could you make a screenshot of your custom quality? and is that quality set on the movie?

Great program. Used a striped down version of Windows XP, so the windows build of CP wouldn't run. Installing Python and pulling from Git worked like a charm.

If I do a Git-pull, do I get the newest windows build or really the latest changes?

Also love the idea of therms, creating a NFO and download some artwork. Is it incorporated in the latest builds, or do I need to pull his fork? Is it usable yet?

Many questions, but many thanks for your great work!
Yes, git pull will get you the latest changes.
Artwork and nfo is not in the CP master.
Why doesn't it snatch the movie in the situation beneath?

Couch Potato and Sickbeard are 2 different programs, don't mix them up.

If you've run the couchpotato.py through python, the interface (and so config) is reachable on http://localhost:5000. If you want to access CP from a different PC its http://SERVER_IP:5000. Unblock port 5000 in your (windows)firewall.

You can install Sick Beard in the steps as described on this page.

Thanks
Hi RB,

I did a search through this thread and only found one person who has a situation that is slightly similar to mine.

I would love to use couch potato, however I was wondering if it would be able to accommodate this feature.

Currently, I store all of my SD movies in one directory, and all of my HD movies in another. The reason I do this is mainly due to the size of each HDD that each directory is stored on.

Right now I have SAB download movies to my main download folder \Processed Downloads\Movies\ and then I have a script run nightly to detect what the extension of the movie is (mkv vs avi) and move the folder to the appropriate directory.

Is it possible to achieve something like this in CP? If not, would it be something that you might consider implementing? Thanks again for the awesome program.
Am I correct that CP cannot add a movie if it does not have a cover on IMDB?

I'm getting a lot of movies not able to add either via the imdb pop up or manuall trying to add them. one example being http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1137470/
@RuudBerger:

My XBMC features fork is pretty much feature-complete.

You can pull it from here:
http://github.com/therms/CouchPotato

UI things that you'll need to implement:
* The XBMC stuff that I added an XBMC section in the config for.
* I added a file renaming replacement tag "sourcemedia", so you may want to add a description of it in the file renaming section. It catches whether the source media was bluray, dvd, hdvd, or hdtv, so users can add that to the filename (many XBMC skins make use of this info).

If you notice anything you'd like me to do differently, let me know.

I was thinking of implementing movie identifcation via the OSD hashing algorithm that TMDB is now using for cases where the imdb id isn't in the nfo. Are you working on that already? I've already actually got most of the work done for some personal-use scripts...
Maybe you can implent some functions, like the download speed, and at which state it is at downloading. It would be more girlfriend friendly, Tongue

Isn't it easier to switch to SABnzbd then? Both programs have completely different purposes.

thats what SABnzbd or your torrent program are for not CouchPotato.

CP simply sends the files to be downloaded

@Therms
Thanks, will check it out. I am indeed working on a better movie indentification via hashing. This is a feature in my "library"-class and will be uses for trailers, subtitles and renaming.
When I'm done porting the renaming to the library-class, I see what the best way is to implement your changes. Thanks again, for the help Big Grin
