I've setup this script for a few friends so I thought I'd share it here as well. It is a simple batch file that will add any WTV files to the Show Analyzer queue.
I run it as a Scheduled Task that runs daily at 3:00 AM. I do not use the built-in directory monitor as I find, even when setup with restrictions, that ShowAnalyzer consumes too much of the CPU and can adversely affect HTPC usage.
Simply copy the file to your Recorded TV folder and setup a scheduled task to run it daily. It will add any WTV files w/o a corresponding XML commercial file to the Show Analyzer queue.
To make it easier to setup for my none technical friends there is a command line switch to copy it to the proper location and create the scheduled task that runs at 3 AM.
__ProcessShowAnalyzer.cmd /install
Note: If you use DVRMSToolbox you can also use DVRMStoMPEG to queue file. See How do I schedule ShowAnalyzer to process a directory?.

Hi Mikinho,
Just downloaded your script and it worked great! I wanted to change the time the batch is scheduled to run and discovered I couldn't find the task anywhere in task scheduler. I have show hidden tasks checked but still can not find where the task details are. Any tips on where to find the task so I can change the time?
Thanks.
