1. CouchPotato renaming NZB-files.
Is it possible for CouchPotato to rename the NZB-files which are imported to SABnzbd from nzb.su? I've check it on settings - Renaming, and filled it in like this, but the downloaded movies are still in this format: 127.Hours.2010.BDRip.XviD-Larceny.
Enable: (checked on)
Folder naming: ()
File naming: ().
That is possible when you download it to the folder that CP is watching for new movies.
Make sure there is an nfo with imdb url in the folder, to do a better naming

Has anyone got any idea on the below????  I need help!!

Hi,

First - I absolutely love this service!  Nothing like it on earth!

Applause over with...here is my question:

I really am struggling to set up the quality settings correctly.  Ultimately what I want is to add a film to the list then when any of the better qualities become available - e.g. dvd rip or better, it will download them regardless of which one they are.  Of course, I also want new films to come through at screener stage - and don't want to wait for these!

I have set up my own quality settings stating not to wait for any days.

Unfortunately when I add back cat items to the list they don't seem to instantly start downlaoding - even though they are definately available in one of these file types.

I cannot understand what is preventing this from happening.

Any ideas?

Perhaps I am missing a fundamental point!

Thanks,

Aaron

Maybe you need to be a bit more clear.

You need to use custom quality, best quality on top & then down to the worst
And you tell it at what quality you think it should not download a better one.
It's all very simple.

Then when you add a movie , you select the custom quality and it will be added with that to the list

----
What do you mean with back cat items ?

And what is your log saying when you add this ?

What do you mean by 'the folder that CP is watching for new movies'?  Is this the folder you can set in the Renaming settings under 'Movie destination'?

No, that folder is called Movie destination... it is not the same as the download folder.

Could please tell me which setting you mean? Since it isn't working here....

oh yeah under "manage". anyway when i click on it it loads only a blank page.

language&key words:  how many files/postings are labeled "english" ?

or is it common to use "international" as label?

* when you want english ... no need to worry .. just use some ignore words like : DUBBED / GERMAN / SWEDISH

* Blank page : yep that is correct , have a look in your log & you will see that it is searching for subs

ok thnx.

another thing would be great. a switch when using "update subtitles" where it looks through my movie folders to add subtitles for the other movies i already have :)
