ok a guy on oxbox-scene forums ;blittan; threw this together for me and im having a little bit of trouble getting it to work, i figured id ask here first since hes busy workin on another project and i dont wanna be a neusance.

this is to make shortcuts for whatever emulator specified for all the roms in the rompath, but it just dies as soon as its launched nothing happens, any help?

Code:

import xbmc, xbmcgui, os

# this needs to be changed to the emulator you want the cut for (remember \\ is one \)
emulator = "F:\\emulators\\snes\\default.xbe"
#path to the roms (takes all files)
romPath = "F:\\emulators\\snes\\roms"
# path to thumbnail, otherwise it will use a thumbnail named like the rom (EG: myrom.zip -> myrom.tbn)
thumb = "E:\\Zsnexbox\\prev"

# # # DON'T CHANGE UNDER THIS

def savecut(cut,label,game,thumb):
    f = open(cut, "wb")
    f.write("<shortcut>\n")
    f.write("    <path>"+emulator+"</path>\n")
    f.write("    <thumb>"+thumb+"</thumb>\n")
    f.write("    <label>"+label+"</label>\n")
    f.write("    <custom>\n")
    f.write("       <game>"+game+"</game>\n")
    f.write("    </custom>\n")
    f.write("</shortcut>\n")
    f.close()

def listdir(tdir):
    global thumb
    dl = os.listdir(tdir)
    for ret in dl:
        if os.path.isdir(tdir+ret):
            listdir(tdir+ret)
        else:
            if ret != 'list.py':
                label = ret[:-4]
                cut = tdir+label+".cut"
                if thumb == '':
                    thumb = tdir+label+".tbn"
                game = tdir+ret
                savecut(cut,label,game,thumb)

listdir(romPath)
XBMC.Notification('DONE','Shortcuts created')

any help would be appreciated

Do you get a errormessage by pressing the white button in Scripts Window?

[grudge]

no im not getting an error message , just a blank screen. maybe this just is not working with the newest xbmc build?

has anyone else gotten it to work?

maybe i got it in the wrong folder or something..... scripts dir

ok now ive gotten it to work.... it was just saving the files to the roms folder.... plus i had to change the way it saved the <thumb> line....
