Original description:
Today, GStreamer can't read the creation date/time from an MPEG TS video (typical extension is .MTS ; related file format is AVCHD. We'd like GStreamer to be able to do that so that we can switch to using GStreamer for metadata reading someday (see #2836 (closed)).

Hi, I have found a work around for now until this is fixed upstream.
If the files are being imported from a USB harddrive you can create a folder called DCIM on the root and put all the videos into it. Start Shotwell and import them as if they were coming from a camera. Shotwell will now successfully save them into the library with the correct creation date/time. (I'm guessing this is because it's using GPhoto rather then GStreamer?)
Just an FYI for anyone having this problem.
