get_iplayer --pid b01r1vt2 --info
displays a lot of metadata including longdesc. That suggests
1. Vangelis is right that the online sources for metadata stay there
for good.
2. get_iplayer is able to retrieve metadata even when all streams for a
programme have ceased to be available.
If get_iplayer is able to retrieve metadata, it can pass it to Atomic
Parsley for tagging or re-tagging.
The wiki states,
"Re-tagging files
Metadata tags can be added (or re-added) to existing files with the
--tag-only option. Use --pid to identify the programme whose metadata is
to be used and --tag-only-filename to identify the file to modify."
Yours is not the only example of a "No media streams" warning when
trying to tag or re-tag a file when the streams have ceased to be
avaialable. There are much more recent examples.
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=m00076mg --tag-only
and for tv
get_iplayer --pid=b0b123j5 --tag-only
show similar warnings. This would appear to be a bug. As shown above,
--info shows that the streams are not needed to retrieve the metadata
for tagging. get_iplayer is checking for the existence of streams when
it does not need to.
You do need to give it a .mp4 or .m4a file to tag. As far as I can make
out, if the file still has the same name and path as when it was
downloaded and converted to .mp4 or .m4a there is no need to specify
--tag-only-filename. If you do specify it, the file name and path you
specify must exist. The "Cannot tag missing file:" warning is telling
you that the file does not exist.
Best wishes
