CouchPotato (CP) 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 torrent to a specified directory.
CouchPotatoServer can be run from source. This will use git as updater, so make sure that is installed also.
Windows, see the CP forum for more details:
- Install Python 2.7
- Then install PyWin32 2.7 and GIT
- If you come and ask on the forums 'why directory selection no work?', I will kill a kitten, also this is because you need PyWin32
- Open up
Git Bash(or CMD) and go to the folder you want to install CP. Something like Program Files. - Run
git clone https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer.git. - You can now start CP via
