On Usenet in general, but not as a rule, more of them strictly adhere to "the rules" of describing releases by "the Scene" whoever the heck that might be. Although in many cases those rules are somewhat arbitrary, CP's categories actually more strictly adhere to "the rules" at least as described in this document I just so happened to be reading that shed a little light on the subject to me. CP is really optimized for use with usenet though it is also useful for finding releases that follow the same nomenclature on torrents as well.

Realistically some compromises in terms of reliability of operation and using the most standard nomenclature for file types is probably unavoidable.That being said the document linked describes some file descriptors I rarely see (and aren't in CP) so it may be a bit dated. That all said, its a tool to automate some downloading but it will never replace a human's capacity to decode releases with non-standard file names i.e. CP helps you automatically find stuff you want in the format you want but it does not find every non-standard named file you can find searching manually, esp in torrents where there is more diversity in files names and "release groups".

Does that make sense?

1. Download the zipfile: https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotato/zipball/master
2. Extract it and overwrite the files inside your CP folder with the content.
3. (Re)start CP

RuudBurger Wrote:About 2 weeks ago, github did something weird with the zipfile. (I think its because of https). So it bugged out the CP updater.
This wasn't my intention obviously Once you've updated, you should be able to update CP from within the browser.
