Renaming not working here either.... (latest version, running on latest XBMCLive and latest SabNZBD)

I have downloaded (for instance) "I.Love.You.Phillip.Morris.2009.720p.BluRay.x264-SiNNERS", all seems to be working well, searching, sending to sabnzbd etc, but the renaming part never kicks in. I have placed the proper download and final locations for my movies:

/home/xbmc/usb/Downloads/Complete/Movies

and

/home/xbmc/usb/Movies (final location)

But nothing gets renamed or replaced. I'm using SickBeard, and that program has no issues renaming and moving whatsoever, so it can't be a permission problem right? Also, I don't see anything happening in the log...even though it should attempt to rename every 60 secs right? Does it try this all the time? Wouldn't it be better to just do this once when the movie is downloaded?

I'll be using one of these providers then. Thanks for the great app! Big Grin

I'm finally taking the dive on this application and I'm excited for the Manage features (this is what I've been waiting for!).

Thank you!

How do you guys find movies to add to CP?

Like I'm not up on the soon to be released movies... Where do you guys look?

Is there a way to auto add new movies to CP? Thanks


- alshain - 2010-12-01

Not yet, but we plan to add that.

Not automatically but go here and just use the GM script.

Not sure whether I fully understand how the script is working. For me, I can get it to add movies from IMDB when on the actual movie site (e.g., http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0980970/). I cannot add anything from overview sites like the one you mention above and also nothing from the links from the site you are linking to as this links to amazon.com.

Are these the limitations of the current script or am I doing anything wrong?

Is there a way to let it download a movie in either 720p or 1080p? I now choose 720p, but if there is a 1080p I'd rather have it download that version.

Also, any updates on the non working renaming? A number of friends have the exact same issue, is it not working yet at all?


- alshain - 2010-12-02

renaming is working for me atm.

You can create custom qualities in the configuration.

sorry for the stupid question - but how do i use CP? i'm on windows, downloaded the win build, extracted the exe to a folder and ran it, it created folders and .ini files, tried changing settings in the ini, but i'm still unable to access: http://ip:5000, always get a connection reset...
thanks for your help

edit: changed the default port to a different one and all runs Smile


- logictester - 2010-12-03

could other torrent site providers be added?

Yes, I think your observations are correct... I forgot about the Amazon links which are a PITA. In fact it's infuriating that they've changed that (use to have direct IMDB links too).

So, to meet your needs the GM script might need to be altered to work with something like amazon.com or play.com.

Sorry for the bum steer.

Maybe I missed something, but how exactly do you add movies from the imdb site?


- DejaVu - 2010-12-04

Add the Userscript (in Settings in CP) to Google Chrome.

At the bottom of the page an 'Add to CP' widget appears on the IMDB Movie Description page.

Ok, I really love CouchPotato but I have one issue that is really getting on my tits, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know that on nzbmatrix I can get the nzb for a particular film i.e. Secret of Kells, but when I put it into couch potato it doesn't process it and acts as though it's not available?

I have had this issue with several films for months and would love to resolve this before I have to bin couch potato. Which I'd rather not do.
