[Release thread] Couchpotato plugin

[Master Gollom]

The PBI is still available at:

https://github.com/MasterGollom/PBI/tree/master/Couchpotato/pbi

EDIT: Since there are some users having troubles downloading the pbi here should be a working tutorial on how to download it:

1) Go to https://github.com/MasterGollom/PBI
2) click the "download zip" link in the lower right under "clone to desktop"

As soon as the PBI are tested ok, they will be added to the FreeNAS Gui by the FreeNAS-team.
thx

Cheers

This is all fantastic news! In the meanwhile - if anybody wants to download these pbi's - the master folder (https://github.com/MasterGollom/PBI) still has a zip-file.

For people that use freenas on low powered equipment. Couchpotato monitors a folder every so often and over time I've found Couchpotato to run away and throttle the processor. I'd therefore suggest turning this off and using a script on sabnzbd to push them over the Couchpotato for sorting.

This is a Couchpotato thing so not a problem with the PBI.

I use the scripts on nzbToMedia, but there are others out there.

Hope this helps...

FIXED, SEE BELOW!!!

I'm trying to get all three of your PBIs to run as the same user to minimize permissions problems. Sabnzbd went fine, however, when I edit couchpotato/etc/rc.d/couchpotato to switch to ${couchpotato_user:="tom"}, I get this error:

Code:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchpotato: WARNING: failed to start couchpotato

Do you know what I am doing wrong? Obviously I chowned both /mnt/ folders and the main PBI folder to the correct user.


FIXED: I tried sabnzbd first, and there the rc.d file was symlinked from the PBI-dir to /usr/local/etc, so I assumed it was the same way in couchpotato and sickbeard. It wasn't, so I edited the wrong files. Everything is fine now :)

hi, I'm having a problem with Couchpotato, it fails to rename or move the files.

this was in log.

Hi,

Please check the permissions of the files. If it is a permissions problem, you have to set up the right permissions in the sabnzbd config.

 

[ShinobiX9X]

Hi,

Thank you, it was Transmission. when i set umask to 0, it works fine now.

 

[SinDeus]

Hello there!

First of all, thank you for your work. It is greatly appreciated.
But, as you may guess, I ran into a problem when installing the CouchPotato plugin...

The console shows this error:

Code:

Sep  3 09:57:21 freenas manage.py: [common.pipesubr:57] Popen()ing: /usr/sbin/jexec 3 /usr/local/sbin/pbi_add  -f --no-checksig /.plugins/couchpotato-1.0-amd64.pbi

"Impossible de récupérer" means "Unable to retrieve" (yeah, system's in French).

So, this basically describes my issues when trying to install a plugin (among the four new ones: CouchPotato, Bacula, SABnzbd, SickBeard): no entry is visible under the "plugins" section of the tree, and I can't start them via the GUI (the button stays on "OFF", while the spinner, well, spins for ever).

I run on FreeNAS-9.1.0-RELEASE-x64 (dff7d13).

What can I do? Upgrade to 9.1.1? Downgrade? Fix some kind of jail configuration?

Thank you for your help. And if I didn't provide sufficient information, please let me know.

 

[Master Gollom]

Hi,

Please check your ip configuration of the NAS and the Jails. Looks like there's something wrong. Can you ping the jail from your network? Can you ping the NAS from within the jail?

 

[ShinobiX9X]

For what i'ts worth, i had many problems in 9.1 that seem to be solved in 9.1.1

9.1.1 est 9.1.0 sans les bugs, si j'ai bien compri

 

[SinDeus]

Holy jeez! I figured it out, thanks to you Master G.

I tried to ping the NAS from within every jail (I have 3 of them): they all worked, except for the CouchPotato one. First clue.
I tried to ping every jail from the NAS: they all responded, but the CouchPotato one seemed to respond after a greater delay than the 2 others. Second clue.
Then, quick look at the console:

Code:

Sep  3 11:19:49 freenas kernel: arp: f4:ca:e5:63:41:65 is using my IP address 192.168.1.28 on epair2b!

