Virtual camera - required metadata

I am trying to import various video files as a virtual camera.  If a video does not have the timestamp metadata, I am trying to add it in using FFMPEG.  Can you provide which specific metadata items are required for the video to be displayed? 

 

I got around the timestamp error, but now the video does not display. The timeline shows the correct time/date, but the video will not playback.

 

If I open the video by dragging it into the grid, it plays, so the CODEC is playable.  

Thanks.

  Here is an example video. When you try to import it it give a no timestamp metadata error.

  Then I tried to use FFMPEG to copy metadata from one file to another, and it imported but won't play.

  Hello Aaron Saks,

   Can you provide which specific metadata items are required for the video to be displayed? 

  A file should have metadata (TAG) named "creation_time" with "ISO date" string format.
  For examples: 2022-06-07T16:00:31Z
