[Release thread] Couchpotato plugin

[ShinobiX9X]

Hi I don't know why, but i reinstalled (for like the 6th time) and now it works fine (CP v2.0).
This time i let it on link (and not move or copy)
the donwside is i have to manually delete the downloaded movies this way.

Does anyone know more about those 3 options in CP: LINK, COPY and MOVE.

Thanks

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 ;)

Worked like a champ for me thank you.

First thing I did was stop the plugin, made a tarball of my existing couchpotato dir, scp'd the extracted couchpotato dir from GitHub over to the jail. Copied the files from my home dir over the plugin dir and started it back up. Thank you sir for the directions.

I redid new like this:
install CP from webui
not turn it on, add storage
SFTP the newer version to the location (OVERWRITE)
turn of jail, turn on jail
turn on plugin and it worked (sometimes i need to try to switch it on twice before it works)

other than that i wouldn't know what it could be

For some reason that seemed to do the trick. I installed the plugin. Then left it disabled as I copied the files.
Restarted the jail then the plugin. And everything was working again. Thanks Shinobi.

Followed the procedure once again today to update CP to the latest and greatest :).

Question: Can I use the same method to update plugins such as Sabnzbd and Sickbeard?

 

[Jason Hamilton]

Sickbeard "should" self update. Mine updated the other week. For sabnzbd there is an update script located inside of the folder. There is a thread on here about it that explains how to update it. Sorry I'm in class right now and can't lookup the thread.

My sickbeard says it doesn't know what version it is running? Also can you point me in the general direction of that thread? Was it the Sabnabd plugin thread?

Make sure your permissions are set properly for the Sickbeard folder inside the sickbeard-amd64 plugin.

exactrawr I sent you a PM with the instructions for sab. Since this is a CP thread I don't want it to get too off topic. Thanks.

[Jason Hamilton]

Do you have an upgrade now bar at the bottom of the screen?

I am able to check for updates on both couchpotato and sickbeard. The bar does appear on couhcpotato when I hit check for updates on the bottom, currently it says there is no update. I do not receive an error though, so I suspect it is working properly. When I first installed the plugin I did update it manually to the latest version at that time.

 

[Jason Hamilton]

I think your good. In mine I'm on the latest and greatest CP but the damn new version bar is always there. So I'm not sure what its issue is lol

I would try updating it manually just by overwriting the files with the latest from source. Then I would give the proper permissions to the program & data folders.

Make sure the plugin is shutdown when you overwrite and also I would reboot the jail after you overwrite and apply the permissions.

I recently upgraded to FreeNas 9.1.1 and used the built in PBI's for CP, SB and SAB. My question is this, i set up CP through the wizard and enter a movie and it downloads properly. As soon as i access CP again via the web interface it starts me back at the wizard again, for some reason it does not appear to be saving my settings.

I am sure its something simple but at this point I cannot seem to determine why it defaults back to a new install every time i run it?

This sounds like a permission issue. Make sure the data & Couchpotato directories have the correct permissions. These directories would be under (Jail name)/usr/pbi/couchpotato-amd64

 

[amen]

maybe you put as your favorite with wizard and it will start every time

Can anyone instruct me on how to give CP those correct permissions?

I just don't want to give the wrong folder the wrong permissions. I'm sure someone knows how. I just want more of a sanity check.

chown -R guest:guest /usr/pbi/couchpotato-amd64/*

if you're using version 1.1+ of the plugin permissions of the source directory aren't an issue and disregard this whole thread.

Anyone know what would cause the settings and notes panels to be totally blank when displayed? The options for settings are still there but you have to click on them "blind".
