In this tutorial how to configure Qnap Couchpotato with NZBGet. We’re going to configure CouchPotato in combination with NZBGet. To automatically download the movies you want from the newsgroups.
Configure Qnap NZBGet for CoucPotato
Open NZBGet in your browser.
By default this is “http://ip-address-qnap:5050”
Go to Settings.
Now go to Category.
By default, there is all a Category Movies. We’re going to use this one. At Destdir you enter the location where your films are stored. Make sure that your movies and TV series are in separate folders. If that is not yet the case.
Configure CouchPotato
If you’ve opened CouchPotato, through your browser. Then the first time a wizard will open. “http://ip-adress-qnap:5050/wizard”
We’ll skip this wizard. The wizard is too limited.
Scroll all the way down.
Click I’m ready to start the awesomeness!
Then on the next page. On the bottom left select gear.
And choose Settings.
Top right. You see a slide bar Show advanced. Slide it aside so that the bar turns red.
General CouchPotato
Username
Password
Port This is standard at 5050.
Enter a user’s name and password here. To secure your CouchPotato.
Even though, CouchPotato can only be approached locally. Anyone who uses your Wi-Fi can do something different.
Searcher CouchPotato
Now, on the Searchertab.
You can see the option here Search for movies even before there is an ETA. Enabling this will probably get you a lot of fakes. If you turn this on. You get more fake downloads. But there are many more films found. That are good. Nowadays, movies come out earlier. So as through streaming services.
Put these on Usenet.
And enter the retention of your Usenet provider.
This information can often be found on the site of your Usenet provider.
Scroll down. Turn on Newznabhere.
Under Newznab, you have to give up a Newznab provider. For a list of see NewzNab Providers.
With the extra Score. You can indicate which CoucPotato should use first.
But watch out! If you also use other programs such as SickRage. Then you do need enough API requests. If only you have a very limited number. Then use different newznab providers.
Do not use Binsearch and NZBClub. Because then you get a lot of trash downloads. And they often don’t get along with strange names.
Downloaders CouchPotato
Go to the tablad downloaders.
Turn on the check mark NZBget.
Please enter the details of your NZBGet. And then on Test NZBGet.
Don’t change the category!
Category CouchPotato
Go to the Category tab.
Now you have to give up the following as you wish. This is what I gave up. So I don’t want 3D movies and HD-TS. But if it can be called a DTS audio track.
Preferred x264,DTS,
Required is empty with me.
Ignored TC720P,HD-TS,SBS,german, french, truefrench, danish, swedish, spanish, italian, korean, dubbed, swesub, korsub, dksubs, vain
Qualities CouchPotato
Now go to the tablad Qualities.
You should also set this up to your own taste.
This is wax I did. The first is the most important thing.
1080p Tick Finish.
72p Tick Finish.
If you turn it on the finish mark.
Then CouchPotato stops looking for better quality.
Notifications
Now we go to the tablad Notifications. Here you can give a signal to your media player. To update. So your movie libary is updated with your newly downloaded movies.
I use Kodi. So I give up the following.
So host ip-address-of-your-media player:8084 This is not localhost. Since your Kodi is not active on your Qnap.
Username from Kodi.
Password by Kodi.
Turn on Only First.
you are now done with thistutorial to configure Qnap CocuhPotato.
You can now start adding movies. You can do this via the IMDB app. Or via the CoucPotato itself.
