Public bug reported: I have a Sony HDR-CX675 which produces MTS video files. When I add them to shotwell (version 0.28.2), the video files are added to the "No Event" category (if that is the right term). Other video file types such as MOV files are categorized into the correct event based on the media creation time. If I play any of my MTS videos with parole, the date and time are displayed on the video (I don't know why parole does this, but that's a separate issue. The point is that parole is able to figure out the date/time of the video, so shotwell should, too).
