AtomicParsley is a lightweight command line program for reading, parsing and setting metadata into MPEG-4 files, in particular, iTunes-style metadata. It is useful to edit tags for movies,tv-shows and music-video's (.m4v), audio (.m4a) and ringtones (.m4r).
The original code v0.9.0, which was last updated in 2006 is located here: atomicparsley.sf.net.
For my project, I have forked the latest version I could find, dated 2014, from Dan Drusch. In 2019 I have manually merged new updates from sourceforge.
My instructions below are for OSX only; sorry.
I am now building using Xcode v9.4.1.
Under the Releases tab, you find a binary executable, signed with my developer account. To run it, allow "App Store and identified developers" in the "Security & Privacy" control panel.
Now that I'm using Xcode, the instructions below for a command-line build are not used.
I keep them here for reference- to show how this sourcec-code archive was created.
- Logon to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
- Under "Developer Tools" download Xcode
- Under "Developer Tools" download Xcode command line tools (matching for your OS)
