- Issue: Emby displays DateCreated field which gets updated on metadata refresh
- Root cause: Emby ignores <dateadded> but reads <aired> for TV episodes
- Solution: Write import date to <aired> field instead of actual air date
- Emby will now display import date (Feb 19) instead of scan date (Sep 11)
- Maintains backward compatibility with fallback to actual air date
