Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does the CouchPotato Safari extension work for anyone? I can't get it to install. It asks if I trust it and when I click yes nothing happens. Restarted Safari, rebooted, tried manually placing the extension in the extension folder, and I'm successfully able to install and uninstall other extensions. And when I try to use their Javascript menu bar applet instead, the little popup displays wrong and the dropdown fields and save button are displayed offscreen so I can't actually click on anything.

Turns out this is a bug in El Cap Safari where the "Trust" button in the dialog box is broken. If you follow this link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7254177?tstart=0 You'll get instructions on how to activate the Trust button using accessibility settings with the keyboard and then it'll install fine. The other extensions I use are from the Apple extension galleries and those installed fine for some reason. Hope this helps someone else!

Almost nothing automatically downloads via CouchPotato. I check the indexers everyday and see things available but CouchPotato never downloads them. I'll see things listed at the top of the CouchPotato main page, but it usually says something like "Releases found before ETA" in the log and I have to click on them to download manually. Turning on "Always search" to get results before ETA seems like it would be a world of hurt in getting a bunch of crap. But do people generally turn that on to make things work better?

Thermopyle posted:It sounds like they would automatically download if you wait until after the official release of the movie? If that's the case you've got to decide if you want automatic downloads ASAP with the risk you're downloading cam releases, or to wait until after the official release. The problem is it seems like a lot of stuff has missing articles after 6-12 hours, so if I have it wait days (or however long the ETA is) then the downloads will crap out. I'm guessing it's a two-fold solution: be less paranoid about things being unavailable on release date and supplement my main GigaNews account with something else.

Is there a way to have Plex or Couchpotato clean up movies already in my movies folder? About 1/5 of my movies are in folders and the rest are just the files sitting there in the main folder. I want each movie and it's various files to have it's own folder consolidated in the movies folder. From: /Movie A (1943)/Movie A (1943).mkv /Movie B (1945).mkv /Movie C (1939).mkv to: /Movie A (1943)/Movie A (1943).mkv /Movie B (1945)/Movie B (1945).mkv /Movie C (1939)/Movie C (1939).mkv Or would this be something I have to figure out on my own? I could probably come up with some sort of terminal script I guess.

Dang, you guys posted a bunch of really smart tips and tools. I really appreciate it. I ended up writing a small bash script to do it but I wish I would have checked back here first because using one of these methods would have been quicker and less scary than modifying my entire library via the terminal.

sedative posted:After episode 2 they ran a different special because the response to the 70% off deal was overwhelming. They did end up offering the 70% off deal for one more day, but it looks like they're not doing it again. I signed up for their current $24 for 6-Months of Unlimited sale and I'm super duper impressed. I'm used to $20 a month for Giganews, so the equivalent of $4 per month is really nice and I've already completed several items that had either previously failed for me on Giganews or are so old that I would have considered them impossible. It's a little slower (8 MBs vs 11 MBs) but that obviously doesn't matter when things are actually working.

Thermopyle posted:It's not a business account. Thanks for the info, I'm paying $65 a month. Crazy that for only $25 more you can triple the speed. Is that an intro rate? I always see people complaining but their internet provider, but man I've been pretty happy with Charter for like a decade. My bill has gone up a little bit over the years, but they doubled everyone's speed at no additional charge in like 2014 and service is pretty rock solid.

I had to get some niche stuff that I could only find on some file sharing sites like rapidgator. I did a little looking to automate things and there's a huge community around this stuff it seems like. I found a download manager called jdownloader and there's all sorts of functionality and integrations to get around captcha, recaptcha, deconstructing links, etc. I also found out there are services you can join to automate filling out captchas for like $.0008 per captcha so you can queue up a whole bunch of downloads and then it's all handled automatically. I had no idea. It seems like a poo poo ton of work so you don't have to spend $15 a month for the premium download tier of file sharing sites. Anyone else ever look into this stuff?

They'll make you RGB RAM blink while downloading. I had them for years before I switched to someone cheaper. Expensive and pretty poor working retention. But great website.

Is there an automated way to search and be notified for specific search queries? Like CouchPotato is for movies or Sonarr is for TV, I want to be able to automate my searches for random crap that doesn't fit into popular categories and that may not even exist. For example: "art bell bob lazar mp3" "pc.gamer november 1998" It might be old radio shows, it might be old magazines, etc. Just random niche content. I would love to be able to define these search terms, have it search once a day or once a week or something, and then receive a notification via email if it finds something new that fits certain criteria (ie, larger than 1mb, etc.). Then I could go look at it to see if it's worth downloading or if it's crap. I have a small list of stuff like this that I check every once in a blue moon and it would be nice if it could be automated. It's stuff that might not even exist or would pop up completely randomly if it does so I don't keep an eye on it very much.

I think the idea is that different providers have different odds of actually having the files so more than one provider increases your chances of things working. The block plans are just more affordable since you’re only using them as a backup to your main provider so you burn through them less.

EL BROMANCE posted:How long ago was your original try with radarr? It’s been years since I moved over, I can’t even remember a time when it wasn’t an improvement over couch. I like how it and Sonarr match their backend and UIs over major version changes. Never actually tried it because when I looked it at originally it was so long ago that it wasn't deemed ready for production. Wish I would have switched a long time ago. Over the past few days I've made a lot of changes that have been hugely beneficial. Between adding a cheap backup block account, switching to radarr, and inputting a second indexer I had 27 movies come in this morning that had been sitting in my couch queue for what feels like years. I might try the sonarr 3 beta I'm so happy with the radarr v3 UI.

(aside from the Elon Musk association)? I'll usually use that when it's an option over entering CC info directly. At a minimum I should probably set up an account with that site that lets you create virtual CCs so you can set lifetimes and spending limits for each individual site you use...

wolrah posted:If you know where the NZB came from, look at its file listing on the indexer and see if it has PAR files included. If it doesn't, it's just a bad NZB and you should go look for a different one (possibly for the same post of the same files even) which does list them. Something I’ve always wondered is how personal are the NZB files? Do they contain any details about the indexer, indexer user account, etc? I’ve always assumed they are basically nameless and generic?
