XBMC DB Scripts - ventolin - 2013-10-05
Here are some scripts I threw together every now again to scratch itches I had with the XBMC database. https://github.com/kopf/xbmc-db-scripts
In order to use them, you'll need to be using a mysql backend to xbmc.
A short overview of the scripts:
* fix_thumbnails.py: Add thumbnails for artists that xbmc is aware of, but for some reason or another didn't link to the artist.
* fix_recently_added.py: Fix the order of 'recently added' music.
* ensure_smb_protocol_in_paths.py: Convert paths in the form '\\ip\share\file.avi' to 'smb://ip/share/file.avi' for cross-OS compatibility.
* import_foo_playcount_stats.py: Import statistics incrementally from foobar2000's foo_playcount plugin.
For much more information and instructions on running these scripts, see the README documentation in the repo: https://github.com/kopf/xbmc-db-scripts
Hope others find these tools useful!

Hi Ventoline
Thank you for sharing these....! They seem quite useful even though currently I do not have a need for them.
I did however run into an ordeal a few weeks ago that I managed to resolve by using media managers, and by having to re-scrape my movie libraries a few times. It was not easy to do and it basically ate 2 days of my time.
I have a huge library of movies and none of the actors had any thumbnails associated with them. I was wondering if a DB script could be done that basically cleans and adds these thumbnails as necessary. Something similar to your fix_thumbnails.py
Thanks again,
H.
