I was wondering if you have updated this plugin to use the current version of azhtmlui 7.0. Because when I first downloaded this script I had to try to find an old version of azhtmlui so it would work. Unfortunately the only previous version I could get my hands on was version 6.0 and I've had several problems with it becuase I think you designed the script off of version 6.5 or so. Thanks for making the script really appreciate it.

Yep I have applied the fix to the new version. I will add in checking for the version numbers so that I can report possible problems to the user. Its was only a slight change in the html code but rest assured the new fix will be in for the next release later this week/weekend..

Just need to do more checking to make sure nothing else has changed..

Thanks anyway..

Previosuly called "Azureus controller" this has now evolved into a "Torrent-controller" which interacts with Azureus and ABC and also allows SAVE to DISK.

Available for download on my site listed below but should also be available on xbmcscripts.com soon...

A full list of features can be found here:

Cool. I hope uTorrent adds network control soon. It is by far my favorite client and it would be great to use your script to control it!

Future releases..
The Next version will have a test version of the Utorrent web gui.

Available on my site or xbmcscripts.com

I can't get this to work with the PM3 skin, although it works fine with MC360. When launching with PM3, it says there is a problem with the PMGUI.xml file.

Hi,

I haven't really looked at this script for sometime as I've been working on the EmuLauncher (Xbmc-Arcade) project.

I will be re-writing this script and my other controller scripts shortly when I have finished my work on the EmuLauncher..

Thanks for trying it out anyway..

Tomkun

Thanks for trying it out anyway..

You're welcome. Thanks for writing it! It works perfectly in the 360 skin, I just happen to prefer the PM3, that's all.

I would love to see this plugin to support SMB shares also. I have a linux server running rtorrent that watches for torrent files in a certain path. But the problem is that the path is only reachable through samba and I dont want to have an FTP running (unsecure, admin hassle, everything else is shared through smb, etc).

How much job would it be to add samba to the settings, ie so it will download the torrent files into a samba path instead of a local? I hope that there are samba libs for python!? (I think I will give it a try tonight)

I hope it works out for you...it'd be nice to be able to check my downloads status w/o having to get up off my couch..right now I can download torrents from my couch using the torrentbrowser script and uTorrent picks them right up out of the SMB share I FTP them to...and uTorrent w/RSS feeds "broad-catches" all the regular content I receive...this would be the last piece of the puzzle, so to speak.. looking forward to the new script.

uTorrent integration is well on its way. Didnt really need the python api they supply as the webui returns the data in a dictionary format..Just trying to tie it alltogether.

All the other sections have been re-written and will support both Azureus and uTorrent. They will also support username/passwords which was missing on the Azureus version originally. Four major torrent sites will be supported aswell. A new feature is that this will be modular so that additional controllers and sites can be added without the need to mess around with the core code. Hopefully after the initial release I will create an auto-updater so that if a site changes I can get the app to update from a central server..

Heres hoping, but Azureus and the sites are functional at the moment with uTorrent not far away from completion.

It will also be skinned for PM3,xTV,MC360 and Clearity.

Can you also add more support for remotes most of those buttons like page down and previus menu are designed for controller only.
Like the next page could be the skip+ button and the previous menu could be the back button.

Thats a good idea and never actually thought of that. I do use a remote for one of my xbox's primarily as it just used for watching movies.

Thanks, I will add it to my TODO list..

2007-03-20, 22:58

My main problem is all the list controls have black text very hard to read.

A quick addition to the DF skin.xml for PM3 sorts it out... <textcolor> was missing in list control.

For those of you that want to find all the bugs. Follow the link for the BETA version of 1.01 with the following updates.

- Remote friendly. Skip+ and Skip- will do page navigation if available. This just mimics the Y and B buttons. When viewing your controller it will perform moveup/movedown if using Azureus.

- Remote friendly. Title button will perform any action available on the X button.

- Search functions added onto all Sites. To call up the search function just press the Black button(controller) or Info(remote). type in your search and wait. Search results have page navigation if multiple pages exist. The X(controller) or Title(remote) will return you to the page you were viewing prior to starting the search.

- Cookie support has been added. This only really helps one of the sites as it stores your sort/pagesize information.

SVN my friend... pretty much daily basis. Once i added the <textcolor> tag to the DFXML it worked great. IIRC i seems its the only one that has no textcolor in listcontrol. You seem to have set them for the rest.

OH! And latest beta seems to have the same color problem and also now seems to have problems quitting script using menu on remote i think.

chunk_1970

2007-03-22, 12:57

Yeah I had not even looked at the colour issue..on PM3.

I found the mistake in using the remote when I when to bed last night and couldn't exit the app. Dooh!

