Fature Suggestion: RSS Feeds - Shipis - 2011-03-09

How about an opportunity to check RSS feeds?

It would be nice if user could define feeds CP shuld check.
With such feature it would be possible to download torrents from closed sites like TorrentDay and others.

Also - is it possible to disable looking and downloading torrents from ThePirateBay ?

See: http://couchpotato.lighthouseapp.com/projects/56809/tickets/15-feature-request-rss-support

TPB is the only torrent provider. So disabling would render torrent support useless.

Hi Ruudburger, just started using this app and want to thank you for creating it. Very awesome! I've added a comment to the ticket number 43 on Lighthouseapp.com for a request on genre folders. Good stuff, can't wait to see how it progresses!

RuudBurger: I always miss you when you're on MSN. Big Grin

Couple things I wanted to mention...

1.) I just merged master into my sorting branch. I've been running the sorting branch for a few months now and it works great. You can check out this and subsequent commits to see how I implemented this. Right now it's got rules for MPAA rating and resolution. As usual, I don't have a UI for it. Just have to edit config.ini.

For example, I have this:
Code:
[Renamer]
subdir1 = Films - R
rule1 = MPAA>PG-13
subdir2 = Film
rule2 = MPAA<R
subdir3 = UNKNOWN
rule3= UNK=UNK
This sorts MPAA rated R and greater movies into a subdir of my movie destination folder called "Films - R", PG-13 and less go into "Films", and unknown ratings go into "UNKNOWN". You can do the same thing with SD, 720p, 1080p.

There's probably better ways to do this, but it works fine, and is easy to add new rules to.

For the reasons we discussed earlier, this will probably be my last contribution to mainline CP and the rest of my efforts will be focused on backend stuff. I implemented this months ago and wanted to be sure you were aware of it.

2.) Hit me up on MSN or IRC sometime to talk about rules-based downloading based on things like IMDB rating and whatnot. I've got some ways of exposing this information via my imdb library.

Isn't such a feature built in with sabnzbd?

Edit: What a stupid answer...you're using torrents, which isn't supported by Sab Big Grin

So...with torrents, try using utorrents rss-downloader:
http://www.zeropaid.com/news/7845/auto_download_movies_music_and_tv_shows_with_utorrent/

or azureus plugins:
RSS Feed Downloader (ScaneRSS)
or
RSS Feed Scanner
or
RSSImport

They aren't so pretty, of course, but you could use CP as well and let utorrent download the movies, CP then will rename, etc..
So add a movie to CP like you normaly would, then add it to the torrent-downloader via the plugins (you always can set rules for the plugins) and let CP do the rest.

How can I get Couch Potato working with documentaries such as "Inside Job" and "Waiting for Superman?"

I'm using CP in conjuction with NZBMatrix, but I don't believe CP searches the HD documentary section of NZBMatrix.

Love it so far though! This one last thing would complete it for me and make it donation time. Smile

Edit: This looks like it just got an official ticket. Here > Support for documentaries category on nzbmatrix


Install on Windows? - tboooe - 2011-03-11

Sorry for being dense everyone, but how do I install this on Windows XP or 7? I downloaded the Windows binary and extracted the exe. When I run it, the CP folder is created but when I try to start CP, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?


- compcentral - 2011-03-11

Feature Suggestion:

When adding a film or setting a quality, it would be great to assign a SABnzb category to movie... then when a .nzb is sent to SAB it can be processed accordingly... I use this for sorting. All my "kid movies" get sent to a Kid Movies folder which is used a source for their AppleTV XBMC install. I don't want my 3 year old watching R rated material. Smile

There is no "installation", just extract the exe where you want and run it. CP is browser based, you need to go to ipaddress:5000 in your browser

Thank you for the response. I try to go to localhost:5000 but my browser says it cant connect. Any ideas?

This is what you should do:
1. Download the zip-file.
2. Extract it
3. Launch "CouchPotatoe.exe"
4. Launch your Browser and open "http://localhost:5000/"
5. ? ? ?
6. Profit.

If that does not work, look at your logfile, located in the cp-directory. What does it say?

Thank you sir. I followed these exact steps multiple time with no luck. There is nothing in my log...do I need to download python first?

Is there any progress on Couch Potato renaming existing movies?


- compcentral - 2011-03-12

I believe so, yes
