General MP4 Configuration

  1. Rename autoProcess.ini.sample to autoProcess.ini
  2. Set the MP4 variables to your desired output
    • ffmpeg = Full path to FFMPEG.exe
    • ffprobe = Full path to FFPROBE.exe
    • threads = Number of threads for FFMPEG to use, default "auto"
    • output_directory = you may specify an alternate output directory. Leave blank to use the same directory that the source file is in. All processing will be done in this location. (Do not use for 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder, iTunes will add prematurely, use move_to)
    • copy_to = you may specify additional directories for the final product to be replicated to. This will be the last step performed so the file copied will be fully processed. Directories may be separated with a | character
    • move_to = you may specify one final directory to move the completed file. (Use this option for the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder)
    • output_extension = mp4/m4v (must be one of these 2)
    • output_format = mp4/mov (must be one of these 2, mov provides better compatibility with iTunes/Apple, mp4 works better with other mobile devices)
    • delete_original = True/False
    • relocate_moov = True/False - relocates the MOOV atom to the beginning of the file for better streaming
    • ios-audio = creates a 2nd copy of an audio stream that will be iOS compatible (AAC Stereo) if the normal output will not be. If a stereo source stream is detected with this option enabled, an AAC stereo stream will be the only one produced (essentially overriding the codec option) to avoid multiple stereo audio stream copies in different codecs. Instead of 'true' you may also set this option to a specific codec to override the default.
    • ios-first-track-only = Applies the ios-audio option only to the first audio track encountered in the source video file. This prevents making dual audio streams for additional alternative language codecs or commentary tracks that may be present in the source file.
    • ios-audio-filter = Applies FFMPEG audio filter option to ONLY the iOS audio channels created by the script. iOS audio counterpart to the audio-filter option below.
    • max-audio-channels = Sets a maximum number of audio channels. This may provide an alternative to the iOS audio option, where instead users can simply select the desired output codec and the max number of audio channels without the creation of an additional audio track.
    • video-codec = set your desired video codecs. May specify multiple comma separated values (ex: h264, x264). The first value specified will be the default conversion choice when an undesired codec is encountered; any codecs specified here will be remuxed/copied rather than converted.
    • video-bitrate = allows you to set a maximum video bitrate in Kbps. If the source file exceeds the video-bitrate it will be transcoded to the specified video-bitrate, even if they source file is already in the correct video codec. If the source file is in the correct video codec and does not exceed the video-bitrate setting, then it will be copied without transcoding. Leave blank to disable this setting.
    • video-max-width = set a max video width to downsize higher resolution video files. Aspect ratio will be preserved.
    • h264-max-level = set your max h264 level. Use the decimal format. Levels lower than the specified value, if otherwise appropriate, will be copied without transcoding. Example - 4.0.
    • pix_fmt = set the video pix_fmt. If you don't know what this is just leave it blank.
    • audio-codec = set your desired audio codecs. May specify multiple comma separated values (ex: ac3, aac). The first value specified will be the default conversion choice when an undesired codec is encountered; any codecs specified here will be remuxed/copied rather than converted.
    • audio-channel-bitrate = set the bitrate for each audio channel. Default is 256. Setting this value to 0 will attempt to mirror the bitrate of the audio source, but this can be unreliable as bitrates vary between different codecs.
    • audio-language = 3 letter language code for audio streams you wish to copy. Leave blank to copy all. Separate multiple audio streams with commas (ex: eng,spa)
    • audio-default-language = If an audio stream with an unidentified/untagged language is detected, you can default that language tag to whatever this value is (ex: eng). This is useful for many single-audio releases which don't bother to tag the audio stream as anything
    • audio-filter = Applies FFMPEG audio filter. Make sure you specify all parameters are you would using the -af option with FFMPEG command line
    • aac_adtstoasc = Applies the aac_adtstoasc filter to AAC channels being copied. Useful if your source of mkv's uses raw ADTS AAC containers but can cause some playback issues with certain audio encoders
    • subtitle-codec = set your desired subtitle codec. If you're embedding subs, mov_text is the only option supported. If you're creating external subtitle files, srt or webvtt are accepted.
    • subtitle-language = same as audio-language but for subtitles. Set to nil to disable copying of subtitles.
    • subtitle-language-default = same as audio-language-default but for subtitles
    • convert-mp4 = forces the script to reprocess and convert mp4 files as though they were mkvs. Good if you have old mp4's that you want to match your current codec configuration. Caution: Set ios-audio to False when reprocessing files to avoid adding multiple iOS audio streams.
    • fullpathguess = True/False - When manually processing a file, enable to guess metadata using the full path versus just the file name. (Files shows placed in a 'Movies' folder will be recognized as movies, not as TV shows for example.)
    • tagfile = True/False - Enable or disable tagging file with appropriate metadata after encoding.
    • tag-language = en - Set your tag language for TMDB/TVDB entries metadata retrieval. Use either 2 or 3 character language codes.
    • download-artwork = Poster/Thumbnail/False - Enabled downloading and embeddeding of Season or Movie posters and embeddeding of that image into the mp4 as the cover image. For TV shows you may choose between the season artwork or the episode thumbnail by selecting the corresponding option.
    • embed-subs = True/False - Enabled by default. Embeds subtitles in the resulting MP4 file that are found embedded in the source file as well as external SRT/VTT files. Disabling embed-subs will cause the script to extract any subtitles that meet your language criteria into external SRT/VTT files. The script will also attempt to download SRT files if possible and this feature is enabled.
    • download-subs = True/False - When enabled the script will attempt to download subtitles of your specified languages automatically using subliminal and merge them into the final mp4 file. YOU MUST INSTALL SUBLIMINAL AND ITS DEPENDENCIES FOR THIS TO WORK. You must run pip install subliminal in order for this feature to be enabled.
    • sub-providers = Comma separated values for potential subtitle providers. Must specify at least 1 provider to enable download-subs. Providers include podnapisi thesubdb opensubtitles tvsubtitles addic7ed

