How do I use mp4 tags to rename files?
Posted: 09 May 2021, 09:39
I had ripped Red Dwarf to my iTunes library. I'd never got around to naming them, but they were correctly marked in iTunes by season and episode. Anyway, I lost my iTunes library database, am moving now to Plex, and hoping for FileBot to help dig me out of the mess.
Anyway, FileBot isn't helping me much in this case, because it isn't looking at mp4 meta data. I don't know how it guesses when the name isn't correct, but it looks random. If I look at the tags in my season 1 for example...
All the data filebot would need to get this right is there, but it's not being used.

Code: Select all
for i in *; do mp4tag --show-tags "$i"; done
