I'm trying to run this specific python script to create .m3u files inside subfolders but it's not working and give me an error, any help is welcome. The m3u file is a simple tracklist of the subfolder content with specified extensions and named after the subfolder, like this (extensions .aaa and .bbb are just examples):
- Folder 1 (contains 'File 1.aaa', 'File 2.aaa', etc)
Folder 1.m3u generated inside Folder 1 with this list
File 1.aaa
File 2.aaa
- Folder 2 (contains 'File 1.bbb', 'File 2.bbb', etc)
Folder 2.m3u generated inside Folder 2 with this list
File 1.bbb
File 2.bbb
Here is the script called makem3u.py (not mine, I don't know much about python):
#!/usr/bin/python
"""This script will create an m3u file with a tracklist of each .aaa or .bbb
found in a subdirectory, then name the m3u after the subdirectory. This helps
with multiple disks for emulation.
"""
import os
import os.path
EXT = ['.aaa', '.bbb']
cwd = os.getcwd()
dirs = os.listdir(cwd)
for d in dirs:
contents = os.listdir(os.path.join(cwd, d))
disks = [
os.path.join(d, f) for f in os.listdir(os.path.join(cwd, d))
if os.path.splitext(f)[-1] in EXT
]
if disks:
with open(os.path.join(cwd, '{d}.m3u'.format(d=d)), 'wb') as m3u:
m3u.writelines(['{disk}\n'.format(disk=disk) for disk in disks])
I get this error when I try to run it:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "makem3u.py", line 16, in <module>
contents = os.listdir(os.path.join(cwd, d))
NotADirectoryError: [WinError 267] The directory name is invalid: 'path\\to\\file\\makem3u.py'
makem3u.py is inside a folder with the subfolders mentioned
Windows 10, Python 3.8.5, python is installed properly and the PATH is in enviroment variables and I can run other scripts just fine
What I'm doing wrong and how can I fix this? Is there a non-python alternative like create a .bat file to do that? Sorry for so many questions, I'm a noob in these things. Thank you in advance!
Also, is there a way to batch zip all the files in the subfolders (the generated m3u + original files) and name each zip after that subfolder? This is an extra, but would be helpful if possible
