By the way, I looked at a lot of front ends: Hyperspin, Gameex, etc, and in the end, nothing beats XBMC + RCB for ease of use and stability.

So if i leave my pc on rcb and have library auto update go off or i also use the scheduler to automate cdart program, it does not seem to work. It works fine outside rcb, but whenever your in rcb no automated script seem to work properly. THe log shows it launches but then does nothing. If your outside rcb the scripts work fine?

Oh, and when RCB extracts a game from .7z or .zip, where does it put it? Does it delete it immediately after it's done? I'd rather it leave it there until I say delete it since I'm going to be playing it several times and would rather not have it constantly extracting and writing to my drive.

Put this in a text file with a batch extension

Code:

@echo off
for %%f in ("C:\test2\*.jpg","C:\test2\*.png") do (
if NOT exist "%%~df%%~pf%%~nf.zip" (if NOT exist "%%~df%%~pf%%~nf.rar" (
del "%%~ff"
)
)
)

Change path accordingly

If you need to see the files that are being deleted for any reason use this one instead

Code:

@echo off
for %%f in ("C:\test2\*.jpg","C:\test2\*.png") do (
if NOT exist "%%~df%%~pf%%~nf.zip" (if NOT exist "%%~df%%~pf%%~nf.rar" (
del "%%~ff" in echo "%%~ff"
)
)
)

I like this. I'd be very interested in knowing what other batch tricks you have.

All I get is box front and back on initial scrape. I then have to either go game by game or do delete games only from remove collection. After that, I import the games with interactive and disable all trackers but thegamedb and it gets the rest of the artwork.

It's quicker than going to the site and searching game by game, but does anyone know why it doesn't just pick them up on its own?
