recently i started using CouchPotato V2 and i had nothing but trouble ever since.. it's not just the horrific interface but the entire system is at fault..

 

the interface is ofcourse something personal, i think it should be clean and simple without all the fancy buttons and options that forces you to use a mouse instead of the much better keyboard.. i mean, setting up renaming files.. really, that was supposed to be a good idea?? however, that is not the real issue at hand..

 

the real issue is that after using CP v2 for about a minute or ten, other things start to fail.. i can no longer access the webinterface of SABnzbd or SickBeard.. give it a little longer and Plex Server comes crashing down and even the worst thing of all.. the unRAID interface can no longer be found..

 

fun stuff... everything keeps working but it's totally unaccessible.. my browser complains that a connection can not be established..

 

since I am setting up a new server, I decided to try a few things out like removing SickBeard and try again, leave PMS out and try again.. After removing everything from my USB drive and start with a clean install and only couhpotato on it the problem came back just as hard as before.. no matter what i do, after activating couchpotato the problem begins within ten minutes every time

 

so now i have moved back to V1 and everything works again as it should..

 

and i keep thinking.. this whole over the top interface, does it become such a memory hog that it clogs up everything else??

You have no information about your server (version of unRAID, amount of RAM, do you use a swap file, cache drive, where are your programs installed, etc...) for me to know where to even start with suggestions for you.

 

I have v2 of CouchPotato working great on my system. Link to my full system specs in my sig.

 

Interesting that v1 works for you. I used v1 previously on my current unRAID system (& tried it with the same results on 2 prior Windows systems). CouchPotata v1 would find & download movies just fine... but it never would rename them correctly. The download directory was named "movies" & no matter what file it found there, v1 renamed the file to "Movies, Aspirin and Vultures[2005]". If I downloaded multiple movies, it would keep overwriting "Movies, Aspirin and Vultures[2005]" with the newest download. I tried naming the "movie" directory other names & it still would overwrite the same file over & over. Luckily, v2 can rename things correctly for me.

 

I am not in love with the interface of either version... but v2 works the way I expect it to (& as you can see I run multiple other programs with no conflicts).

Probably would be good to include a syslog, have top running so you can see the usage statistics as its happening, and the same for memory. You are running out of something it seems.
