CouchPotato - Automatic Movie Downloader via NZB & Torrents!

[substyle]

very promising app!

Just started using this because my old post processing script for movies stopped working and I have no idea why. This is working wonders and it is actually simple enough for the woman to use!

The only request I have is....is there some way to scan my current library? It doesn't have to even determine quality for my purposes, I just want a way of preventing duplicates since I already have a massive library before installing this.

Hi guys, quick question, the 'NZBMatrix.com' provider, does that only get newely published NZB's or will it get older ones as well ?

Thx
Matt.

Yes this is possible .. see below quote posted some time ago :

Am i ever going to be able to add the movies I've already downloaded to couch potato? This is the main reason I'm not using it right now.

Add your folder to the renaming tab, Movie Destination and search for trailers or subtitles (no need to enable renaming).

This depends  .. are you a VIP user or not

i've got a 900 day retention at nzbmatrix.

Very nice .. but this means nothing 
What is important is the retention you have at your ISP/Usenet provider
As when that is only 300-400 days ...  You will most of the time have a problem to grab files that are like 800-900 days old

Interesting, so do I plus 700 on the usenet provider, I must of done something wrong, as it isn't picking up one of the Movies that I added.  The other guys @ 720p and as i notice  'The Other Guys 2010 720p BluRay x264 METiS' is listed on NZBMatrix @ 29 days old.

With what settings did you add it to CP ?
And what does the log say ??

Have added the correct API/Username in the settings provider (removed below) as it has worked in the past.. also  have added the movie in wanted as 720p, doesn't even seem to find it in the search.  From the below log it looks like it is using a rss feed, is that correct ?

Thats why its a good idea to add multiple sources, try adding nzb.su, as it is free

I'm trying to use this to clean up an existing movie library, but the following log entry makes me fairly worried.  It's not the error that worries me as couchpotato currently doesn't have write access to the destination on purpose so i can see what it's trying to do before it actually does it, it's the fact it's trying to rename 28 Weeks later to Kinema no tenchi.

Using windows build 27.

note: i have changed the paths in the logs
14:02:52 INFO  [    app.lib.cron.renamer] Trying to find a home for: 28 Weeks Later DVDrip ]ENG] By Carisma99.avi

Am i doing something wrong?

Add your folder to the renaming tab, Movie Destination and search for trailers or subtitles (no need to enable renaming).

I did notice this shortly after posting my comment, but I also noticed that once it does have the movie library scanned...it doesn't really do anything with the information There is no duplicate prevention, even for a movie that was found by couchpotato already.

Had that in there, didn't pick it up, so have tired disabling it.

Can someone else try for me 'the other guys' @ 720p and see if there nzbmatrix account picks it up.

Thx.

nzbmatrix doesn't find the 720p version
nzbs.org does tho

Strange the nzbmatrix one doesn't find it.  don't have a nzbs.org account so can't try that one (unless someone sends me a request for one )

Thx
Matt.

i don't think that's possible at the moment.

01.10.10 - Authentication will soon be required for RSS and new user registration have been disabled for the time being.

It should have added the movies to your DOWNLOADED list


But indeed it seems you can still add that movie

@ Ruud , is there an option to prevent this ??
