I have a few questions I am hoping Ill get answers to so If I have posted in the wrong section feel free to move however it is docker related.

 

Up till now I have been hoping I will be able to configure CP to do any unpacking of stuff I download, and credit to Binhex for adding unrar to the docker it would seem CP in general has about as much support as a D cup lady wearing no bra with the last commit being in February.

 

So I am now forced to let my downloading program do all the unpacking for me.

 

So this is where I am at.

 

I have Sickrage that I use for my TV shows and I use deluge to do all the downloading (not really interested with NZB as main source).

I have CP (Unfortunately there are no other options on this or trust me I would try) that I use for my movie downloads.

From what I can see there are no options to have any tv shows that finish downloading go into lets call it "finished shows" and any movies that finish downloading go into lets call it "finished movies" without me manually moving them after they finish downloading, which defeats the purpose of the whole system being automatic in the first place.

 

Have I got that correct so far?

 

So if that option isnt open to me and I have ALL finished tv shows and movies go into the one folder lets call it "finished downloads" how many errors or warnings is sickrage and CP going to spit out saying basically "What on earth is this". Or will CP simply ignore what it doesnt recognized? Lets just call this my OCD kicking in, I dont like errors in programming.

If you create labels you can have deluge put your downloads in the correct finished folders. In deluge go preferences->plugins and enable the label plugin, click ok. On the left side under filter you will find "label", right click and click add label, type the name for the label and click ok. Create as many lables you want but for your setup you'll only need two. Left click "label" so all your labels are showing, right click a label and click label options, go to the location tab and enable "apply location settings" and "move completed to", then you type in the location according to your mappings.

 

Then in SR go to search settings->torrent search and type in the label you created for shows in "add label to torrent" do the same in CP for the movie label (think it's under "downloaders" or something. Now SR and CP will add the correct label to the torrents and deluge will move them to the correct folder for post processing

 

Edit: And last time I checked CP was unpacking things just fine (movies that is), been a while since I've used CP tho.

First up thanks for the tip, the label idea worked a treat.

So now I have a label I created called shows within deluge and have set the label to move any torrent with the show label to a directory called shows once the torrent is complete. So everything is sweet right?

 

Wrong..... this is driving me insane.

 

Its one thing for deluge to move a complete torrent that has "X" label to a folder. And its something completely different for it to extract the rar file before it moves the torrent.

 

GOD how can something so easy turn into a living friggin nightmare.

I don't really understand the problem. Why can't you let SR and CP handle the extraction like most people?

If you have problems with it, have you checked your debug logs? SR and CP handles rar extraction just fine last time I checked so must be a problem on your side if it doesn't work.

HEHE Im using Binhex CP which he has kindly added unrar binary to the image this week, which is great. Unfortunately there is a bug in one of the .py files https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45837.msg479963#msg479963 so CP isnt extracting at all. And because the kind people over at CP do a commit once in a blue moon I dont see that bug being fixed any time soon.

 

I could try using another version of CP and see how it goes.

 

However to date every other post I have made so far regarding unrar has been meet with a standard "why dont you just let the download client unrar the file". I feel like im chasing my tail at the moment.

 

However I will uninstall my current version of CP and try a different one.

 

Once again thank you for your advise, Im willing to try everything.

If it's a bug within Couchpotato then hasn't been fixed within their code then you can be sure that bug will be within every Couchpotato docker container.

linuxserver.io's container works. At least it did 2 weeks ago when I unrared a test file trying to debug something for a buddy of mine.

I would agree with you but im willing to try anything before I go back to using MCM on my Windows VM which I really dont want to do.

OP seems to be saying this is a bug within CouchPotato.

If the issue he's referring to is within the CouchPotato source code and hasn't yet been fixed, it'll be in our version too.  We can't control that.

 

 

 

 

Well Im not sure what linuxserver.io did different but it actually seems to be working. I will for my own sanity do a full download test but yes it actually looks like this version is working fine.

If that is the case ill let binhex know.

Binhex's images are from the AUR on Arch Linux, which may not be quite so up to date.  It's the well worn argument between bleeding edge and stable again.  No right or wrong answer, just depends on your philosophy.  Binhex is very good at updating his containers when there's an upstream update in the AUR.

 

If it's fixed in our container then that means your issue wasn't the one linked to as that is still open on github.

Here is a first world problem for you, trying to find a test movie when you have over 1100 1080p movies already.

Btw I remember now that I've seen this unrar problem before with SR, iirc it has to do with the unrar version. Think it was something about the unrar "free" version not playing nice, so when you talk to binhex get him to try another unrar version.

So far everything seems to be working ok, will test it for a little while longer before I turn my VM off.
