I tried "/Volumes/Films" but this didn't work.
Films being the film directory on the root of my NAS where I want Couch Potato to move my films to.
The movie file stayed in the downloads folder of Openelec.
Great app btw.
If you are using linux you need to mount the NAS drive preferably automatically during startup. How to do this depends on the version of linux. This link is for Openelec, if that is what you are using. Once its mounted then it acts as if its a folder on the machine, so Couchpotato can access it. Just make sure your pc has read/write access.
If you are using windows you need to map the network drive so that it works as if it was any other drive on your PC and not a network drive. Once you map it then you would used the mapped network drive letter like X:\blah\movies\. Do a google search on how to, its pretty easy.
