If I'm on CouchPotato (on a mac, if it matters) and want to step up to CouchPotatoServer, is it easy to do so? Do I need to start from scratch? Any advice, warnings or "gotchas" with going to CPS?

Not really - it'll let you import your CouchPotato database file and everything seems to be running fine for me. I remember when I tried it out pre-Mountain Lion and not long after it had been released in beta it required Python 2.7 but that's easy enough to install if it is a problem.

Never set it up on a Mac, but it was pretty painless if you know your way around git (or even if you don't if you can follow directions fairly well). It runs on a different port than CP does, so you can run both at the same time. It has a wizard that'll import your Wanted list over for you.

Sorry, guy.
I'm having trouble with CouchPotatoServer (shocker! ;) )

I open Terminal, go to the right directory and then run Couchpotato.py. It launches Couchpotato but it literally looks like the exact same CouchPotato (not V2) that I had before (just without a Wanted list filled out.)
(also it's still on the same 5000 port, so I doubt it's the same.

Anyone have any experience installing CPS on a Mac?

Try shutting down V1, and make sure you actually are in the CPS directory. I'm using mountain lion and I seem to have no problem with CPS atm.

Edit: cloned the git repo to the desktop and ran another instance. Here's the terminal windows with all the commands.

First off, I figured out why it wasn't super easy to just double-click on the CouchPotato.app. ML had that "only safe apps can be opened" and even when I control-clicked it I got an error.

I turned that off in System Preferences > Security and it booted right up.

But it definitely launches the old one. I thought I downloaded the right file. Is it : Ruudburger-Couchpotato 806bed6. Maybe thats the problem??

Everyone always says to do "git" stuff but I don't really know how. It didn't work when I tried. Any ideas?

Ok I installed GIT. It says I need to "restart bash sessions". Any ideas how I do that? Once I do I'm hoping I can "git"

#! /bin/sh
python path/to/CPS/CPS.py -d

paste those two lines in a file then issue the 'chmod+x /path/to/file' command so you make it an executable. Now you have a file that will launch CouchPotato. Next step is to stick it into the login items Menu under System Preferences Users tab.
Another option is to create a launchd daemon (launchd is apple's replacement for init.d, cron etc).

Sabnzbd wiki has a nice example for running at startup, you can copy it and modify it for CPS.

I understand what you said here (I think) and put it into play. The issue I am getting is when I chmod+x the file it's telling me chmod+x command not found.

Do I need to add something or do something in a prior step?

I usually use Vim (an you can write 'vimtutor' in terminal to learn the basics) but all you should do is save the file as .sh instead if the default when using TextEdit. Then apply the chmod +x command after. If it works, you won't get any confirmation.

The xs are there. If you put #!/bin/bash at the top of the file, rename it to a .sh file extension. Then you should be able to run ./file.sh or whatever you're trying to do.

It's an RTF file, just changing the extension won't work. He needs to go to Format -> Make Plain Text and then resave the document providing the .sh extension.

I didn't catch that, my bad. There were lots of other things going on. Hard to catch them all. My advice otherwise was still valid. (I write nothing in rtf so it never even crossed my mind, tbh)

Feenix, whenever you write script files in the future, always use plain text. RTF adds extra formatting characters to the file that will screw with you.

How does custom quality work in Sickbeard, mainly the initial and final qualities?

I'd like to download 720p HDTV, but then get Web DL or Bluray when they become available (and either of those is an acceptable), but it looks like if I set HDTV as initial and WEb DL and 720p Bluray as Archive, it's not satisfied until it finds Bluray.

Is there anything I can do about that, or do I just have to live with it?

As soon as it downloads a quality you're happy with, mark it as archived?

I only use either the default SD or HD setting and never have any problems that way. My rule is, if it's a show that airs multiple times a week, I'll get the SD version and if it's a weekly show, I'll get the HD version. Sickbeard is usually pretty good about doing that and I stopped using the custom qualities settings.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem and the only google hit for the error is your post here and your post on the sickbeard forums (which I also replied to)

Edit: D'Oh.. somehow some ports got moved around, I don't remember doing that. Something else was listening on 8080 causing the 'file not found' error. All good now!

"Unable to look up the show in [redacted] on TVDB, not using the NFO. Delete .nfo and add manually in the correct language."

This show has yet to air but I've added many yet-to-air shows without a problem yet. This particular show has a full episode listing on TVDB so I'm not sure what the problem is. Should I wait until it airs and cross my fingers and hope that Sickbeard will be able to deal with it then or is there something else I should be doing?
