CouchPotato - Automatic Movie Downloader via NZB & Torrents

Do a git pull and try again. I removed the the check for username/password.

Thank you that fixed the problem

Can I suggest that you add the ability to change the sort order on the home screen (title/year/quality/etc) and maybe some kind of post-processing script as in Sickbeard?

Thanks again!

Will there be a standalone windows version available?

Here's a few more suggestions after playing with this last night:

• Deal with sub (and other misc) files when you move/rename
• clean up after a move/rename
• maybe have the option to use avimerge to combine multi disc releases when you move/rename
  

Freek,

I am of the mindset that if there is use of avimerge to join multi disc downloads, that it should be a selectable choice by the user. Too many times multi disc downloads have audio sync problems that need to be taken care of first otherwise joining the files causes the problems to be magnified as the file plays. I like your other suggestions though.

There will be a standalone .exe and .app. But for now I have no idea how to do this. I've looked at some python to exe/app scripts, but my low skill in python don't help me here..

@Freek:
Are there any other files besides subs that need moved? I mostly only download HD mkv's, so the subs are included and XBMC handles the rest.
I don't want to make a cleanup script just yet. Not want to risk removing "important" files. Maybe an options to fill in what extensions should be copied too..

As for the avimerge. This won't be implemented, XBMC handles multiple files just fine
But I could make an option to run a custom python script on the moved files.

There's normally a few different files contained in the rar's (I can't think of any others but .nfo and .srt off the top of my head but there are more). I like the idea of being able to select what extensions are copied over then the rest is just junk

Again, the custom script option would be excellent and will be able to solve more than I requested.

Cheers

Very nice initiative! I also have an input:

It would be really nice to make it download movies in a smart way and totally independent of inputs, like sickbeard does for series. of course for movies it is less straightforward. One possible way i have in mind would be the following:
The program scans a release website (i.e. a (not-warez!!) website that posts scene releases) for new posts/movies. When it has found a new item, it should go through a boolean challenge, e.g. download=true if imdbscore>6 and imdb_numberofvote>1000 and....
The advantage of scene release websites compared to nzb sites is that only new releases are posted and by category (dvdrip/TS etc), while on nzb sites the movies are posted multiple times and categories are mostly xvid, which can be multiple formats.
An exemple of such a website: scenereleases.info

I think (but not completely sure) ember media managers also works with a command line. This could be run afterwards to get fanart, trailer, etc...

Do you think this would be feasible (on long term offcourse).

That sounds like an awesome idea! and pretty feasible.
I'm thinking of including http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/ anyway. because i notice theMovieDB misses some info sometime..

I was thinking along the same lines as sickbeard - that runs on python - maybe midgetspy could help you out a bit?
