How can I have CouchPotato download the nzbs from nzbmatrix with the scene names? (dots instead of spaces).
Metsadah Wrote:Im running CP on windows and it works great except for renaming and moving the files. If I let it do that, then there is no way that I can see them on my xbmc (via samba). Sabnzbd is configured that it chmods 777 and with sickbeard everything works fine. So, is it correct that CP messes with the rights for the files?

Then you shouldn't be seeing the NZB name at all, anymore.
Metsadah Wrote:I guess i'll just quote myself. Anybody got a solution for this problem? For now I let sabnzbd handle the moving and renaming, but I'd prefer that CP does the job.CouchPotato does not mess with your permissions. It should keep the permissions. However, you may want to launch CouchPotato under a specific user/group/umask setting, to get that sorted. Maybe you'd also need to state, what exaclty goes wrong. At the very least, CP does nothing on purpose, and IIRC, the default behaviour for the move command it is using, is to retain file permissions as they were.

I'm interested in using the feature that allows this to be used with sharethetv, in simple terms how would I update/modify my copy of couch potato to allow this to happen?
Many Thanks!

It's found a ton of stuff, all downloaded just fine with rtorrent. But the renamer just does nothing. Cron says that it's started but after that, nothing. Once again, is there any way to forcefully kick off a rename?
XBMC Wrote:Unfortunately I am not using CP's renaming feature but instead post process with sab. Is it possible to just use CP's name seperator only and not rename any files/folders?
alshain Wrote:I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what you're trying to do. What is CP's "name separator"? Could you make an example of what is happening now, and what you would like to have instead?
XBMC Wrote:Okay, at the moment I have renaming disabled in Couch Potato. All my downloads are post-processed by sab, and the files all go into a folder (e.g. Movie Name 2009) which is named after the .nzb.
In the rename section of Couch Potato, there is an option for "Name Seperator" which basically replaces spaces with your choice of dots/dashes. I was wondering if it is possible to just use this feature only in the rename section,. I do not want CouchPotato to do anything else in regards to renaming, but just replace the folder/file names with dots instead of spaces.

cosmicr Wrote:you could easily do that in your post processing script instead.
just out of interest, why do you need dots in your filenames? isn't that a bit antiquated?
fryster Wrote:I have the user script installed but don't know how to update it to allow its use with sharethe.tv
I'm using google chrome
Many thanks!

No one has implemented a UI for it yet, but all you have to do is set the "ppDir" setting in config.ini to SAB's post-processing directory.
After that you'll never have a mis-identified movie again (unless the movie is identified wrong on usenet or at the nzb provider...in which case there's not much to do about it).
