One query.
If I download a thumbnail as described (after the event) to replace a grey
rectangle, can I / how do I then merge it with the original downloaded
mp4?
Hello, Trevor.
You can use the CLI MP4 tagger AtomicParsley, already part of the
get_iplayer installation.
You mention nothing about the type & version of your OS, I can only speak
about Windows x86.
The AtomicParsley executable is found inside GiP's installation folder, in
my case:
C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\AtomicParsley\AtomicParsley.exe
First, do back-up your MP4 file, especially if it's an expired programme, in
case something goes awry...
Open a command prompt window inside the AtomicParsley folder (for Vista and
higher, keep SHIFT pressed
and right click on the folder; from the context menu, choose "Open Command
Window Here").
If you run:
Atomicparsley "/path/to[file_with_grey_thumbnail.mp4]" --artwork
REMOVE_ALL --overWrite
the grey thumbnail will be removed.
Then,
Atomicparsley "/path/to[file_with_no_thumbnail.mp4]" --artwork
"/path/to[correct_thumbnail.jpg]" --overWrite
will produce an MP4 file with the correct thumbnail embedded.
(the procedure also works for M4A audio files - I myself was hit once by
this "grey thumbnail" bug on a Radio 2 programme... )
(NB: --overWrite is with a capital W).
Hope I've helped :-)
