HenryFord Wrote:The 720p-versions of the movie are very old, nzbs.org lists it over 700 days old - be sure that your retention setting in CP is higher than that (it's on the NZBs/Torrents-Page in the settings), otherwise that release will be ignored. As you can see: Your CP finds the 1080p-version, supposedly because it is younger.

Be aware that you know the actual retention of your usenet-provider, otherwise the downloads will fail.

Thank you @HenryFord that was it, the default value is 300 days a bit low IMO astraweb for example, is offering 920, no intention to make publicity Smile
Hi I have been using couch potato now for a few days and was wondering when setting the quality settings you have the option of screener does this also check variations of screener ie. DVDSCR
Rusty_nl Wrote:I also saw that and tried with an other port, but that gave the same error message.
It is also strange that first time use it does work, with that same 5000 port.
But will try a few different ports to see if that solves it.
Try with "netstat" (as mentioned) to find out what service actually is using the desired port. Maybe CP has also a problem bounding you to "0.0.0.0" (which it shouldn't have, but I assume that could come from python as well)? Try to input your LAN-IP for the desired adress of CP.

It is always handy to know what connections and ports are open.

If you try to use a port which is actually currently in use on windows, that will break things. This makes the mentioned "first time it works" very strange to me - the only thing I could think of leading to this is either
a) CP starts with your machine and by launching it again you will get the error-message (but this would make CP at least accessible - did you actually try to view CP before you tried to launch it? Maybe it is already running)
b) a Windows-Service that checks on something and after a short while dies away and frees the port again. With "Try&Error" on your side, that could mean that everytime you tried to start it, the port was blocked. But after extracting enough time had passed so the port is free again. But that really shouldn't happen.

Please just check via netstat - you will find out, what is going wrong.


@dazpayne: The Screener-Quality-Preset is actually for exactly that purpose.
Thanks for the reply could you please tell me if i am mis understanding the quality settings as the way I understand it is that if you say selected R5, Screener and DVD-Rip with a default of R5 is that it would could search for R5's of the selected film 1st if it dont find those it world then revert to the Screener and DVD-Rip respectivley.

The reason I am asking is that in the log the film is being searched for and I am getting results as below:

Wrong: (Film name) DVDScr XviD ENG, looking for R5

but it then doesnt seem to be looking for the Screener as I would of expected. I would of thought that it would then pick up the respective file as long as its within the set file sizes.

If you need more info just say

Thanks

Latest update has broken the Settings page. Needs to be addressed ASAP Lads. Gonna cause a lot of WTF posts! Wink
Looks like some action:
https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotat...69ece001db

However with the config page down, is there a direct URL which can cause an update to be pulled?

you can re-clone the git to wherever your install is.

the most recent update fixes the config page... there is also a button at the bottom of the 'wanted' page that can check for an update.
I think re-cloning will delete your database. You should update. Mine did and now works fine again. Thanks for the quick fix! Smile
Hy guys

CP selects movies by analyzing the filename. If the filename does not include any reference to languages, CP has no way of knowing that.

In the settings, add "German" to the preferred keywords.
