possible your quality profile is too narrow for couchpotato to find good results, or your providers are not complete.

Couchpotato finds movies for me a lot, in fact, so much I rarely use other ways to download movies ( i have a custom profile set from r5 to brrips).

Love the app, it works a treat. Just a quick question though, is there anyway to better manage 3d files? There are multiple different types of 3d rips out there, but I'm only really interested in SBS versions. I can't see a way to do this in CP at the moment. Thanks.

Not near my CP at the moment, but there is a keywords section. Can you just put 'SBS' in there?

Edit: ok fixed it by putting the file in a folder!

But a new problem is couchpotato does not recognise and ampersand (&) and misses it out when renaming, it also is missing when you add the movie to the wanted list, it simply names then "Cowboys Aliens" instead of "Cowboys & Aliens".

Is it the ampersand causing this? I've had this happen to a couple of movies, but I haven't looked much into it so never found the cause. I thought it was just all movies that weren't placed in a separate folder in the Movies folder, hence the rename.


- themugger - 2011-11-25

Just wondering if you are going to publish a Windows build with the ability to get movies from the wanted list on trakt?

Thanks

yea think the ampersand was causing the problems but now the same problem of movies info being scraped wrong is happening, I think I will just wait for the next version as its just not working for me.

All i really want is a simple renaming/scraping/moving software for movies like sickbeard is for tv.

Here is what happens when it renames and scrapes Fright Night (2011)

Single MKV file

edit: now its renaming all new movies "Movies,.Aspirin.and.Vultures.2005.720P.bluray" no idea what is causing it.

I want to set up Couch Potato so that it moves my downloaded movie on my HTPC to a folder on externally connected NAS drive. How do I get it to do this?


I tried "/Volumes/Films" but this didn't work.

Films being the film directory on the root of my NAS where I want Couch Potato to move my films to.


The movie file stayed in the downloads folder of Openelec.

Great app btw.

why does it search like this

Code:
22:27:10 INFO  [provider.yarr.sources.tpb] Searching: https://thepiratebay.org/search/Crazy+Stupid+Love+720p+-brrip+-bdrip/0/7/207

it adds the "-brrip -bdrip" so it searches for "Crazy Stupid Love 720p -brrip -bdrip" and it brings drastically less results, i dont understand really

also some feedback:
i really like the app so far, its a great thing, but needs improvements, for example i dont like that on every startup it extracts a new folder in Temp like "_MEIxxxxx", it would be better for me personally if it would install/extract once in Program Files and stay there in an permanent folder, therefore also getting a fast startup of the app..

It looks for 720p results, that is bluray quality. BRRips do not come in the same quality and are generally worse than the 720p-releases, so CP searches with BRRip and BDRip excluded.

well yes i noticed that, but the question is why does it exclude br and bdrips without any user input, because for example i found brrips from HolyRoses & ExtraTorrentR on tpb to be great for me in the size/quality ratio.

edit: ok found a workaround, by searching for br-rip, editing quality size for it, and by setting "x264, 720p" in required words, now it downloads pretty much the releases i want weee !


- MrHaugen - 2011-12-01

Is there a way to prevent the download of more than one disk?? Several releases have ended up as Title - CD1 and Title - CD2 now. I'm only searching for HD titles. Disk 1 looks like it's always a sample (a small file), which i do NOT want to have in my library, and I want CD2 to be removed in the filename/Title in the second "disk".

Any clever minds out there that have a solution?


- kokoro - 2011-12-01

Hi,
Does anyone know if the software is still under development? I don't see any movement anymore on github since more than one month...


- castortray - 2011-12-01

yes, I remember being blown away by the preview and I still look forward for the next release, this software is really impressive and already saved me dozens of hours searching for the same movie again and again till it's released Smile
