Fix 2016 Recording Date

After some time with empty batteries, correct date and time on a Gopro are lost. Make sure to connect it to Quik to set the correct time before you record.

If it is too late and recordings have the wrong times, Eye of Gnome can show the GPS time of JPGs which usually still is correct (no idea why Gopro doesn't use it to set time).

Time difference is then (GPSDateStamp + GPSTimeStamp) - DateTime

To fix the issue easily I wrote a python script which uses the great exiftool. See https://gist.github.com/joba-1/bdff43371dee7e23f536e7da5e373116

• use a JPG to calculate time difference between GPSDateTime and DateTime
• extract date from media files and add time diff
