If you are using µTorrent, perform the following steps to configure postprocessing for "TorrentToMedia":

1. Rename the autoProcessMedia.cfg.sample to autoProcessMedia.cfg and edit the parameters:

   i. [Torrent] uselink = 0 This option cannot be used with uTorrent as uTorrent locks files while seeding them.

   ii. [Torrent] extractiontool (Windows Only...you will need to install 7-zip)

    C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe' 
   

   iii. [Torrent] categories: all categories/labels/sub-directories used by your downloader.

    music,music_videos,pictures,software

    .mkv,.avi,.divx,.xvid,.mov,.wmv,.mp4,.mpg,.mpeg,.vob,.iso
   

   vi. [Torrent] metaExtentions: all other extensions you want to be processed. other extensions will be ignored.

    .nfo,.sub,.srt,.jpg,.gif
   

   vii. [Torrent] uTorrentWEBui, you shouldnt have to change this value, change uTorrentUSR and uTorrentPWD to desired username and password

   viii. [CouchPotato] & [SickBeard] category: you must set the category that is passed from these applications If using "blackhole-subdirectory", this is the last folder name used in the blackhole.

    e.g. tv or movies
   

   ix.[CouchPotato] & [SickBeard] outputDirectory: you must set the absoluet path to extract videos to. this destination, for CouchPotato, must match the CouchPotato Renamer's, "from" directory.

   x. [CouchPotato] & [SickBeard]: Configure the remaining settings as describes in nzbToCouchPotato and nzbToSickBeard above.

2. In µTorrent go to preferences > Advanced > Run Program > Run this program when torrent finishes:

   i. Set full path to script, pass paramaters as "utorrent" "%D" "%N" "%L".

    /usr/local/utorrent/nzbToMedia/TorrentToMedia.py "utorrent" "%D" "%N" "%L"
   

3. In uTorrent set the following directories.

   i. Preferences, directories, "Move Completed Downlaods to" = Enabled "Apprend Torrents Label" = Enabled Set the directory = The directory where downloaded files stay while seeding. This is NOT the "FROM" directory in CouchPotato renamer.

    /usr/local/Download/
   

   ii. Preferences, directories, "Automatically load .torrents from" = The balckhole directory used by CouchPotato and/or SickBeard

    	/usr/local/blackhole
