Can you please add functionality so that CouchPotato talks to SABnzbd and receives a status thru API to notify CP if a movie is actually downloaded.
As of right now, the only way I know how to mark these is by checking the green checkmark on the "snatched" NZBs.

anyone else having issues on Windows where (it seems) the renaming part of this program seems to be stealing focus from XBMC (and therefor minimizing it)?
If so has anyone found a fix or is it something I have to live with?

That sounds weird.. I don't think that this should happen with the renamer, as there is no additional script launched for the renaming.
I'm sorry, I don't have a windows machine and never had this problem when I still had one. If you could somehow track down the problem and tell us more about when and how, I'd appreciate it.

i will investigate a little more and get back to you... starting to think it is nothing to do with CouchPotato at all!

Let me start with thanking you for CouchPotato. It's a great tool that I always use for downloading my movies and it's so easy to use.
I'm trying to fully automate my download process with other tools like ember, utorrent and eventghost. Many times this works, but sometimes Ember Media Manager can't find the right information for my movie. That's not strange cause torrents can have the most stupid names. So I was thinking.
While Couchpotato already has the right info about the torrent because it looks at IMDB when I do A search for a movie. Why not output an extra file with this info in it. So Ember can never be wrong. Just a simple text file that goes in the same directory as the movie.
I would certainly love this new feature and I think other people would too.
Thanks again for CP.

One quick Q - I am living in a county, where IMDB is blocked and only accessible via VPN (which I don't have running all the time). CP used to be able to snatch movies once IMDB was not working, but could only add movies to the CP queue when IMDB is working,
Since one of the last updates, CP can only snatch movies when IMDB is running.
Any thoughts?

Hmm, I think it should be able to snatch movies even when IMDB doesn't work for you. I'll ask Ruud about that.
but who would block IMDB? What country do you live in?

The primary problem with TMDB is, that it's search engine sucks. IMDB's results are much closer to what you intend to find.
