First off: this is my fault. I should have tested CP on non-live data.

I haven't really been using CP in ages, so I decided to update to the latest version. I enabled the renaming functionality, and provided the path to SAB's download folder, \\server\videos\incoming.

I was creating and testing some custom qualities, so I added a movie and then scanned the logs to see what was happening behind the scenes. To my surprise, it was doing a recursive scan of \incoming. I have a LOT of videos in there, under various folders because they don't fit into other places. Some home videos, various internet videos, adult videos.

I refresh the log and see that apparently CP has decided that all of these videos are the movie Angela's Ashes, from 1999. It then decided to rename all of these files Angela's Ashes cd1.avi, cd2.avi....all the way up to cd104. It even renamed files that weren't movies, like ISO files I had in my \incoming\software foder. 104!!

The world hasn't ended or anything, it'll just take some time to open the files up, figure out what they are, then rename them appropriately. It's just frustrating.

So, my question: I want to use CP to do renaming. Is there a way to prevent it from scanning every freaking folder in the incoming directory and mass-renaming/moving everything? What's the proper way to set this up?

after just looking at my cp log, there's one thing that i can't figure out. why is couchpotato searching imdb and themoviedb for television episodes that were downloaded last night via sickbeard?

moosenoz Wrote:gorgeth, thank you for taking the time to answer my question

if that's the case. i'd be better off having couchpotato not doing any post-processing.

Point your movies to the CP folder and your TV shows to the SickBeard folder. Then configure each app to look for files in those dirs. That way you'll be able to use the renaming functions of both, but they won't conflict with each other.

why wouldnt CP generate nfo files with this type of content:

Code:

<movie>
    <title>Who knows</title>
    <originaltitle>Who knows for real</originaltitle>
    ***removed some lines***
</movie>

instead of

Code:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0234215/
