Hey,
im running small batch files on my HTPC on resume to handle stuff like backups and starting epg grabbing. I thought i would share them. Also i think its a nice idea to start a thread where everybody can share their batchfiles, so when somebody is looking for a specific solution they can find it here.

I hope others will add their batch scripts here aswell, and i will then link them directly in this post. Please dont add them as files, but as text in code tags.

Batch Scripts:

• - Allow to start a batch file only once a day
  Spoiler

  @echo off 
  set LastDate=C:\LastDate.txt 
  set TempDate=C:\Date.tmp 
  
  if exist %TempDate% exit
        
  echo %date%>%TempDate%
  fc %TempDate% %LastDate% >nul
  if %ERRORLEVEL%==1 goto NewDay
  goto End
        
  :NewDay 
  :: What to do
        
  :End
  move %TempDate% %LastDate%
  exit

• - Backup Files (e.g. Mediaportal Databases)
  Spoiler

  :: Backing up everything from D:, and keeping the backups for 7 days.
  xcopy D:\*.* D:\temp\ /y/q
  FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=:" %%d IN ('date /t') DO set dat=%%d
  FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=:" %%i IN ('time /t') DO set zeit=%%i-%%j
  rename D:\temp "Backup %dat%%zeit%"
  FOR /F "skip=7 tokens=*" %%c IN ('DIR /O-D /B D:\"Backup *"') DO (rd D:\"%%c" /s/q)

• - Start WebGrab++ and keep TVServer from going crazy

I use Ember Media Manager to scrape nfos and fanart for my TV shows. I also like to download clearart and clearlogos directly from fanart.tv to select the ones I like best and save them to the show folders. Then the XBMC clients are able to find them.
So I wrote a batch file to copy those cleararts and clearlogos to the MePo thumbs folder. The files have to be renamed to the show id which is read from tvshow.nfo in the show folder.

Make a backup of your current cleararts and clearlogos from

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\ClearArt\
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\ClearLogo\
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\TVSeries\ClearArt\
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\TVSeries\ClearLogo\

as those are overwritten without question.

@echo off
set thumbspath=C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs

IF exist "%thumbspath%\ClearArt\Series" ( echo %thumbspath%\ClearArt\Series exists ) ELSE ( mkdir "%thumbspath%\ClearArt\Series" && echo %thumbspath%\ClearArt\Series created )
IF exist "%thumbspath%\ClearLogo\Series" ( echo %thumbspath%\ClearLogo\Series exists ) ELSE ( mkdir "%thumbspath%\ClearLogo\Series" && echo %thumbspath%\ClearLogo\Series created )
IF exist "%thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearArt\FullSize" ( echo %thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearArt\FullSize exists ) ELSE ( mkdir "%thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearArt\FullSize" && echo %thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearArt\FullSize created )
IF exist "%thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearLogo\FullSize" ( echo %thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearLogo\FullSize exists ) ELSE ( mkdir "%thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearLogo\FullSize" && echo %thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearLogo\FullSize created )

set seriesfolder=%~dp0

for /D %%G in (*) do (
    pushd %%G
    set series=%%G
    REM if %cd%==%seriesfolder% goto :eof
    call :getid
)

:getid
FOR /F "tokens=1-2 delims=<>, " %%I in (tvshow.nfo) do (
    REM echo %%I
    if %%I==id (
        set tvshowid=%%J
        goto :copying
    )
)

:copying
echo ID for %series% is %tvshowid%. Copying images.
copy "clearart.png" "%thumbspath%\clearart\Series\%tvshowid%.png"
copy "logo.png" "%thumbspath%\clearlogo\Series\%tvshowid%.png"
copy "clearart.png" "%thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearArt\FullSize\%tvshowid%.png"
copy "logo.png" "%thumbspath%\TVSeries\ClearLogo\FullSize\%tvshowid%.png"
popd

:eof
cd %~dp0

And I have another batch file to backup my local fanart (all png and jpg files from the show folder). The backup folder can be set in the second line:

Spoiler

@echo off
set backuppath=C:\fanartbkp

IF exist "%backuppath%" ( echo %backuppath% exists ) ELSE ( mkdir "%backuppath%" && echo %backuppath% created )

set seriesfolder=%~dp0

for /D %%G in (*) do (
    pushd %%G
    set series=%%G
    REM if %cd%==%seriesfolder% goto :eof
    call :copying
)

:copying
echo Copying images for %series%.
IF exist "%backuppath%\%series%\" ( echo %backuppath%\%series%\ exists ) ELSE ( mkdir "%backuppath%\%series%\" && echo %backuppath%\%series%\ created )
copy "*.png" "%backuppath%\%series%\"
copy "*.jpg" "%backuppath%\%series%\"
popd

:eof
cd %~dp0

Both batch files are meant to be run from your base TV show path, it should be like that:

TV Shows
|----TV Show 1
| |--clearart.png
| |--logo.png
|----TV Show 2
| |--files
|----fanart.bat
|----fanart-backup.bat

And those batch files do not like to be run from UNC paths. So your folder has to be mounted as a network drive at least temporarily.
