Edit: Actually, looking more closely it looks like sickbeard's standalone installers are up to date with their source for Python. Have they pulled support for that indexer? .

I just added it manually like many others. if you check Here you will see that you can just add the indexer

I finally got around to configuring CouchPotato and it's only half working. It's sending the nzb to SAB and that's downloading it and putting it in the directory I specified in the 'movies' category. However CouchPotato is not renaming it and putting it in the "Movie destination" folder.

How exactly is SAB letting CP know the file is done downloading? I know with Sickbeard, the sabtosickbeard script is what sends it back to Sickbeard. But there is no such script for CP. Is CP supposed to monitor that folder?

first did you remove any post-processing from SAB so it doesnt process the files after downloading.

Second, in CP under Renaming, you have a check mark under enabled and everything configured?

I think there's a couple of possibilities. Output folder from SAB or import folder in Couchpotato. You might have put some strange post processing settings in SAB or you might have the wrong folder set up in Couchpotato. When Couchpotato does not process the downloaded files, it means that it probably can't find any new files in it's monitored folder. Or it might be a password protected compressed file. That CAN happen as well.

Thanks all for the replies. It's probably something misconfigured on my end with one of the folders. Will take a look at it tonight and verify.

Hello,

I've followed all the steps here for SAB, SickBeard, and CouchPotato. SAB and Sickbeard work well, but I can't get CouchPotato to work. Here are my logs from CP:

Code:

00:00 ERROR [         app.lib.cron.eta] Failed to open http://couchpotatoapp.com/api/eta/tt1568346/.

00:00 ERROR [     app.lib.provider.rss] Something went wrong in urlopen: <urlopen error timed out>

59:55 INFO  [er.yarr.sources.nzbmatrix] Found:

Looks like it finds the nzb fine but fails to connect with SAB? Nothing shows up on nzb.

I know my SAB api key has been entered correctly.

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks

Thank you for the guide!

I am getting the nzb's sent to sab and its downloading them great and putting them in the destination folder i specified. But its not sending them back to sickbeard to have it rename, clean up, and move to my series folders.

I have that script set up correctly i think. Can anyone give me a more detailed description of how to get sab to send downloads to sickbeard to be renamed, cleaned up, and transferred to the correct tv show folder? thanks in advance
