I need some nzb neewb guidance Oo
If I have understood this program correctly I need to add some info under providers to be able to download nzb's. But what do I do when I have to pay at NZBMatrix to get the API key and NZBs.org don't accept any more registrations? Do i have to have a crack at newznab, and setup that to be able to find any nzbs with couch potato?

Is the trailer and subtitle download supposed to be occurring for newly downloaded movies after a successful download in SAB? If so, it's not working for me... although I don't use the the renamer since it totally destroyed my movie collection a few times. It would be nice if trailers and subtitles could be downloaded automatically without using the renamer script.

It's simple. Pay $10 to nzbmatrix... Problem solved.

Well, of course. But newznab is an viable alternative? Didn't say too much on their webpage so really not sure I understand how it's working. But from what I could read I should be able to search usenet by installing it?

nzb.su - newznab provider, free, pretty good

Thanks a lot gugahoi. Can't understand why I haven't started using nzb's before. It rocks! Smile

Except recently nzbmatrix has had some pretty bad problems of nzb's completely not making it onto the rss, which defeats the whole purpose.

Thanks so much Mike, nice to be rid of the console window.

Small addendum though, I had to also set the "start in" target to x:\Couchpotato\, without it a new .db file was created in x:\pythonw\ rather than using the existing .db in x:\couchpotato\

gugahoi, I signed up with nzb.su and they even have your logo on the front page yet when I go into Config - Providers, I don't see a way to add them, am I missing something?

Also, after installing the GreaseMonkey script I decided to try it out on a few movies via IMDB and it added them flawlessly, but the folder they were put in didn't apend the SAB category directory, I'm not sure if that was my fault so I added that in the config but when they finish they are just sitting there, it appears there wasn't any post processing done on the files, is there anyway to manually do that for now since the manage page hasn't been completed?

You need to add it manually under the 'Newznab' heading.
Use the nzb.su URL for the host, and the API you get from your account settings in nzb.su