Sick Beard Setup

The script will trigger a specific path re-scan, allowing the mp4 conversion to be completed before Radarr starts moving stuff around. This step is optional if you do not desire any processing between the downloading by whichever downloader you choose (NZB or Torrent), but is required if you wish to convert the file to an MP4 before it is handed back to Radarr.
  4. Setup the postRadarr.py script via Settings > Connect > Connections > + (Add)
    • name - postRadarr
    • On Grab - No
    • On Download - Yes

    • api_key - CouchPotato API Key
    • username - your CouchPotato username
    • password - your CouchPotato password
  2. Edit main.py in the setup\PostProcess folder
    • Set the path variable to the script location
    • By default it points to C:\\Scripts\\
    • Use double backslahses
  3. Copy the PostProcess directory from the setup folder included with this script to the CouchPotato custom_plugins directory
    • Navigate to the About page in CouchPotato, where the installation directory is displayed.
    • Go to this folder and copy the PostProcess folder (the whole folder, not just the contents) to the CouchPotato custom_plugins directory
    • Delete any .pyc files you find.
    • Restart CouchPotato
    • Verify in CouchPotato logs that PostProcess was loaded.
  4. If you're using one of the post download scripts ([SAB|NZBGet|uTorrent|deluge]PostProcess.py), disable automatic checking of the renamer folder, the script will automatically notify CouchPotato when it is complete to check for new videos to be renamed and relocated. Leaving this on may cause conflicts and CouchPotato may try to relocate/rename the file before processing is completed.
    • Set Run Every to 0
    • Set Force Every to 0
    • If you aren't using one of these scripts and are using an unsupported downloader, you will need to have CouchPotato periodically check the folder for files, otherwise the post downloader scripts will manually trigger a renamer scan. Using manual triggers is helpful because it prevents a coincidental renamer scan during other processing events.

  • MH_FILES - JSON Array of all files created by the post processing script. The first file in the array is the primary file, and any additional files are copies created by the copy-to option
  • MH_TVDBID - TVDB ID if file processed was a TV show and this information is available
  • MH_SEASON - Season number if file processed was a TV show
  • MH_EPISODE - Episode number if files processed was a TV show
  • MH_IMDBID - IMDB ID if file processed was a movie A sample script as well as an OS X 'Add to iTunes' script (iTunes.py) have been provided. Special thanks to jzucker2 for providing much of the initial code for this feature

Manual Script Usage

To run the script manually, simply run the manual.py file and follow the prompts it presents. If you wish to run it via the command line (good for batch operations) follow this format:

Help output
manual.py -h
usage: manual.py [-h] [-i INPUT] [-a] [-tv TVDBID] [-s SEASON] [-e EPISODE]

Automated Directory (The script will attempt to figure out appropriate tagging based on file name)
manual.py -i directory_path -a
Example: manual.py -i C:\Movies -a

Process a directory but manually specific TVDB ID (Good for shows that don't correctly match using the guess)
manual.py -i directory -a -tv tvdbid
Example: manual.py -i C:\TV\Futurama\ -a -tv 73871

You may also simply run manual.py -i 'C:\The Matrix.mkv and the script will prompt you for the missing information or attempt to guess based on the file name. You may run the script with a --auto or -a switch, which will let the script guess the tagging information based on the file name, avoiding any need for user input. This is the most ideal option for large batch file operations. The script may also be pointed to a directory, where it will process all files in the directory. If you run the script without the -silent switch, you will be prompted for each file with options on how to tag, to convert without tagging, or skip.

External Cover Art

To use your own cover art instead of what the script pulls from TMDB or TVDB, simply place an image file named cover.jpg or cover.png in the same directory as the input video before processing and it will be used.

Import External Subtitles

To import external subtitles, place the .srt file in the same directory as the file to be processed. The srt must have the same name as the input video file, as well as the 3 character language code for which the subtitle is. Subtitle importing obeys the langauge rules set in autoProcess.ini, so languages that aren't whitelisted will be ignored.

Naming example:

input mkv - The.Matrix.1999.mkv
subtitle srt - The.Matrix.1999.eng.srt

Common Errors

  • ImportError: No module named pkg_resources - you need to install setuptools for python. See here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#installation-instructions
  • Problems moving from downloader back to manager - you most likely haven't set up your categories correctly. The category options designated by SB/SR/CP/Sonarr need to match the ones set in your downloader either in the plugin options or in autoProcess.ini, and these categories ALL need to execute either SABPostProcess.py for SAB or NZBGetPostProcess.py for NZBGet. Make sure they match.
