CouchPotato

⚠️ CouchPotato is deprecated and no longer actively maintained. It has been superseded by Radarr, which offers the same functionality with active development, better integration and a modern interface. New installations should use Radarr.

CouchPotato is a PVR for movies. It monitors release lists, searches NZB and torrent sites automatically, and downloads the best available match using your configured download client.

Connecting to rTorrent

See the dedicated guide: Setting up CouchPotato directly to rTorrent

Making content available in Plex

Content downloaded via CouchPotato will not automatically appear in Plex. Move your files to ~/media/Movies/ and run Filebot manually if needed:

filebotify ~/path/to/content

NZB360 app

Use servername.bysh.me as the host and your-port/couchpotato as the port. Add your API key from Settings → General → Show Advanced.
