As I'm rebuilding by Ubuntu/XBMC media centre, I am looking at configuring get_iplayer again, so have a few questions:
1. Thumbnail tagging options. As far as I can tell MP4 (from .flv) are tagged using AtomicParsley provided the "thumb = 1" is in the options file. However, that still leaves the actual thumbnail file in the directory as well, which seems a bit wasteful. Is there anyway of getting get_iplayer to remove the separate thumbnail file. I think that this would require a post processing file using the "-c"/"--command" command line option or in options file "command filename". Similarly can the thumbnail be added to radio programmes. Although the thumbnail can be downloaded, it isn't added to the file. This is an issue which I have looked at before: http://linuxcentre.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=152 But, I couldn't see a solution which would work for both .mp3 and .aac audiofile. Again I'm thinking that a more complex post processing solution is required. Suggestions welcome. 2. Removal of non Windows compatible characters from file names I'm storing my media on an external NTFS formatted drive, so characters such ":" can't be used. Is there any way of ensuring the file names are Windows NTFS compatible? 3. Emailling I have almost worked out how to get emails sent to myself with the results of searches, so here it is for information: get_iplayer --html test.html news cat - > test.msg To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Subject: iplayer Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Ctrl-D cat test.msg test.html > test1.msg ssmtp [email protected] < test1.msg It should be possible to wrap this up in a cron job along with the pvr runs.
