CouchPotatoServer (v2) on Raspberry Pi?

[Thomaz]

Hi
did anyone manage to get the CouchPotatoServer (v2) up and running on the pi?
In such case, how did you install it?

Did anyone get couchpotato v2 (couchpotatoserver) to run on Raspberry Pi?

I can get couchpotato v1 to run. But not v2.

I got it working. And also found this excellent guide. Works like a charm!

hi, there, not sure if I should ask this here on in a new thread, but here it goes.. I'm a RPI noob just got it yesterday so bare with me

Would it be possible to have CouchPotato + torrent download + XBMC in one RPI?

With what OS?

OpenLec is 'impossible' right? only with xbian or raspbmc?

Would it be slow? a way to trigger the 'suspend' of CP or Torrent download when playing video for example...

Just some ideas

Beter late than never! _this reply after 4 months_

CouchPotato v2 runs great on the Pi. I combine it with Transmission but run XBMC on a different Pi. I schedule the downloaders for the night so during the day, the XBMC Pi is not stressed by the downloaders. Both at the same time will not work

I run the downloaders on Raspbian and XBMC on Raspbmc. It's easy to fry your Pi with loads of Torrents connections, I switched to Usenet, but now SABNZB is unpacking/repairing movies all night. I run SABNZB, Transmission, SickBeard and CouchPotato on the same Pi. Storage and XBMC on an other.

Installation of CouchPotato v2 is easy (from: https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer):

Code: Select all

Install GIT with apt-get install git-core
'cd' to the folder of your choosing.
Run git clone https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer.git
Then do python CouchPotatoServer/CouchPotato.py to start
To run on boot copy the init script. sudo cp CouchPotatoServer/init/ubuntu /etc/init.d/couchpotato
Change the paths inside the init script. sudo nano /etc/init.d/couchpotato
Make it executable. sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/couchpotato
Add it to defaults. sudo update-rc.d couchpotato defaults
Open your browser and go to: http://localhost:5050/

The 'start at boot' is not working for me, I get some kind of Touch error on the PID file, it's the one and only thing that isn't absolutely great about CouchPotatoServer. Hope Ruud Burger will address the issue soon.
