20 million years into the distant future, into Year 20,220,107. This causes
issues when you'd like to sort tracks by year. This case can easily be
encountered by using youtube-dl or one of its forks with the '--add-metadata'
flag.
