CouchPotato - Automatic Movie Downloader via NZB & Torrents

I'm running Ubuntu 10.1. The install instructions for V1 don't relate to V2. Even assuming that in the init.d folder is a file called unbuntu that substitutes for 'initd.ubuntu', there is a file in V1 called 'default.ubuntu' that doesn't exist in V2, and even using that file from V1 instead, making the appropriate substitutions, and following all the instructions for the install of V1, doesn't work.

Basically, install works, initial run works. (via 'python...etc'), but init.d doesn't work, either manually or on OS boot.

yes they do, just ignore the /ect/defaults bit

edit the ubunu in the init directory

Quote:# path to app
APP_PATH=/usr/local/sbin/CouchPotatoServer/

# user
RUN_AS=YOUR_USERNAME_HERE

Then as with V1

Copy "initd.ubuntu" to /etc/init.d/couchpotato - > "sudo cp initd.ubuntu /etc/init.d/couchpotato"

So

Copy "ubuntu" to /etc/init.d/couchpotato - > "sudo cp ubuntu /etc/init.d/couchpotato

Then

Edit the required daemon settings in /etc/default/couchpotato - > editor /etc/default/couchpotato
If your CP installation isn't in "/opt/couchpotato/", make sure to change the path there also!
Make executable "sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/couchpotato" (already done the editing)
Add it to the startup items: "sudo update-rc.d couchpotato defaults"
Start with "sudo service couchpotato start"


So bar one line its exactly the same as the V1 setup.

EDIt //

and dont forget to remove your initial couchpotato setup first, or rename the second one. for exampleon my box the V1 is called Couchpotato (and disabled) the V2 is CouchpotatoS (and enabled)

Like I said, did all that, following the instructions just like I did with my v1 install, substituting where appropriate. Didn't work for me. i'll try again I guess.

I'm trying V2 at the moment but can't find a way to redownload something. I've had a couple of bad files come down that we're added through CP but unlike V1 I can't see the option to add it back to the queue. Is this possible?

Just tried removing it and installing it again, as per the install instructions from v1. No good. The python command will run it. Service start command and autostart on boot does not.

Couple of small issues -

First, is it possible to relocate the settings file? I'd actually like to run two instances of couchpotato.

Secondly, I keep seeing an issue where Updater.check runs forever

I see about a billion of these in the logs


16:09:32 INFO [chpotato.core._base._core] Waiting on plugins to finish: ['Updater.check']

Any ideas?

Hi guys, i just had a look at this but i can't get it to do any searches? I can add things to my wanted list, and the only provider i want to search is mysterbin. From the logs it doesnt look like it even tries to search there? Does anyone know? Thanks!

Ok i've found the problem in search.py, it didnt contain info about mysterbin! anyone know why? Is it bad? I've added it to the search.py now which seems to have fixed it..

is there anyway to force English title's when it's renaming movies? ie so "The Never Ending Story" dont become "Die unendliche Geschichte"

I am running v1 and I can't get it to run my post-processing script that runs Ember Media Manager. I put the file (test.bat) in the main CP directory and ticked the Post-Processing Script setting and for the path I entered "test.bat", but it never seems to run. I also tried creating the folder C:\script\, put the file in that folder and then entered "C\script\test.bat for the path, but still nothing happens. The script works if I run it manually.

Am I doing something wrong?
