Are you on the master branch?


- pFranzen - 2011-05-03

Like many people, I'm using both Couch Potato and Sick Beard to download movies and TV episodes. I'm only doing this with torrents at the moment, and I have uTorrent handling the actual downloading.

I'm a little hesitant to turn on automatic renaming and relocating my downloaded files with Couch Potato though, since I don't want it to interfere with the renaming and moving that Sick Beard is doing. Is there a way to append the .torrent files that Couch Potato grabs so that they can be filtered (by uTorrent) into a different destination folder? Right now all files downloaded by uTorrent are going to the same place.

How are other people handling this?

I used this command to install it, so I believe this is the master branch since its ruudburger. If not then let me know how to correct it.

Code:
sudo git clone http://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotato.git

How do I check on my machine if thats where its pulling from?

So I use mysql for my xbmc database, guessing the blu-ray.com feature isn't compatible with a mysql DB yet?

Also I've disabled the feature but its still trying to grab films. I've set the year to 3000 for now. I'm using version: 3972b17 but it's just updating now.

+1. Not sure how to have CouchPotato download to one directory and SickBeard to another either.

Any ideas why CP won't snatch this film;

Gnomeo & Juliet 720p, it's there on Nzbmatrix.

I add it as 720p in CP.

I force a check, this is the log:

Can't work out why it doesn't pick up on it. Minimum file size is correct.

Is it because the nfo simply says "Gnomeo & Julie"?

ok fixed both of my CP instances. I just deleted them and started over and copied by database file over after I was finished configuring each instance. Working great again.

When I force check I only get this in the log:

18:27:18 INFO [lib.provider.movie.search] Getting extra movie info for Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Why?

After a restart of couchpotato it worked again.

I was wondwring if a new quality could be addes. Ppvrip is a quality that is coming out now and would be great if CP ccould look for it amd download it.


- steve1977 - 2011-05-07

I also don't have the bluray-RSS feature? I am using R31 on windows. Is it part of this release yet? How does it work?


- PaulC2K - 2011-05-10

Could someone help clarify how 'Quality Profile' works.

Say im looking forward to seeing the docu 'The Inconvenient Ruth' and blockbuster 'Havatar' :rolleyes2:, the docu wouldnt be ruined by watching a screener or R5, however it could be argued the blockbuster should be seen in 1080p to fully appreciate it. Could i set it so that the docu downloads a R5 or Screener, and then keeps looking for a BR-Rip or 720p. While Havatar gets a BD-Rip while waiting for a 1080p version?

Is that what this does, gets inferior versions but keeps looking for your perfect version?
If so, how does it deal with the lesser versions once it downloads a better vers?


- RuudBurger - 2011-05-10

Yes that's how it works It deletes the lower quality ones when it found a better version.
