aahhhhh, i see. Excuse me for my noobiness but could you tell me where specifically to create the file?

I was wondering how to handle different movies that I want to go into different folders. I download movies for me and the wife and then movies for the kids. I have two folders that I put these in so that I can add them as different sources in xbmc to scan in their profiles.

Is there anyway to do this?

Mike: in the directory where CP is located.

rflores: Currently, the easiest way is to run several instances of CouchPotato.

Still having an issue with renamer not kicking off. I decided to redo and consolidate my entire movie collection so I moved everything into my 'unsorted' folder. I turned CouchPotato loose on it. It "found" everything, they're all showing up in my 'downloaded' folder, but they will not sort. Renamer just doesn't do anything. I've unchecked, checked the box. Done everything I can think of.

Any suggestions? Or even a command to force it.

Perhaps I am totally missing something but I cant seem to get CP working on Windows. I extracted the most recent version and put it on my desktop. When I select the CP.exe file two folder are created (Logs and Cache) but then nothing happens. I tried creating a debug.conf file but still nothing happens. Any ideas?

Same here....seems like it just started happening with the new build.

same here not moving or renaming file.

To all those where the renamer isn't doing anything: Please create an empty file called debug.conf in your CP installation directory. Then restart CouchPotato and have a look at the log or post it here.

DejaVu: I'll try contacting Ruud about the Windows binaries, but he should see your issue on GH anyway.

I'm also having problems with the renamer but I can't tell when it started as I only installed the CP app for the Mac this afternoon.

The first movie I tried, A Christmas Story, had a correctly-title movie folder created for it in the destination I'd set in CP, having downloaded via SABnzbd into the folder also set in CP. But the contents of the downloaded folder did not transfer, let alone rename, to the movie folder in the destination.

Since then CP hasn't even created a movie folder in the destination, just left everything un-named and un-moved in the folder SAB downloads to.

I have created the debug file and will have a look.
