CouchPotato - Automatic Movie Downloader via NZB & Torrents!

[xtinct101]

Is there somewhere I can set something like "how long before release to start checking for available download" right now I seem to be missing early releases because couchpotato is not looking for that movie yet.

Yeah I really should make an "explanation intro text" for the Soon page.. no time no time!!

No problem.

Only comment i have is:
When a movie is marked as downloaded, it would be nice to have the possibility to see movie info the same way as when added as wanted.

Could you please add language-filtering to the todo list?

I’d find that immensely useful, would even pay a decent sized bounty for it.

[RuudBurger]

It's on the list.

Sorry for the slow development.. to much other things to do..

Having trouble getting CP to move files after download. I see some stuff going on with cronRenamer, but no moving - just deleting garbage files.

Code: Select all

[danny@mediaserver /usr/local/share/couchpotato/logs]$ grep Renamer CouchPotato.log  
09:30:53,224 INFO  [app.lib.cron.cronRenamer] Removing file /tank/media/Downloads/complete/Movies/Iron Man 2 2010 720P Bluray X264 Wiki.md5.

Running on FreeBSD 8.1 stable with python 2.6

yeah you could make 3 different tabs at the links/search bar

wanted movies / snatched Movies / Downloaded movies

and make the display same as the actual movies tab

i guess all info is still in the DB or the worst what could happen is that our DB would grow a bit

but it would be nice to see which quality is snatched when you use custom qulaities like i do

Has anyone got this running on an unraid server yet?  I have Sabnzdb and Sickbeard running fine but I cannot for the life of me get this to run?

All I have done is add "python /mydirectory/CouchPotato.py to my "Go" file but it throws back some error install loggers taking onyl 2 arguements not three or something similar.

Any help appreciated.

Install the latest dependencies package 2.0 from the unraid forum. The Lockstockmod uses 1.3.
If it still doesn't work, maybe CP is launched while the dependencies have not been completely loaded. Try to insert "sleep 10" (without "") in your go file between the dependencies line and nohup python /mydirectory/CouchPotato.py -d &. The sleep command will tell the OS to wait 10 seconds before processing the rest of the script.

Registered just to support this idea!

How can you tell the status of trailer downloads? I watched the log as they were searched for and added to the trailer search but now the log shows nothing. Not sure how to tell if it's downloading them or not.

[RuudBurger]

Will check out the problem of not searching for movies it should.
Expect an update today.

Hi,

I'm just in the process of getting my new Mac Mini setup as a MediaCentre and am trying to plan ahead to make life easier.... basically I want CouchPotato to rename my movies for me, as it can, I need to know if it's possible for the Movie Destination folder and Download Folder to be the same place - are there any potential issues with this also? I haven't tried it for fear of breaking anything just yet!

At the moment I have 2 categories in Sab, one called Movies which dumps the files into /Volumes/Media/Movies and one called TV which dumps TV shows into /Volumes/Media/TV

Do i need to create a third category for movies from CouchPotato that dumps the file when downloaded from Sab into a temporary location that CouchPotato then watches to do its renaming and then ultimately moves the renamed file/folder to /Volumes/Media/Movies?

If CouchPotato could kindly rename and clean up all the folders in the existing Movie directory by me adding the same folder in the Destination and Download locations - that would be great though!

Cheers

Oh and having flicked back to read more thoroughly in case the question was answered, I too have noticed that the Userscript no longer seems to work... i've removed it and re-added just in case. Could it be linked to the new IMDB layout?

I'm using Chrome (on a Mac) and CouchPotato Version 2a4541d

I also took the plunge on the above and put both folders the same - thus far it seems to have worked ok!

[RuudBurger]

Yeah you need separate download and movie folder.
No renaming yet for existing movies.
Also I still don't see the new IMDB, so unless someone knows how I could get it. I can't do anything.

[munchit]

Strange, just checked and IMDB site is 'as it was' in Safari, but in Chrome it's a very different beast....

As for the movie renaming, it actually seems to have worked ok, movies have gone in to the folder and CouchPotato has done it's thing with them in the same place... though i need to check as there was one oddity where I ended up with a duplicate. Maybe a new group in SAB just for CouchPotato Movies may be safer in the long run though!

[rascalli]

Is chrome maybe running some sort of script/plugin ?

As FF / SAFARI / IE show the old/normal IMDB
