- Phokus - 2010-12-25

I installed couch potato as a service on my WHS machine, but i can't access it from my regular computer through my web browser for some reason, but i can access sabnzbd and sickbeard. I put the host as 'localhost' and port as '7072' but i can't access it. I can access sabnzbd and sickbeard with http://homerserver:7070 and http://homeserver:7071, but couch potato (http://homeserver:7072) doesn't work. The internal IP address doesn't work either (http://192.168.1.133:7072)

I downloaded the zip files but the install failed in the addons menu. Is CP caatable with Dharma or is that the problem?

CP doesn't have anything to do with the XBMC addons menu.

In fact, until a little while ago it didn't have anything to do with XBMC at all. Now it can tell XBMC to update your library, but it's not installed through XBMC addons.

It doesn't seem CouchPotato can handle 2 disc movies, only the first one gets moved over.

This is probably old news lol

Then how do you install it?

Some one gave me instructions about cloning git and all this other stuff, but to a newb like me this doesnt mean much. Can you point me towards some info on how to install this is a detailed way?

And to the guy that didn't have Python 2.6 installed:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/

From the 6th post:

darkscout,

for some reason python wont install. I mounted the dmg and installed python 2.65, but couchpotato still won't install. I checked the usr/bin/ directory and python 2.65 folder does not exist. Only python 2.5. Any Ideas?

It doesn't install in /usr/bin, it installs in

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python2.6

It also puts symbolic links in:
/usr/local/bin/python2.6

So there won't be anything in /usr/bin/

There is a script called "Update Shell Profile.command" that should add the path to your terminal settings.

Is there any way to get CP to download proper NFOs, without putting just the link into it? My HTPC has no access to the internet, just local network access, which allows me to run a cleaner system without worrying about AV, firewalls, etc, which also means that XBMC can't scan things for itself. With the way CP does things I still have to manually go in and create the NFO myself, which is a slight pain.


- Tbtf - 2010-12-27

darkscout i cd into the directory where python and the versions i have installed are 2.6 2.7 3.1 Current
..

how do i select 2.6 in order to run the couchpotato script?

I think the problem is 2.5 is being selected as you stated in a previous post.

also i can not locate this script Update Shell Profile.command that you are referring to

It's on the todo list.

Got CP working fairly well. Seeing a decent miss rate though on some searches. (ignores 1080p and dl's a dvdrip, for example). Manually checking the search provider reveals the 1080p version, within retention period and size ranges .. Sad

Also - There doesn't seem to be any way to clear CP's "memory" so to speak of searched stuff for a particular title - which makes it hard to go back and try to fix stuff when it misfinds or misdls stuff. Any way to do this manually?

Also also - currently XBMC doesn't support segment linking/ordered chapters within a single mkv file - which means all the "2in1" releases that contain standard and extended cuts within a single file, etc. - are currently unusable - is there a way to include an option to skip 2in1 tagged releases?

Logs would help here. I would guess you've got some sort of misconfiguration as I have never had this problem.

I don't understand what you mean here. What "memory" and how does it make what you're trying to do harder?

I pm'd the logs if you don't mind, thanks for any help you can provide!

Ok, so for example, lets say that CP finds and DLs a specific release. I decide that I want it to DL a different one, so I tell it to reprocess, and when it asks if it should re-DL the same one, I say no. Now if I have buyers remourse on that secont one and want to go back and dl the original one, there is no way I can ever do that. When CP sees it, it generates this in the logs: "INFO [pp.lib.provider.yarr.base] Already tried this one, ignored:" - even if I completely delete the movie from the interface and readd it. Was just wondering if there was a way to clear out that memory should I ever want to go back and DL something over again.

No way to do that currently.
