CouchPotato is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a "movies I want"-list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the .nzb or .torrent to a specified directory.

Prerequisits:

  1. SABnzbd
  2. CouchPotato

CouchPotato can be accessed from http://cpotato:5000/ -or- yourHDAip:5000 (i.e. 192.168.1.10:5000)

How to configure with SABnzbd:

  1. General
  • Uncheck Launch Browser
  • Leave Host: 0.0.0.0 and Port: 5000
  1. NZBs / Torrents
  • Select “Sabnzbd” from Download to dropdown
  • Set Host to: localhost:25914
  • Get your Sabnzbd Apikey from http://sabnzbd/config/general/
  • Set Category to: Movies
  1. Providers
  • Set your provider account information
  1. Quality
  • Set your quality preferences
  1. Renaming
  • Set “Download Folder to: /var/spool/sabnzbd/incoming/Movies/ (By default, SABnzbd's completed downloads folder is "/var/spool/sabnzbd/incoming/")
  • Set your Movie destination anywhere you like (i.e. /var/hda/files/Movies)


Warnings:

  • Leave your host as 0.0.0.0, this allows you to access from any pc on your network
  • If you change the port from 5000 you will break the proxy http://cpotato. You can still access CouchPotato from yourHDAip:port-you-set (i.e. http://192.168.1.10:8082)
