Problem description:
I'im trying to use couchpotato but I get "500: Internal Server Error". I have uninstalled and installed couchpotato from xbian .xbian-config-start. I if have a look at

Code:

cat /etc/couchpotato/logs/CouchPotato.log

I always see something like this:

Terminal

02-08 02:06:06 ERROR Uncaught exception GET / (192.168.1.134)

_tt_tmp = json_encode(Env.get('args', unicode = True)) # index.html:83
TypeError: get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'unicode'

After looking on internet I have tried this

Code:

sudo find /usr/local/share/couchpotato/ -name "*.pyc" -exec rm -rf {} \;

but I have still the same problem.

How to reproduce:
sudo /etc/init.d/couchpotato restart
Connect to the URL.

Thanks.

xbian-package-couchpotato is a 3 year old package. Probably this is the problem

I build new package which is available soon at our repository and mirrors.

Please note, couchpotato requires a python-openssl version 15 or higher, which is not available in debian jessie repository.

To get a recent package before installing xbian-package-couchpotato, you have to enable jessie-backport repo as follows:

1) add jessie-backport to /etc/apt/sources.list

Terminal

cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free

2) modify pin settings by adding file jessie-backports into folder /etc/apt/preferences.d

Terminal

cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/jessie-backports
Package: *
Pin: release a=jessie-backports
Pin-Priority: 800

3) run sudo apt-get update

Terminal

sudo apt-get update
...
...
