First of all, thank you for this magnificent software.
I understand CouchPotato only search for torrents on thepiratebay.
I live in italy where direct access to tpb is blocked (i can access it through a proxy though)
Is there any way i can tell CP to use a proxy or vpn?
please help me, i really want to use this awesome sw!

Okay. Explanation. Couch Potato sends NZB to SABnzbd. Download completes. File is moved to proper "Movies" directory. No renaming occurs. No errors in log.
I think it would be nice if Couch Potato ran a post-processing script similar to what Sick Beard does. This would process the file according to your preferences and then also notify Couch Potato of the status and whether the movie was downloaded successfully.
As of right now, when a download completes I have to manually mark the "snatched" movie as "downloaded" in the Couch Potato web interface.

I had a similiar problem a long time, because CouchPotatoe always was trying to touch the files while they were being extracted by sabnzbd. Sabnzbd move the files to the final download-destination before it extracts the files. So...you have the problem that CP tries to move a file while it is not actually finished yet.
I did it for myself and built a little c#-app that does the post-processing for me and moves the files to yet another directory. That is working really good so far, no more problems with CP since then.

Hi Everyone,
I have a problem with the renamer of couchpotato. I tried to enable the renamer function, but always getting the following error:
18:45:29 INFO [ app.lib.cron.renamer] Watched folder doesn't exist.
Couchpotato is installed on my qnap NAS at the following location:
/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/CouchPotato/
In the settings i put the following path as downloading folder for SABNZBD which should be the watch folder.
/share/Qdownload/sabnzbd/complete/Movies
Does anyone has an idea why couchpotate still argues that the watch folder does not exists?
Thanks for the help.
Best Peter

I am probably being stupid here but i don't see anything in the `soon' link on Windows.
Also, could somebody point me in the right direction for announcing to xbmc?
EDIT: Ok notification to xbmc were really easy. Just wondering why "soon" doesn't work.

Just wondering, I setup SickBeard to work with SABnzbd+ and they "handshake" very well, no glitches whatsoever. I cant do the same thing with CP. Basically, its configured to the point where CP will send the download instruction to SAB, download will happen, but the file will stay in SAB's complete folder.... The movie is not moved to the download folder of CP, no post processing is done.
For SickBeard, sabtosickbeard.py is the script that does it all... what do you use for CP?
I also set the "Download Folder" in CP's options to the path where my collection is stored but no post processing is done on the existing movies, and the list of the movies is not present in CP's (similar to SickBeard's tv shows list). How do you perform post processing on existing movies? (Similar to Add Shows in SickBeard)?
Thanks!
