CouchPotato - Automatic Movie Downloader via NZB & Torrents!

[RuudBurger]

A nicer history and importing existing movies will be there eventually.

And thanks, thats the first reason I created the script, so everyone can add movies ^^

Hello, first up major kudos on this fantastic little helper!

just finished a fresh install on a minimal ubuntu install for xbmc, and it seems the initd script isnt working. I have changed my install directory (/home/myuser/couchpotato) and have it set to run as user = root. Is it my setup, the script or something silly like permissions?

i am unable to get to a terminal view to see?

[RuudBurger]

did you change: APP_PATH=/usr/local/sbin/couchpotato ?
can you start CP via the normal way? python CouchPotato.py.

Re: My 'Finds NZBs but doesn't download them' issue.
Thanks for the heads up on NZBMatrix. Removed the NZBMatrix provider settings and its all good.

Lastly,
- I would really like a 'max size' option. I like to get the 720p files, but only if they're under 5GB.
- XBMC integration. I've already got it pushing the file into my library, would be great if it triggered the library update.

Thanks heaps for the program. Can't wait to see how it evolves over the next few months.

If you want a feature, go check out the request/issues on github and if its not there yet, create a new one.
I'm really busy upcoming days/weeks so development might be slowing down a bit.
But I do have someone helping me, so maybe not

I have couchpotato located at "/home/user/couchpotato" and have this set in APP_PATH
I can start CP from the command line (putty) as root "/etc/init.d/couchpotato start"

It just doesnt seem to work following a reboot?

It was working on a previous install of a previous git build?

Check one of the latest replies on the xbmc cp threat. Someone had the same problem. Via couchpotatoapp.com

Job done - i should have checked there first!
perhaps stick it on the git hub tutorial for completeness sake?

What I am doing wrong?  When I download and unzip all I get is a CouchPotato.exe file.. when I run this nothing happens expect a logs folder being created, with nothing in it (tried both v18 and v19).. Service is not running on port 5000.. I have installed an earlier version (v10?) and it worked fine..

when i check DVD-R in the quality settings, save them and view them again then DVD-r is still unchecked.

movies that i want as DVD-R still show up in the wanted list with the yellow DVD-R thingy though.

W7 x64 + CP R19

[RuudBurger]

does it do that for other qualities too?

[Jim]

nope, i've set the 1080. 720, br-rip and screener qualities and they stay set.

For anybody else with the same problem.. I downloaded V13 which worked fine, then copied the exe from V19 across.. Must be a bug for new installs under certain conditions.. Im using W7, btw.

[RuudBurger]

If you copied the EXE of v13, your on v13 again.
What is the full path where you have CP installed?

Hi,

i added Wall·e to CP through imdb and the userscript (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/)

In CP it appears as Walle (no dot) and is not being found, to snatch.

I believe it's because of the dot being a special character.

I think I can add Wall-E (with dash) through CP, which is its other name instead of the dot.

Just though I'd bring this up, thanks

Also just noticed something odd in the log file, i cleared it the went to Movies, then opened the log file in a text viewer:

21:39:58,029 CRITI [stderr] Traceback (most recent call last):