Aha! My IP configuration was indeed faulty: a device on my network ended up with the same IP as my newly created jail. This issue was meant to raise on the third jail: it fell on the poor CouchPotato.

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. Have a great day!

 

[SinDeus]

Aaaaaaaaand I'm back. With a different problem (what's with me today?).
Long story short: I can't, through the CouchPotato web GUI, list the contents of my jail mount point. However, when I connect to this jail via the console, the mount point works perfectly...
It most certainly is a permission issue (though I have set the mount point owner to 1001:media, and its permission to 775 - event 777, just for the fun), but I can't understant what's going on. My transmission plugin was set up this exact same way, and sees / writes on the mount point.
Are there any kind of logs I could look at to have a better understanding of what happens here?

EDIT:
OK, I figured it out: it was not a permission issue, but an encoding one. My mount point was containing folders with accented characters, which are not fully supported by CouchPotato (Sickbeard has no problem with them, for the record). After I renamed my folders, they were finally visible.

 

[ShinobiX9X]

Hi there,
no worrys, all works perfect :) and thanks for that.
just a question, today, CP webui states an orange bar, that there is an update to CP.
What should i do?

Shino

 

[Master Gollom]

Well since the build in updater of couchpotato doesn't work, you download the sources an overwrite them (in the couchpotato folder)

 

[xxJeevesxx]

Hello all! I just wanted to get some information on updating CP manually. I see you said to download and overwrite the files. I'm a little cautious for doing this because: 1) I'm not sure exactly what to download, and 2) I'm not sure exactly what to over write. Would you be so kind as to give a little more detail on what to download and what to overwrite? I would be eternally grateful!

Thanks in advance! :)

[Master Gollom]

Since I'm not in front of my NAS and i don't get to it for the next few days, here's a rough guide on how to update couchpotato:

Before you start overwriting files do a backup of couchpotato.

1) Download the files from https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer
2) sftp to your jail/nas

• sftp jail: the path should be /usr/pbi/couchpotato-amd64/CouchPotato/
• ftp nas: the path should be /mnt/<mount name for the jails>/<jailname>/usr/pbi/couchpotato-amd64/CouchPotato/

3) in this folder you're going to put the new files you've just downloaded. Remember to overwrite the old files.
4) restart the jail

this should be working

cheers ;)

 

[ShinobiX9X]

Hi there, i tried in a new jail to test, and it didn't work.
Now i see you write restart the jail, i just tried to switch on the plugin.
Do you mean to really start and stop the jail in the jails section?

 

[Super Paul]

@ShinobiX9X, yes I believe you have to restart the jail for various pyc files to get recompiled (if I'm using the right terminology). I followed his suggested directions, and have successfully updated Couchpotato.

If, like me you have changed the user that CouchPotato runs under, you will have to chown the "new" directory/files.

Looking some help with the couch potato plugin, has got me stumped
Transmission working fine
I’ve created a folder within transmission jail “BTDownloads” on my NAS I’ve a folder called Media
I’ve added storage withing the jail to mirror this so anything transmission downloads appears in the Media folder.
Onto couch potato,
Set this up to use transmission as the downloader
I created a folder within the couchpotato jail “couchdownloads”, and done the same as transmission, added storage to point this to my Media folder.
When I snatch a movie from couch potato, it finds no problem, sends to transmission no problems and downloads the movie.
Problem then here is that the media folder now contains the folder name of the movie I’ve downloaded but there are no files in it, the same with the folder I created in the jail of couch potato.
After much searching, I discovered that for some reason, couchpotato or transmission has created a folder within the jail of transmission “couchdownloads” and the whole movie is there?
Anyone able to let me know where I’m going wrong, or if it’s possible, that any movies I get from couchpotato will appear in my Media folder?
