Enhancement Request: Option to remove eg ": Series 1" in Programme Title for iTunes #102

When downloading programmes from BBC (possibly ITV as well, I don't download from there), the Programme title always comes with ": Series x" after the title. This is annoying for downloading programmes which have multiple series, as they show up as different programmes.

I wish there was an option to remove this automatically so eg "Big Cats: Series 1" just added to iTunes as Big Cats

Using latest GiA and latest OS X.

Oh yes.. I have the same issue. I don't know when GIP started doing this, but it is annoying; really annoying. I'm going to look at the source to GIP to see if this is something that's easy to do myself, but I don't know if it's something that can be merged in unless it's in the official get_iplayer tree and not just the automator branch.

[ 5 hours later ] Did some looking, and the bit that needs changing is when it compares the "brand" (i.e. base) of the title to the series retrieved. If they're different, it adds them together and hence we get 'xxx: series nn'. It's literally a one line change. However, I'm not sure about getting it rolled into the official release of get_iplayer. For those that want to change it: Around line 4437 change the line

    $name = "$brand: $series";
to
    $name = $brand;
