Renamer - p0504 - 2011-02-24 17:01
Hi Everyone,
I have a problem with the renamer of couchpotato. I tried to enable the renamer function, but always getting the following error:
18:45:29 INFO [ app.lib.cron.renamer] Watched folder doesn't exist.
Couchpotato is installed on my qnap NAS at the following location:
/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/CouchPotato/
In the settings i put the following path as downloading folder for SABNZBD which should be the watch folder.
/share/Qdownload/sabnzbd/complete/Movies
Does anyone has an idea why couchpotate still argues that the watch folder does not exists?
Thanks for the help.
Best Peter

I am probably being stupid here but i don't see anything in the `soon' link on Windows.
Also, could somebody point me in the right direction for announcing to xbmc?
EDIT: Ok notification to xbmc were really easy. Just wondering why "soon" doesn't work.

Just wondering, I setup SickBeard to work with SABnzbd+ and they "handshake" very well, no glitches whatsoever. I cant do the same thing with CP. Basically, its configured to the point where CP will send the download instruction to SAB, download will happen, but the file will stay in SAB's complete folder.... The movie is not moved to the download folder of CP, no post processing is done.
For SickBeard, sabtosickbeard.py is the script that does it all... what do you use for CP?
I also set the "Download Folder" in CP's options to the path where my collection is stored but no post processing is done on the existing movies, and the list of the movies is not present in CP's (similar to SickBeard's tv shows list). How do you perform post processing on existing movies? (Similar to Add Shows in SickBeard)?
Thanks!

Nothing.
This probably needs stated more often: CouchPotato doesn't do the same things that sickbeard does, and because of this works in a different manner!
In Config>Renaming>Download folder you should have something like ".../complete/Movies". Movies is the category that CP assigns to downloads in SAB, and SAB puts files with the Movies category in a Movies subdir under your download folder.
CP then checks that folder like once a minute for new downloads and then processes them as specified in the renamer options.

I understand CouchPotato only search for torrents on thepiratebay.
I live in italy where direct access to tpb is blocked (i can access it through a proxy though)
Is there any way i can tell CP to use a proxy or vpn?
please help me, i really want to use this awesome sw!
Any idea on this matter?
Renamer question - Abe Froman - 2011-02-25 15:35
Is there any way to have CP move the movies which have reach "Finish" quality to a different destination than from those which are downloaded in a non-Finish quality? This would make it clearer which movies are truly "complete" and which ones are still waiting on a final download.

is it possible to specify more than one movie folder for the renaming? here's the problem, my collection is huge and it doesnt all fit on one external drive. so i have 2 drives, 1 is for movies wich start with the letters a-m and the other one is for the letters n-z. is it in any way possible to implement something like that into CP?
other than that i just love CP, thanks for all your great work!

HenryFord Wrote:I had a similiar problem a long time, because CouchPotatoe always was trying to touch the (huge) files while they were being extracted by sabnzbd. Sabnzbd move the files to the final download-destination before it extracts the files. So...you have the problem that CP tries to move a file while it is not actually finished yet.Just wanted to point that out...
I did it for myself and built a little c#-app that does the post-processing for me and moves the files to yet another directory. That is working really good so far, no more problems with CP since then.

OK that confirms what I thought, but still I wonder about the existing movies... are you saying CP will not post process them?
Just to be sure I understand right, my movies are in /mnt/media-storage/movies/
SAB has the "Completed Download Folder" set to /mnt/media-storage/ & has the "movies" category set to /movies. So i imagine the final path for movies in SAB will be /mnt/media-storage/movies.
CP has the "Download folder" set to /mnt/media-storage/movies which matches the download path of SAB.
Shouldn't it work with these parameters?

You had some other problem. Sabnzbd prepends _UNPACK_ to the foldername of files that it is unpacking. CouchPotato does not even touch movies in folders with that. If it was as you say, then everyone would have the problem and they don't.

No.
CP moves movies from the download folder to their final download location, which is specified in "Renamer>Movie destination".
CP isn't designed to manage or rename your existing movie collection.
You can fake it out by moving movies from wherever to the folder specified in "Renamer>Download folder". You have to be sure they are in their own subfolder within that folder, of course. CP will then process the movie and move it to the folder specified in "Renamer>Movie destination"
