Trying to get Couch potato to work

[greekislandlover]

I have Sonarr and SAB working properly for TV, so want to add couch potato but have 2 problems.

Firstly SSL. With Sonarr, I tell it to use port 9090 and SSL on SAB and that works. However I can't get Couch potato working in the same way - it works on port 8080 but fails connection test on 9090. How do I get SSL working on Couch potato / SAB please?

Secondly, I have set up a movies category in SAB, created a folder, given it the right permissions but the links Couch potato add (using 8080) just sit there and don't download. TV is working fine and will download. Any ideas on this please?

Thanks

First of all, if you have everything working on the same system,
using HTTPS adds no security at all.
Worse, due to all programs having self-signed certificates, they may even fail to connect.
So I'd say: use HTTP instead.

Do you see NZB files or are those still URLs that SABnzbd needs to get from an indexer?

Thanks for the reply. I guess as the downloader is working on SSL, the communication between Couch potato and SAB doesn't have to be SSL??

Jobs added by Couch potato I think are NZB's. In the log file of Couch potato I see the following line:-

[.core.downloaders.sabnzbd] NZB sent to SAB successfully.

Communication with Usenet servers is over internet, so SSL is recommended.
The communication between SABnzbd and other software is fully local and
completely independent from Usenet communication.

If you open a hung item in SABnzbd queue, does it show a list of files (click on the title)?
Which priority does the item have?

Yes, the hung queue movies have lists of files when you click the folder icon in the link, and the caret right hand side says the priority is normal. I've made sure that the permissions on the folder I want to save it on are such that it can be written to, and I've done a chown -R for the user on that folder so hopefully permissions are covered (Ubuntu 14 server).

I want the movies to save to couchpotato folder and the TV saves to SABnzbd folder. I've tried setting the movies category to save to both as a test, but it won't process the movies for either folder. Not sure it's relevant info but trying to say what I've tried as it might be relevant.

Thanks

PS, just tried changing from movies to tv category and it then downloads. So I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the movies category?

The TV saves to /media/mainhdd/SABnzbd and the couch potato folder is /media/mainhdd/Couchpotato I note the screen says that Relative folders are based on: /media/mainhdd/SABnzbd. It's still downloading so not sure where it's going to end up.
