Tools and other software [Batch-Script] Music-Folder-Artist-Thumb-Creator (1 Viewer)

[bta489]

Hi there,

I created a little Batch-Script that I'd like to share. It scans your Music-Folder and creates Folder thumbs for your Artists-Folders using your Mediaportal Thumbs-Folder. Additionally, you can choose if all thumbnails should be set as hidden.

So your Music Folder that may look like this

might look like this


If the folder already contains a "folder.jpg"-File, it will be left unchanged. A log is created to keep track what the script did.

Instructions:
Save the .bat in your Music-Folder, run it and follow the instructions.
If you are using a custom Thumbs-Folder (other than "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Music\Artists") set it in the beginning of the .bat-File after "THUMBSFOLDER=" like this:

set THUMBSFOLDER=Q:\Some random\custom\path

.
You can also specify the Music-Folder in the .bat-File, so you can save the File somewhere else, in a similar fashion:

set MUSICFOLDER=M:\My Music Folder

For those two options please make sure that the path does not end with a backslash and is not encased in quotation-marks.

Spoiler: Source-Code

@echo off

:: Add the Path to your MediaPortal-Thumbsfolder (no backslash at the end)
set THUMBSFOLDER=
:: Add the Path to your Music-Folder  (no backslash at the end)
set MUSICFOLDER=
