Help with a script to delete TBN files?

[element6]

Hey guys, I was trying to use TBN files in my game directories for nice looking banners, but they don't look right with Confluence so I've decided to scrap that idea.

I've got a default.tbn file in all of my game directories on the F and G drives. There are a lot.

Tried the following script and it fails. Not sure what I'm doing wrong:

Code: Select all

import os
dir = "F:\"
files = os.listdir(dir)
for file in files:
    if file.endswith(".tbn"):
        os.remove(os.path.join(dir,file))

Running the latest stable version of XBMC4Xbox (I think) 3.5.3-r33027

I haven't tried your script just yet, but I believe os.listdir() returns entries only in the specified path, I believe you want os.walk() see its documentation and an example below: https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.13/ ... lk#os.walk

As to the error, you can see details about the error / stacktrace in Q:\xbmc.log (or ftp://YOURXBOXIP/Q/xbmc.log in any web browser).

Code: Select all

import os
dir = "F:\\"
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(dir):
	for name in files:
		if name.endswith(".tbn"):
			print (os.path.join(root,name))
			os.remove(os.path.join(root,name))

Thank you Dan and Rocky.

The script Rocky5 posted worked great. Took care of all the tbn files.

I had to run the script twice for the F drive. I checked the log and it took it's good old time running through everything. Also threw a random error but either way it got the job done and I no longer have any tbn files in there!Probably just too many directories at once for the os.walk function or for the limited RAM in the xbox.

Thank you again!

Well done! Btw, I haven't mentioned a program plugin I wrote a while ago that clears TBN cache for you - should be available through the addons installer coming with latest versions of XBMC4Xbox (see Thumbnails). http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/addons/

That's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification!
