I have a video file with an xmp.

INFO[2020-11-17T03:26:12Z] index: added main mp4 file “iPhone David/2019/2019-07 July iPhone/IMG_4938.mp4”
DEBU[2020-11-17T03:26:12Z] metadata: original name IMG_4938.mp4.xmp does not match IMG_4938.mp4 (exiftool)

INFO[2020-11-17T03:26:12Z] index: added related xmp file IMG_4938.mp4.xmp

Where the XMP has:

         </lr:hierarchicalSubject>
      </rdf:Description>
   </rdf:RDF>
</x:xmpmeta>

But all I see in the photoprism site is the following:

no country - even though latitude and longitude.
No keywords which is what i'd hope the hierarchicalSubject was for.

Can I get some pointers on how this should work?

We only have a proof of concept for importing data from xmp files. What is currently possible is mentioned here https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/metadata/xmp/.
