unRAID with CouchPotato

[Flomaster]

mcdonagg, thats a novel idea  I think I can install CP on my win7 laptop as well the wife is home and has it up and running often for her facebook and cafemom websites she visits.

 

I just think its strange when CP is running it gobbles up all my memory and kills my servers from any useful functionality.

Does CP do extensive logging to files that reside on the ram-based filesystem? Maybe that's how your memory is being abused by CouchPotato?

Has anyone took a look at this recently?  It looks like you can now set video quality etc.  I think I need to upgrade python to get it working.  Is there anything on how to do that?

Ya,

 

You just use the dependancy package here

 

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2903.msg30274#msg30274

 

and then use

 

installpkg /boot/custom/SABnzbdDependencies-2.0rc-i486-unRAID.tgz

 

and

 

#python /mnt/cache/.custom/couchpotato/CouchPotato.py -d

 

to install the dependencies and start the programs. The first time, run CouchPotato without the -d and let it run for a minute then use <ctrl>c to kill it. Edit the new ini file and put in the server IP address and port you want to use. Then, run it again with the the -d and you're good to go. Of course, you have to use the same directory structure as those lines or change them to match what you use.

 

I've been running CouchPotato for a while now with no ill effects.

 

If you run SickBeard too then make sure you edit the ini file and hard path the tmp and config directories or else they will appear in the directory you're at when you start SickBeard from (like on the flash drive if you start it from the go file).

Create a list of qualities CouchPotato should go through when searching for a movie. It will try and download from top to bottom. Using the finish-checkbox will mark the movie as "completed" when this quality is found.

When adding a movie, you have to select this profile inside the quality list, so give it a nice name.

How can I view that to make changes to the settings?  I'm using firefox 3.6.2.

 

[darbronnoco]

You should be able to click on the links then enter the variables.  was the config.ini file created in the CP directory on your cache drive? 

[lionelhutz]

You should be able to click on each of those items to access the setup.

 

Earlier versions of CP would not allow me to access those items from IE and only Firefox was working to do the setup. Now, IE works so maybe Firefox is broken? I'm not at home so I can't try it right now.

[darbronnoco]

Firefox on my mac is working for me. 

[eroz]

Yes the config.ini was created.  The same issue happens with IE. When I click on any of those tabs, nothing changes. But if I highlight the page and copy and paste into word,then i see what i think should be options to choose from.  Do i need to restate the server? 

 

I believe i downloaded the latest version from github. But when i access cp at 192.168.1.5:5000, it says my version is unknown.

[eroz]

I took a look at the logs and found this.

Edit the config.ini file and change the port. I use 8081 and up for my ports to fall right after unMENU.
