CouchPotato - Automatic Movie Downloader via NZB & Torrents!

[RuudBurger]

It should run after restart or say something like "watch folder doesn't exist"

[jjabs]

I have a Mediasmartserver, just wondering if this could run directly from that? (It's running Windows Home Server)


thanks

If it can run Python 2.6, then yes.

I restarted CouchPotato, and then the it renamed all the movies. Great.

Seems to work fine with renaming, from what I can see.

I also tried the trailer feature, but disabled it again, since the quality was not good on most of the trailers I downloaded.
I usually download trailers from http://www.hd-trailers.net/ - would it be possible to use this source for trailers?
I use the download link for Yahoo trailers, in 1080P, which downloads a .mov file that plays perfectly and has excellent quality.

Also, for XBMC, the naming format is -trailer.mov.
example:
Avatar.2009.1080P.Download.mkv
Avatar.2009.1080P.Download-trailer.mkv

Would it be possible to include a naming format like this?

I know that trailers are on the Todo for a makeover, but just wanted to share my experiences.

-trailer.ext is only needed if you have multiple movies per directory. Otherwise movie-trailer.ext is fine too. And as CP doesn't support multiple movies per directory it uses that.
http://www.hd-trailers.net/ seems to be harder to parse, as they have multiple trailers per page. but i see what i can do. seem to be more reliable in quality.
Could you please make a ticket on github for both?

[jonaskp]

See, I didn't know that actually. But I would still like to rename them -trailer. in order to keep things tidy.

I posted both suggestions on github, don't know why I didn't do that in the first place.

New version available, with updating functions.
It will say you will need an update, the first time you start it. This is because I don't know the version if you never used the update function. So this time, you'll have to do a double update. (Hope that makes sense...)
Windows users will get a notification, but still have to shutdown and overwrite the .exe manually

So from now on, will the program automatically tell me when an update is available, and perform the update, without me having to do anything else (like restart the program)?  I'm running on Ubuntu from source.

Looks to me to get teh latest updates , you need to do the following :

GO to the log page , press update & you are OK 

[jonaskp]

Wow, that was fast patching of the Trailer-features I requested. Great work.
Can't wait for the windows build to get updated with these

Thanks for the program works nicely except im getting some german movies can we get a language option?


also you should see if you can work with this other project to enable automatic movie downloads if wanted.

+1

Would indeed be a nice option

Movie posters on the "Movies" page would be a welcome addition

[RuudBurger]

Update should work on all the pages. Build a little link in the footer to check manually.
New trailer download is in latest windows build.
Movie posters will be coming to the "soon" page. The movie page will become to big if I add posters.

For the german movies, could you PM me some examples (moviename, year, quality), that gave the wrong result?
This is the problem of the NZB/Torrent poster (and German dubbing in general )
German movies have a different title, but sometimes also the original title. When they have both, they also will be found while search for the original (mostly english) version.

Still having issues when i reboot my pc i need to restart this.

There is nothing that i can see from the logs, and the start up file is in my start up folder in my programs

any ideas?

[RuudBurger]

Does it say something like:
19:38:59,791 INFO  [app.lib.cron] Starting Cronjobs.

Where the time is somewhere near the time you rebooted? If not, then the exe isn't run at all.
