Grey probably wasn't the best term haha. It's more like a bluish-grey (different from the "I dont want it grey").
The main issue is that screener is always green. I don't have screener copies for almost any of the movies in my screenshot. You can see a few of the screeners are that bluish-grey color (indicating they actually were snatched).
Please look at that screenshot carefully, I think you will see what I mean.

Okay, I did some CSS investigating and screeners are marked as "qScreener active". If they are actually snatched, then they are marked as "qScreener active completed".
In fact, anything that is actually downloaded is marked as completed AND active. Screeners are all marked as active no matter what.
I hope this is making sense...
EDIT: Here is the culprit from 5 days ago:

I knew I wasn't crazy!
EDIT 2: I think I understand this change, but my screeners should still not ALL be green then...

A message to all who cares!
I've been neglecting the forums, I know!
I'm working on a better way to manage these tasks, like bugs, feature requests etc. I'm gonna try and solve this, starting now.
One thing that I hated was the GitHub issue page. That's why I spend all day to migrate and cleanup all the issues from github and put them on Lighthouse (
http://couchpotato.lighthouseapp.com/pr ... to/tickets).
I think this will greatly improve my priorities and workflow. So I won't have to spend so much time managing issues on github.
Keep in mind I don't have time to responde to every single forum post! I see there are others helping me out on answering the "simple" questions. I really appreciate it.
Also a big thanks to all of you who have donated. Although I still earn less than those kids who make your Adidas. Making money is not my main priority with CP.
I'm working on a complete rewrite of CouchPotato, which should make coding in the future more efficient. Things like adding new nzb-providers etc, will be a lot easier.
This new version will also be totally API based, which means other apps can tap into the data of CP, via AJAX or JSONP. Making it API-based results in the front-end being all javascript/ajax. So no page loads.
Next to this I'm gonna wrap CouchPotato inside a Titanium (Desktop) App (
http://www.appcelerator.com/). Making it instantly compatible with Windows, OSX and Linux. This includes autoupdater, dockicon, menu-bar icon and more! Making CouchPotato feel and act like a real app. No more "download source, copy somewhere, and hope it runs".
Of course, the source will still be available, and there will be a "headless" version, for all of you with a Linux server. This will be installed the same way as the current version, via Git/source.
Then there is the mobile app. With the api and all its data at my fingertips, a Mobile version will be easier to make. Also using Titanium (Mobile), this app will support both iOS and Android.
I can't give any estimates for all of this, as there is so much to do, and so little free time. It's a hobby project after all.
Thanks for reading and thanks for the 75 pages of interest

If you are doing a rewrite anyway, please add a scheduler instead of the timer. This allows better control over when to check for new nzb's.
Oh, and please don't make the new version impossible to run on my qnap (or so slow I don't want to run it on my qnap, like sickbeard)

I will indeed use a scheduler. And it shouldn't be havier to run. It will be python 2.5, because of Titanium though.

I like where this is going!
One quick question:
If I add movies manually to sabnzbd, is there anything I can do to send them to couch potato for post processing?

Make sure it will be extracted in the directory CP watches. It should do the rest. There's a bigger change you get an "_UNKNOWN_" though.

LOL .. SB is not slow .. all depends on how much python is called .. so don't set to much searches & too much providers
Enough people don't have probs with a qnab

Is there some workaround to set a movie as downloaded manually?

Just let CP look at your Movie folder for subs or trailers & it will see what you have downloaded.
But you would need to delete the entry for CP for downloading

Hello RuudBurger,
i've been using CouchPotato for 2 months now and i'm very happy with it!
Is it possible to automaticly add movie titles from a rss feed?
Something like this rss feed?
http://i.rottentomatoes.com/syndication ... coming.xml
Or maybe show a list of upcoming movies in CouchPotato, so one could check the movies you like.
Greetings, A Fan.

try imdb's 'now playing' section in combination with the userscript available on the config page in couchpotato.

This is what I have been doing. However, something like this integrated into the app would be nice as well.
