setting date/time tags from a date embedded in the file name

[matthi]

Hello,

i try to set date and time from the file name with this code, but it is not working. The file names like this (IMG_20210101_124523.jpg)

Code Select Expand

/usr/bin/exiftool "-datetimeoriginal<filename" /volume1/import
or

Code Select Expand

/usr/bin/exiftool "-alldates<filename" /volume1/import

But another code works fine for me.

Code Select Expand

/usr/bin/exiftool "-filename<CreateDate" -d "/volume1/photo/Import/%Y-%m/%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S%%-c.%%le" -r /volume1/photo/out

So i need your help for the first problem, thx

In what way is it not working?  What is the full output when you run that command? 

What is the output of this command after your run "-datetimeoriginal<filename"
exiftool -time:all -g1 -a -s "-datetimeoriginal<filename" IMG_20210101_124523.jpg
