CouchPotato V2 plugin

Featured Replies

That's my feeling. When booting the plugins wait for the disks_mounted event to fire before they start. Starting them manually of course means the server is up already.

I finally made a new version of CouchPotato V2 plugin in which i add some improvements like chooising github and even branch from which user can install CP2. I also added data persistency and data storage information only on user demand. Feel free to check out new version on GitHub: https://github.com/W-W/unRAID.

I am having some issues with the latest CP V2 plugin. Everything seems to have installed fine but when I look at the settings for editing the quality, all of the default profiles and qualities are missing. This means that CP is unable to distinguish between different film qualities! Below is a link to a screenshot of what I am seeing.

I am also having problems with the management feature, after selecting the correct folder none of the films are found during a library scan.

 

Any help or thoughts on these problems would be greatly appreciated!

I think that's more a CouchPotato issue than a plugin issue.  It only found about 4 of my movies, and that was one time.  I've tried to get it to find more other times, before and after, and it found nothing.  Just those few movies once.

 

As for the other issue, maybe a browser cache refresh might help.  Shift-refresh often helps when going from one version to another of a plugin or web interface.

To be honest I am not too bothered about the management not working but CP will not be functional until I get the qualities to work...

 

I have tried a browser cache refresh as you suggested but that had made no difference. Any other ideas?

Try to rename/remove the three database files in the data directory.

 

Couchpotato.db

Couchpotato.db-shm

couchpotato.db-wal

 

You'll have to shutdown couchpotato and possibly chown the files to remove them...

 

Actually, before doing that, can you post your couchpotato log?

according github did he change this

 

https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer/commit/9200912767628267c0ae665d70b6de39412658b5

 

but i tried to put the old code back and no joy ...

but i am not a programmer :P

 

there is nothing in the logs :(

it starts when started as root but it doesn't use the existing database then

so it has to be some permission issue .... but not sure what...  for the fun did i update my couchpotatoV2 dir to 0777 but that has changed nothing to the behaviour...

BE AWARE IF YOU REBOOT THE SERVER WITH COUCH ENABLED IT WILL CAUSE A SEGFAULT IN EMHTTP and you will have no access to your gui....

only thing you can do is disable it and reboot :(

 

Thats very interesting... I'll have to try and reproduce it on my end, his change shouldn't have a negative effect, definitely not one like your seeing...

 

I did notice its looking for the config file at /boot/config/plugins/couchpotatoV2/ but your indicating its located at /mnt/cache/couchpotatov2/...which is it?

I am also having problems with CP2, getting a permission denied when trying to start it, only started today

I think I'm seeing symptoms of the same issue.  When I try and start CP2 (either from an autostart on a reboot or from the GUI), it hangs.  Normally I have it set to run as "nobody".  If I change the plugin settings to run as "root", CP starts, but ignores whatever I've set as the data_dir (currently /mnt/cache/.apps/couchpotato_v2, which is also the install directory) and creates a new data directory: /root/.couchpotato

 

I suspect the reason the start hung initially is that "nobody" doesn't have permissions to write to the /root directory.  This just started today for me as well.

 

I've tried deleting everything and starting from scratch.  The plugin is installing CP2 into the correct /mnt/cache/.apps/couchpotato_v2 directory, but whatever I set for the data directory is ignored.

working now here too

how you guys did the update ?

 

 

You can reboot, or delete the /usr/local/couchpotato directory, then install

I have reinstalled the plugin and I no longer have the problem with the missing qualities!

 

I am still having problems with the manage feature not picking up any movies. I think this must be an issue with permissions but I am a linux newbie and I do not know how to change the permissions. What do I need to do?

 

EDIT: It is working now!

The manage feature is a bit hit or miss right now. I think its very much a work in progress

I'm a little new to unraid but I've made a little progress (have simplefeatures and plex installed). How should I be going about installing couch potato?

 

I tried this and a reboot but no joy. Sure I'm just going about it the wrong way.

Tower login: root
Linux 3.0.31-unRAID.
root@Tower:~# installplg /boot/config/plugins/couchpotato_v2_mod.plg
installing plugin: couchpotato_v2_mod

Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/boot/config/plugins/couchpotato_v2_mod.plg" in /usr/local/sbin/installplg on line 13
xml parse error

 

Thanks

Bumbing this... I have the same issue as the guy above me.. Please advice.

This version of the plugin is very old and no longer supported. Use the current version from Influencer's thread.

Yes please use the version from my thread, this one is no longer maintained. Link is in my Sig.

 

As for your question, on github you can scroll down until you see downloads and download from there. You most likely downloaded the link at the top which takes you to another html page, not the plg itself.

I'm afraid i'm having a similar problem influencer,  when i go to install your plugin i get the following errors (please see attached).

Installing_CP2.txt

You downloaded from the wrong link. From my github repo, scroll down until you see "DOWNLOADS" and right click > Save as.

 

Also, for further help with my plug-ins, please post in the all in one thread starting with "Influencers Plug-ins". I don't always check here :)

Bloody hell! lol

 

Thanks mate  :)

Will this plugin be customized for 4.5 or 4.7?
