Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Timestamp 'rx_time' in Metadata

rx_time is the time something upstream was received. This could be the
time of the first sample received by a USRP:

https://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/classgr_1_1uhd_1_1usrp__source.html#a8ba918061af928ee7c01e7124580eb82

rx_time could also be the time a packet was received, or could be set by
other blocks.

There is a utility called gr_read_file_metadata that installs with GR,
but I haven't tried it yet.
