Script to automatically create folder.jpg images for your series (1 Viewer)

[RoChess]

If you add episodes to existing shows, then in worst case you miss episode thumbnail and episode summary. You can compensate for that by using the MP-TVSeries option to download entire season info ahead of time. Then at the times TheTVdB has issues MP-TVSeries already has all the required info. And if not then it will simply add episodes as "Episode 15" and alike.

If something does not work to your satisfaction, simply ask for your money back then. Guess that won't work well, because you got everything free of charge. It still costs money to keep everything running, and in TheTVdB case it costs a lot of money for hosting/bandwidth. Without donations they can only do so much. Maybe you can provide them with $100,000 a month so they can purchase an account with Akamai for super fast and reliable content delivery. Microsoft and Apple were not even able to keep their servers up and running regarding Windows Update and iTunes so they ended up using Akamai as well.

Request for someone with better programming skills to improve on this (@jmcentire ?)
Someone with better programming knowledge could probably improve on this by querying the tv series database.
1. The script would first ask what the tvseries root/main folder(s) are.
2. It would go through every episode in the database
3. If the episode's directory was a direct subdirectory of the tvseries root folder then it would save the series poster as folder.jpg in that directory.
4. If the episode's directory was not a direct subdirectory of the root folder it would save the season poster as folder.jpg in that directory AND it would save the series poster in the parent directory of that episodes directory.

I developed those skills :-p
