Powershell script to move Recorded TV (1 Viewer)

MediaPortal Version: 1.1.2

Windows Version: Windows 7 64bit

Hi all,

This is my first script which I have written for mediaportal, but thought I would share it as it may help others!
Basically my setup is HTPC in living room with smallish HDD and NAS with Lots of HDD's.
As I use Freesat and the only sockets into the house are near the HTPC that is my main server / client setup and due to the case I can't move my HDD into it.

So following the advise in another thread I have setup two Recorded (using the IPTV as the second recorded TV location).
** BTW I tried to setup my recorded TV to be on my NAS but it refused to record anything **

I have written the following which needs to be input into a powershell script. - I think you can save it into a txt file and then rename it to .ps1

The Powershell script needs to be edited with your own location for Start location / and end locations.

You need the the guide set up to have Film: infront of any description i.e. "Film: The Incredibles" as it uses the Film: to find out if it a film or not.

I have the powershell script linked to a BAT file so that I can run it via windows task scheduler at 3 am and 3pm. - If anyone has a better way to run this please let me know (I did try to link it to the comskiplauncher but it did not appear to work) - I can provide the BAT code to run this if needed!

Hopefully this will work for some of you...

Cheers
Phil

Hi,

I have re-written the script slightly so that it now takes into TV Series you already have on your PC.

Code:

# Move Recorded TS Files to other locations

# Owner : Philip Bath
# Version : 0.3
# Notes : Set the StartLocation, FilmLocation and OtherLocation
# Notes1 : You can also turn on / off (1 = on, 0 = off) to delete the XML files that will be left
#         In the recordedTV location, off means it will be left as is
# Notes2 : You can input the location of your TVSeriesLocation - This will ensure only series that you have in your
#         Collection will be moved.
#         Leave as "" if you don't want to use this feature

$StartLocation = "C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\" # "C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\"
$FilmLocation = "\\NAS\VideoDownloads\"
$OtherLocation = "\\NAS\VideoDownloads\"
$TVSeriesLocation = "\\NAS\Videos\TV Shows\"
$DeleteFilm = 1
$DeleteOther = 1

# Build an array of the .TS files

$TVShowlist = Get-ChildItem -Path $TVSeriesLocation | where {$_.mode -match "d"}
$TSlist = Get-ChildItem -Path $StartLocation | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*.ts"}
$Alllist = Get-ChildItem -Path $StartLocation | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*.xml"}

# If the TSList is empty then stop here
    if (!$TSlist) 
    {
    }
    else
    {
        foreach ($TSfile in $TSlist)
        {
            # Check to see if the file starts with Film_
            if ($TSfile.Name.IndexOf("Film_") -ne -1)
            {
                foreach ($Allfile in $Alllist)
