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
Thought that I hadn't had any updates in a while.
Just done that but now CP seems to be stuck in some infinite update loop.
It tells me there's an update so I press the update button, it does its thing and when I reload the page the update available label is there again.
If I click diff it shows: f1e9a98 and master are identical.
Any solution to that? I'm guessing this is something simple but I'm a git noob.

Are the folder permissions correct?

They are now
Thanks.
EDIT: I did:
chmod -R +rwx
on my couchpotato directory which seems to have worked for anyone having the same issue.

I have a question regarding CouchPotato.
For some time now I have known about this program, however there is a nagging question that I feel I need to ask.
How does CouchPotato deal with the fact that some movies are released in poor condition and sometimes corrupt? Currently, When I want to get a new movie I jump on Astraweb and I tend to choose what I want based on whether the comments are good. I generally steer clear of releases that have files missing or corrupted and ones with bad quality audio or video.
Does CouchPotato have some kind of way do deal with this issue? Or is it simply a matter of letting it do it's thing and hoping to god you dont get a bad file.
IMO, it's a waste of bandwidth (especially in Australia) to let to a program download something and only to discover that it has crappy audio or something.

It rates the movies by name, size etc. Proper and repacks get a better score for example. I rarely get a corrupt movie and I download a lot
If you know release groups you like, put them in "preferred words" under settings. Groups or tags you don't want you can block via ignored words.
- HenryFord - 2011-08-16 12:57
Also - you can control the releases via the quality-profiles. If it is released by scene groups for example as xvid dvd-rip you won't get crappy audio...

I see that you added PPVrip in the newest update (under screener). Great and thank you. WHat takes precedence on quality? Usually the PPVrip are better quality than screeners from what I have seen so will CP looks for PPVrip first?
ALso I was wondering if there was a way to neatly show the movies downloaded maybe by downloaded date or abc. also I way to show/hide the downloaded movies on the ui.
- RuudBurger - 2011-08-16 17:01
Nope, score is still calculated like normal. The PPVRips I downloaded are all 4:3 and very blurry, so I don't feel like they are betteer then the screeners..
Add "ppvrip" to your preferred words, to get them on top.

That brings up a good point, or question for me. I've been following this thread for a while, but don't think I've seen this answered.
How does CP determine which movie to download? Is it STRICTLY via the size requirements listed, or does it also try to interpret things from the name as well? How does it all work?
- RuudBurger - 2011-08-16 17:16
It does some simple scoring calculation. Things like Proper, Repack, Bluray etc give it a higher score.
