When was the calendar icon and release date added to the info field on movies? - CaptainTivo - 2023-12-10

Somehow I just noticed that in the default Estuary skin in Matrix there is a "calendar" icon followed by the release date of the movie.
I notice because some of my movies have the icon and some don't. It looks like movies added after some time in 2018 the icon appears and before
that they don't. Was this added to the database at some point? If I refresh a movie that does not have the icon, then the icon appears, so I am assuming
it is a field in the database that is just not there on these movies?

Also, if I refresh the entire database, will I have any other problems that I should know about? My earliest movies were added about 10 years ago.
Thanks. Just curious.

At a complete random guess, I would suggest that the icon works with entries using <premiered> style date, which is yyyy-mm-dd and not working for movies using deprecated <year> style of yyyy

==Edit==
Just tested it and confirmed the above is correct.
If you know your way around SQL, you can check the last column in the movie table of the MyVideos database

Got it. So refreshing the movie adds the "premier" column. If I purge and refresh the entire database, that should fill them all in right?
I've never done that before, only refreshed individual movies as needed. The catch is that I rip entire DVD/Blurays and many have 2 or more disk (for extras, etc) so I have custom .nfo files to put them into "sets". Since the NFO structure has changed, these may not work any more. Maybe I'll try and refresh a few and see what happens.
Thanks again.

Post the content of one nfo file to Kodi Paste Site and I can check it.
Do you have local artwork also?

How many movies need updating?

They all look like this:
movie.nfo

<movie>
   <title>The Adventures of Robin Hood</title>
   <set>The Adventures of Robin Hood Set</set>
   <sorttitle>1</sorttitle>
</movie>
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029843/

The other disks have the same but with <sorttitle>2</sorttitle> for the second disk.
