Are there any tagging options other than long / short versions?

I ask because my media collection follows most standard conventions of
\showname\season\ssxee filename that media browser / media center master etc
use

e.g. for The Killing, Series 2, episode 1, I need "\The
Killing\Season2\02x01 The Killing.mp4"

At the moment I get something close, but not what I need, i.e.
\showname:season\ee filename

So, in the above example, this reads "\The Killing:Series 1\01 The
Killing.mp4"

Do you mean that you are you using a media manager to rename your downloaded files from the tags embedded by AtomicParsley? If so, which one? There isn't an option for get_iplayer to embed a shorter version of the show name. As always, feel free to add one, though you could also just change the tag value in your media manager before renaming the files. If your media manager can't change tag values or can't rename files, you should be able to make a small hack to get_iplayer to get the value you want.

If you're looking for a way to rename files without the aid of a media manager, you can either use get_iplayer options to control the path and names of output files, or use an external command to rename files after download. With your desired format, the only limitation with using get_iplayer's options is that I don't think there is a way to automatically add zero-padding to series and episode numbers. Of course, that doesn't address tag values, but I'm not sure if that's the problem you're trying to solve.
