Setting up Couchpotato is fairly straightforward.

Open up the Flex TV Web UI and go to the "Fetchers" section.

Click the "Enable" button to expand the input fields.

Fill in the IP and Port fields with the information used to access your couchpotato server. The default couchpotato port is 5050. If you're using ports 80 or 443, (default http/https ports) specify so.

Optionally, if you have a sub-path (http://your.server.here:5050/couchpotato), specify that in the path field.

Last, put in your API Key. This can be found in the Couchpotato UI under settings -> General. Click the "advanced" button in the top-right, and then copy your API key and paste it into Phlex.

Once the IP, Port, and Key/Token fields have been filled in, Phlex will attempt to retrieve stored quality profiles for your fetcher and populate them in the UI.

If you want to receive notifications on your cast device once a download is completed or started, you can set that up as well!

Go into Couchpotato -> Settings -> Notifications. Enable the "webhooks" button.

Go back to the Flex TV UI, and click the clipboard icon in the Fetchers section. This will copy the webhook URL to your clipboard. Go back over to couchpotato and paste the URL into the Webhook URL field. Click Test. You should hear a notification played to any statically defined cast devices you have.