I will fix those issues today..

chunk_1970

2007-03-22, 13:45

Fixed:

- PMIII textcolor has been fixed.
- Skip+ / SKip- have been set corrently for page Next/Prev.
- Remote Menu button now perform the exit script.
- MC360 textcolor for button labels has been set to black as the white was not very readable..

Hopefully all problems are now fixed..

Kudos on the fixes my friend! And a fantastic script for thy ole couch potatoe!

I've been messing with the WebGUI of uTorrent and noticed you can set priority on files etc low,medium,high would be a great addition to the script if we could grab the sample from videos and pausing the rest or setting prioritys.

PS. Great work!

chunk_1970

2007-03-22, 20:58

Yeah im not really touching the full potential of what can be controlled at the moment with azureus or utorrent. utorrent is so much easier to control as it returns python dictionary objects which just makes life almost effortless.

i noticed that when using the new Torrent-X (THANKS BTW, LOVE IT)..i can browse torrent sites and "apparently" ADD torrents to my Queue, but I noticed that this feature is somewhat "hit-or-miss"..as in sometimes I have to click on it MULTIPLE times before it adds it to my dl queue..is this normal? Hell, is it normal to be able to ADD torrents via this tool..?? hehe Thanks, keep up the AWESOME work.

chunk_1970

2007-03-23, 02:27

I noticed that both uTorrent and Azureus do not report back the status all they report is the fact that the command was sent successfully. The software is then responsible for queueing it up although sometimes I have noticed a considerable delay of approx a couple of minutes,utorrent does seem slower than azureus at retrieving the actual file. I could understand it being a pain if you have to go back to the controller screen to check its been added or not.

I will certainly look into this though probably by doing a check in the background for the file waiting for approx 2 minutes otherwise doing a resend. Or maybe having a feature to queue all selections in a temp file and then actioning them all at once via the controller screen. Maybe a selection menu similar to playlists to add/remove entries from the queue.

2007-03-23, 10:17

Another request: When I added torrents on my FTP the list of files within are shown and I can deselect any content I do not care about like; stuff I might already, samples, commerical files etc.
Would it be possible to do something similar in your script?

Tnx

chunk_1970

2007-03-23, 13:23

Of course. This was just the initial release which was a total re-write of my torrent-controller script. It needed a good re-write as my last effort although worked was a total mess, codewise.

Set your default controller uTorrent/Azuereus, then configure that controller with the web gui settings (IP address, port, user/pass) these can be found from within your chosen torrent client preferences/settings screens. Read more here (http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-torrrent-controller/wiki/TorrentX).

Btw, is it possible to set the download location for files when you add a torrent? My files are being saved to the root of the drive :(

I don't have any experience with python scripting, but I would like to add my own sites to this script, a few of which are private and would require cookies. If anyone could give me and others wanting to do this a generic rundown of how to edit the .py files to add our own sites, that would be excellent. Thanks!

chunk_1970

2007-03-26, 23:10

If people PM me with sites/controllers that they would like added I will look into it. The current Beta does support cookies so thats not a problem as my sabcontroller uses logins alot for sites.

You do need to know python and how to scrape web sites to create one for yourself. A new release coming soon also has an Auto/Manual update feature for controller/site modules so I can easily post updates without having to muck about posting new releases onto websites..

uTorrent Controller Module update to Version 1.04:

Added
- When displaying your downloads/uploads the X will have the option to display the files for the torrent.

- Torrent Icon for files are as follows:
= Red - Do Not Download
= Yellow - Priority Low
= Green - Priority Normal
= Blue - Priority High

- When viewing files you will now have some extra options.
= Y - Set All files to Do not Download
= B - Set All files to Normal Download
= A will display a menu to set a specific option for the item selected.
= X - Return to Display of downloads/Uploads..

I tested this and it seems to work without any problems...

Now to code the same thing for Azureus....Hmmm!

2007-03-31, 22:38

Thanks..Hopefully in time I should be able to get all the functionality of the software into the modules...

May take some time..But I think its going in the right direction.

What would be good is if people could prioritise what features would be of most benefit to be added so I can do them in that order..

Things Like..

- setting upload/download speeds..
- displaying detail info from sites/controller.
- etc..

Just saw your post regards Azureus causing issues... if you use utorrent and click downloads then click it again to act as a refresh doing this a few times in a short space can also crash the script.

And the update feature... :)

Could you change it so that if not update is available the user does not need to interact by clicking ok its a tad annoying.

Other than that :) kudos yet again!

chunk_1970

2007-04-03, 00:00

Hi C-Quel can you post the log of the problem if possible It may just need an xbmcgui.lock() and unlock setup in a few places or perhaps a variable being toggled to ignore keypresses while its busy doing other stuff....

Update feature...Thats not a problem...

I wanted to leave the main update for a bit as there are probably some other features that I would like to add in...
Like - Ability to display text to inform users what has changed in the updated modules.

