You are right, I am running cp on windows 7... was wondering too, would it he possible to launch movie trailers from your app?
Looking forward to a full version! I think you are on track to have the best set of these kind of applications!

I could add movie trailers. A simple one would be to just open youtube.com searching for trailers. CouchPotato actually doesn't keep a link to trailers it just searches for it when you click. It shouldn't be to hard though to just get the first one from a search and open it. I don't know if I would make it a actionbar item or a clickable button in the edit and add movies view.

Awesome, I'll be keeping an eye out for it to go live!
Not sure if you had planned on implementing it or not, but 'sharing' a movie from IMDB to a CP app seems to be a standard so far for these, could you consider adding it please?
..Sorry to put out requests before the app is even live, I'm an ass :p
Love your work!

Yah I'm going to add that but I haven't added it yet. This app wont need as much work as SickStache did so I don't think there will need to be that many patches. Might get to 1.3 maybe?

Well if you need anything tested out, toss me a message and I would be glad to report my findings back to you.

If you really really wanted to try, which I don't recommend, you would need to run the command
/api/<yourkey>/movie.list/
This will be ONE HUGE string of text. You will need some sort of json pretty viewer to see it so it isn't one big string. You want to find a section where it says
poster [ "C:/where/you/put/CouchPotato/cache/filename.jpg" ], and then try to do
/api/<yourkey>/file.cache/<WhatTheOtherCommandSaid>
and see if you get the picture. If you do, I am confused.

I did get the picture, but the location has double slashes in it:
C:\\Users\\Admin\\AppData\\Roaming\\CouchPotato\\cache\\df4b6de038a6785eb2cf43fa89265da4.jpg
Maybe that is the culprit?

When, I typed mine into chrome. It took all the "\\" and made them "//". I'm guessing that was the problem. Im going to try and switch then and try my app out again.

That's really really weird. The order of the images being grabbed should be fairly random. When happens is, I get all the info for wanted and manage. I then push all the data into the lists. Whenever a item in the list is shown, I go get the thumbnail if I hate it, otherwise I go download it. But, they are really tiny images. Only like 100KB max. They shouldn't take that long to download. Could your work do something weird to your urls? I don't know. I changed all the "\" to "/" and I can still get thumbnails from my app, so I'm going to leave it.
