I have a question I am hoping someone can answer for me. I have Couchpotato happily running on my main server pc (Computer A). I currently have another HTPC (Computer B) that is connected to the server. Is there a way for me to connect to CP on my server (computer A) using my HTPC (computer B) so that I can enter videos to download in CP as my server (Computer A) will be headless and in a closet? If so what do I need to install and/or do to be able to do this?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi Mark, assuming they are both on the same network, wouldn't you just bring up the CouchPotato web interface on your HTPC (computer B), adding the titles you want that will then download using the running CouchPotato on your computer (computer A), specifing the headless computers LAN address i.e.
http://192.168.1.7:8080 <- obviously the lan ip of your headless computer running CouchPotato and the port
Also if you run firefox adding the userscript really makes a huge difference, even my wife can add films now from her computer that she would like downloaded
