You should probably check-out grilo.

That seems to be a bug in glib actually. Filed under

Well that depends. If they're in the file then those from the file are
used; if not, the mtime is used. I suppose "2009-10-11T10:17:55Z" is
originating from an mtime while "2009-08-02" from meta-data.

That should apply to both backends
