daquint Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 So gots this issue. I have couchpotato * find all my completed movies in a folder (cache/appdata/movies) * rename the movies * move them to the cache directory (cache/movies) The problem is - when the mover runs, it deletes (or possibly moves) the entire 'movies' directory with the movie folders/files. The next time couchpotato tries to rename, and move it errors out with 'To and From directory' must exist. So my workaround right now is to create a new 'movies' directory so CP can find it. Less than ideal/automagic. Anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment
sureguy Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Just specify the final user share where the movies should end up in couch potato, enable the cache on that share. For the from directory specify a cache only share, something like movietemp Quote Link to comment
Traxxus Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The problem is - when the mover runs, it deletes (or possibly moves) the entire 'movies' directory with the movie folders/files. This isn't a problem, this is what the cache drive does, but you're using it...oddly. You shouldn't be using cache as a destination, you should be using your movies share, or wherever your movies actually are. It will use the cache drive automatically if it's enabled, with the faster write speed and all that good stuff. Quote Link to comment
daquint Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Ok I understand now thanks. It seems I had it working for years (the correct way) and recently messed with it because I switched from Sickbeard to NZBdrone and TV wasnt being moved properly. Im my troubleshooting of that issue, I must have screwed up the way the cache was set up. Many thanks Quote Link to comment
