CouchPotato - Automatic Movie Downloader via NZB & Torrents

Things without deadlines tend to linger far too long. Best to estimate release date and work towards that due to scope creep etc.

Then create a fork yourself and set a date for release. Or just enjoy the constant alpha/beta status. Or check out Valve time and stop caring about trivial stuff.

i have always just moved things around manually, but, i am now trying to automate my entire HTPC process so that my wife can operate it with as minimal tweaking on her part.

so is there a way that when you add a movie in couchpotato, to have the movie moved to my designated folder when complete? ie somehow tag it "action" when you add it to wanted list, then it's moved to J:\Movies\Action when the download is complete in sabnzbd

I can't think of any way to do what your asking. Why sort all the stuff in the first place? Why not let XBMC handle the genres?

That said, it works well right now, and I don't remember if V1 ever technically made it to release. The best thing to do is run the beta as is, and enjoy the functionality it already has.

I'm using CP-V2. Anyone knows what files to delete to clean the wanted-list and pull complete watchlist again from scratch?

That's stored in the database. You'd have to delete the db-file, but then you would have to setup everything again (except for your settings, those will stay persistent, even if you delete the db)

Was wondering if there was a way to easily add movie's from the XBMC interface? This would get a massive thumbs up from the wife and kids.

how does the automation work on v2? Do I just fill in the fields year, votes, rating, check every and it will do the rest? Where is it searching for these movies? or do I have to add imdb rss feed?

No, but there's an app for that...

Hello,

CP has suddenly stopped renaming and moving my downloaded movie files. Is anyone else experiencing this?
