mviplayer

This is a simple program to tidy up radio and TV shows downloaded from BBC iPlayer.

Example:

mviplayer *.m4a ~/Radio/

The tags from the m4a files are read and used to rename according to the pattern:

Show Name/sNN eMM Title of Episode.m4a

So in the example, I might end up with ~/Radio/The Goon Show/s07 e15 Wings Over Dagenham.m4a

To test how things will be renamed before renaming them, use the -t option.

To report verbosely what's done, use the -v option.

You can add custom rename rules if the default behavior doesn't work for particular shows. They are held in a file rules.json in ~/.config/mviplayer. Example:

[
  {"from": ":?\\s+Series\\s+\\d+", "to": ""},
  {"from": "Quanderhorn: Quanderhorn", "to": "Quanderhorn"}
]

The first rule renames anything called Show Name Series 2 (and so on) to just the show name.
