CP checks the existing destination location for video files smaller than the newly downloaded file and deletes them.

I suppose it will get implemented eventually, it's not a terribly high priority at the moment though, since it doesn't actually affect the functionality.

Thanks. I'm not upset at the issue. It's just my OCD-nature that prevents me from letting go. Smile
Indeed, it doesn't affect the functionality.

I have been fiddling around with the renamer settings and have been making some progress. Looking at config.py file, I noticed some variables that are NOT listed in the actual web interface. Here's what's in the config.py file:
replacements = {
'cd': ' cd1',
'cdNr': ' 1',
'ext': 'mkv',
'namethe': 'Big Lebowski, The',
'thename': 'The Big Lebowski',
'year': 1998,
'first': 'B',
'original': 'The.Big.Lebowski.1998.1080p.BluRay.x264.DTS-GROUP',
'group':'GROUP',
'audio':'DTS',
'video':'x264',
'quality': '1080P'

It would be helpful if the renamer section of the interface would include such variables as "video", "audio", "group" etc. Otherwise, it's hard to know that these even exist.

Anyway, couchpotato has come a long way in a short time, so keep up the great work!

Please tell me how to fix this

Code:

You'll notice that CP/SAB downloads the .torrent but the immediately deletes it. This doesn't happen with every movie, but obviously not the way you want it.

For instance, this is a file that is currently downloading correctly

Code:
21:26:34 INFO  [          app.lib.sabNzbd] Sending 'The Dark Knight 2008 BluRay 1080p DTS x264 dxva EuReKA' to SABnzbd.

I configured SAB to use 20 connection based on my giganews account. Is it deleting the Casino Royla .torrent because the Dark Knight.torrent is using all 20 connections?

I feel like I am missing a piece of the puzzle here.


- Mike8913 - 2011-01-08

also....is there any way to get CP to "forget" what files it has tried to download so tht they can be tried more than once?

Referring to

As you can read in the log you posted, it says that the filesize is too small for a 720p movie. You can change the setting for the minimal size of certain file types in the settings.

I'm not sure, but I think that the filesize is stored in the torrent (or nzb). So it needs to download the torrent before it can say if the filesize is OK. If not, it simply deletes the torrent.

Quote:I configured SAB to use 20 connection based on my giganews account. Is it deleting the Casino Royla .torrent because the Dark Knight.torrent is using all 20 connections?

Torrents and nzbs (bittorrent and usenet) have nothing to do with each other. So the 20 connection you use on giganews (usenet) have nothing to do with whatever bittorrent client you're using.

My guess is that the two pieces of logs you posted have nothing to do with each other.

CouchPotato's userscript now works with trakt.tv as well.


- blargman - 2011-01-08

I'm not sure how the quality system works and how it auto grabs a better quality.

Could anyone explain how they have theirs setup or provide a screenshot. I'd like it setup so that it grabs at the least dvd and then automatically tries to grab a better copy up to 1080p.


- Mike8913 - 2011-01-08

If I enable torrents in CP, should I have them download to the same folder as SAB downloads NZBs to? And if so does CP automatically extract and rename torrents to the Movie folder as well?


- Mike8913 - 2011-01-08

Also, ive seen it mentioned here several times now with no response. Is there anyway to get CP to forget it tried a download, in otherwords, to prevent CP from ignoring files?

Same question here. Objective would be to download anything (except unknown) and then later upgrade to HD once available. I tried to achieve this by "custom", but face 2 issues:

1) It continues to download "unknown" although I unmarked it in settings.
2) I didn't find any option to prevent it from downloading 1080p in case I already managed to download 720p earlier.


Any thoughts?


- cosmicr - 2011-01-09

okay, I understand the pain in getting CP quality set up the way you want.

for custom downloading, you MUST create a quality profile.

here are some screenshots of my setup:

Image

you can see I have a quality profile called "Low Quality until Best Available". What it does is downloads any of the qualities listed, in order of first preference (720p in this case) to last preference (cam).

If it can only find say for example an R5, then it will snatch that download, and keep looking until it finds one of the qualities with 'finish' ticked.

When it's still looking for a better quality it looks like this:

Image

where you can see it's already found two different qualities (shown in green), but not my 'finish'ed quality.

hopefully this will help some with their setup Smile

Was it ever sorted out as to why some people get:

Version: UNKNOWN Build.

?

I thought this was because the .git folder still existed and broke the updater.
Deleting the .git folder enables the auto updater and should fix this... yes?


- fryster - 2011-01-11

Firstly, WOW, what a great thing this is!

I'm interested in using the feature that allows this to be used with sharethetv, in simple terms how would I update/modify my copy of couch potato to allow this to happen?

Many Thanks!

I just renamed mine, restarted CP and it still shows as unknown.