Things to Come:
-----------------
Azureus - is getting on my nerves. This problem with setting all files to certain states is causing failures so I'll release a new version when/if I get it working. Although I do have the following working already. 'Delete Torrent/Delete Torrent + data options added and also the ability to change all configuration options downspeed/upspeed/max active/ etc. But this release depends on me solving the Multiple file change problem.

uTorrent:
========
Next release should have all of the additional global configuration options like downspeed/upspeed etc..

Ejj..
great script, but it's not working here.
I got the latest version from xbmcscripts (1.05) and it says there is a failure with an update.
If I go on the sites and settings work fine, but when I go the downloads to view my azureus actions, it says there is an error and have to look in the error log.
The webui of my azureus is working fine, I get it on another computer just fine. Is there something more needed next to the webui plugin?
In the readme it says you need the XMLTOHTTP plugin, is that something different than the webui plugin?

chunk_1970

2007-04-11, 13:57

Yes you need the xmltohttp plugin. I dont use the webui anymore as if your using a different theme it doesnt work so xmloverhttp works despite any other webui you have installed.

The update failure is not important as it will try again on the next run of the script..

2007-04-11, 14:25

Yeah, already tried it with the 1.10 beta version also.
But as you say, it's probably the fact that I dont have the xmltohttp plugin installed.

Where can I get it, because I googled for it and found the webui, thinking that that was the one you specified. Perhaps an idea to add the link in the readme.

When I get it working I'll look if I can create some new site modules to add to the collection ( I use some other closed torrent sites myself ). If I get it working I'll send it to you.

azureus.sourceforge.net and select plugins on the left had side..

Alternately in azureus select -Plugins->installation wizard->select files by list from sourceforge-> then look for xmloverhttp/xmltohttp cant remember its correct name and install it. Once installed configure it to your needs...

If I look in the script output it has errors on:
core.py - line 57 - data = html.read() -> unboundlocal error

well, I installed the xmlhttp plugin, but still get the same errors.
If you go to the URL (and port) of the azureus xml, should you get some output? Because I don't get any output.
I'll check if that is working ok.

Hi, No you wont get any data reported back to you unless you post and correctly formatted XML file.

Also,
When you change certain parameters in the xmltohttp plugin you will have to re-start azureus for them to be accepted. Also make sure the IP address for the xbox is listed in the list of IP's that xmltohttp is allowing to connect..

Yeah, restart did wonders. :p
Now I see him connecting. I editted some code for testing before I knew the restart and in the next version you should also catch a 404 exception when reading the html (core.py line 50).
Because that way I knew that I needed to restart.

Thanks for the help untill now. I am playing with the script connecting my mediaserver with azureus.
It still doesn't connect when I am testing it on my pc with the windows debug xbmc. But at least I have output now in the log of azureus. Need to test it on the xbox next. Hopefully it will work, keep you posted.

Chunk_1970,
I know it's in the testing faze but when you feel that you can would you be willing to add support for the nova template for sabnzbd. When I first tried to use the sabnzbd plugin it wouldn't work just gave me errors then I realized I had to change the template back to the original. BTW I also realized I couldn't get it to actually pass the nzb onto sabnzbd and I was also wondering where I enter my newzbin login because I cant normally download nzb's without it.

chunk_1970

2007-04-13, 15:46

The passing of nzbs to download hasn't been coded in yet. As I mentioned I dont have access to actually get to the newzbin download screen. What I will do is just get it to pass the POSTID onto sab so as long as it configured there it will work. Thats the way my old version did it anyways..

As far as adding other templates Im not really sure about that as sometimes they are so different it requires multiple checks and actions for each different template..

If you need I can supply you with a pay login.

Thanks for the offer..What I would ideally like to do is download all nzbs to the xbox so I would need good access. Im not in a position to do it at the moment but hopefully on Tuesday Ill be in a position to get things sorted. The reason I want to download them Is that when optips code goes into XBMC I can have it pass the file directly to his for direct streaming...It also allows the ability to add a smb module to people can pass the files to other newsgroup readers that wait for files in a directory (Dont know what ones do that though?)

I love this script, but I can't use 'The Pirate Bay'. As I live in Japan, I am assuming that the script is using the Japanese language version of the site, unfortunately all I am getting on the screen is nonsense characters. Is it possible to either force it to use the English language version of the site, or fix the Japanese characters?

I gather it's not possible to have something like uTorrent actually running on the Xbox then? That way you could download stuff direct to the Xbox instead of having to have the PC on all the time.

I'm new to all this, so have no idea of whether it's possible. I gather it's not otherwise it would have been done by now?

Torrent-X doesn't work with the xTV skin because the XTGUI.xml file is missing. Does anyone know how to create one or modify one of the other GUI.xml files located in the 'skins' folder of the Torrent-X script folder.

