Sony Video-Sidecar not detected

[mirisbowring]

Hi,

I have a Sony a6500 and wanted to upload the latest videos from the last holidays.
I am using the Immich Bulk Upload tool which should be able to support xmp upload:
#2587

The camera creates the Files with the following scheme:

C0001.MP4
C0001M01.XML

I've created a script that renames all metadata sidecars to:

C0001.MP4
C0001.MP4.xmp

After the upload, I checked the video but the metadata (like location) is not there:

I checked the filesystem on the server:

As you can see, the sidecar got uploaded (yay).

How can i get Immich to recognize this sidecar?

I already executed the DISCOVER and SYNC jobs but nothing changed.

The content of the XML looks like this:

Any Ideas?

I don't think that's a valid XMP file

[mirisbowring]

Oh, any way that files like this will be supported in future?

How would a valid xmp look like instead?

Random example off google: https://github.com/CrossRef/pdfmark/blob/master/test-data/random-xmp-example.xmp

It looks like some custom format that sony came up with so I don't know if it's worth it for us to support that.