Thanks for the great script. I'm using it with uTorrent on a old PC setup as a server. Anyone who haven't read the readme file and is not using all the features of Torrent-X...read it and enjoy your new found freedom...

How do I get the Torrent-Controller to work without using the defualt download directory?

Can the torrent-controller specify the diretory to download the content to?

This would be really handy, because I download different content, and it is all stored in different directories!

If I put in a default location, then all of the stuff arrives in a place that XB<C wont be able to see.

This version has been obsolote for some time. Torrent-X is the re-incarnation of this. I am also in the process of re-writing it to tidy things up and fix some problems and also add a few more options.

Heres whats happenning:
- Move chosen controller configuration options onto the main Upload/Download buttons rather than tagging them onto the torrent options..
- Remove the Second Label config options from config menus. Instead these will now be changed by pressing 'right' on the DPAD and the config is automatically updated. Makes it alot easier and quicker to view extra info.
- Have backups of last view so rather than the list being reset when a failure occurs it will revert to the previous good list..

+ More but im just trying to get it all functional with the re-write. I also want to get the SABnzbd fully functional and working..

Bugs:

Using AZ

DL/UL speed toward bottom of DL screen lays on top of torrent listing when more then 8(?) torrents are listed. Just a visual thing.

In downloads/action Forcestart is listed but not Queue. Just wondering why Queue is not listed as I would prefer to Q items. I dont know if this is xmltohttp limitation or not as I have never used it before now.

In downloads when a torrent is highlighted could you add ETA to the scrolling list? Or better yet a user defined scrolling list?

Why does the torrent remain to be upload to AZ? I thought this was not needed now. Of course I could just clear it.

In uploads the ratio listed is off by a full decimal place. I had a torrent that was only at .098 but it shows as .98 in Torrent-X.

Thats it for now. Keep up the good work :)

Start will Queue if you have queues set as that is how Az does it.

In downloads when a torrent is highlighted could you add ETA to the scrolling list? Or better yet a user defined scrolling list?

Yes, Ill look into that as Im sure that does get reported. There is an option if you press right on the torrent that it will switch through available labels so you can have a default display. Doing a user defined list would probably not be worth it. I'll look into how many other items are reported for a torrent I can add.

Why does the torrent remain to be upload to AZ? I thought this was not needed now. Of course I could just clear it.

Can you explain I dont understand what your saying. Are you talking about why there on disk.

Torrent-X v1.51 now released:

Just a few minor changes:
- AutoUpdate wasnt working due to slight change in googlecode site
- Config.xml will now be moved into q:/userdata/scripts directory as TorrentX.xml

To Update:
- Move the config.xml to another directory.
- Delete the old Torrent-X directory
- Install the new version
- Copy the config.xml back into the Torrent-X directory (The script will automatically move it to where it needs to be)
** Done **

If you do an 'Check Updates' then or have it on by default you will receive updates for Sabnzbd and Azurues to fix some small issues..

The new download is available from my Signature below..

Mayhem III (default skin)

Can you explain I dont understand what your saying. Are you talking about why there on disk.

From what I've read about the older version the .torrent files were stored on the x-box and then manually uploaded to the machine running AZ. Now thats no longer needed but the .torrent files are still on the xbox (when I hit some button I could upload them if I wanted)...Sorry I am using a universal remote and forget which button is A or B and such, so I sort of smashed the buttons when first trying Torrent-X :)
Perhaps its a non-issue and the .torrent files are cleared on exit?

The reason there back on there is going to be for people using unsupported controllers to pass files to SMB shares. The files can be cleaned out at any point using the "Config->Clear All" or "Config->Clear Torrents" options.

Hey,
first let me say Torrent-X is an excellent piece of software. How awesome it is to be able to download, on demand, any TV show or movie or game I want, for free.

Unfortunately, I can't. I'm running uTorrent and Torrent-x can see my upload/download queue, and i can surf the torrent sites for torrents, but when I click on them, a small dialog box comes up that says "Starting request..." then disappears. It doesn't add the torrent to uTorrent at all. uTorrent's actual webserver is running just fine, so can anyone explain why this doesn't worl?

Chronusdark

im using the latest torrent-x and im getting an error when downloading a torrent with utorrent the error message says IOError: [errno 2] No suck file or directory
then it shows the path name with like this
Q:\\scripts\\torrent-x\\files\\torrent\\<torrent name here>

the error is in ******** torrentsite.py line 446 in GetTorrent

i think the error might have something to do with the double slashes but i cant be certain if you need more info just let me know

blittan

2007-10-05, 20:44

the double slashes are a \ escaped in python (so that is correct).. BUT the script do not create the necessary directories, so you need to make them manually.. follow the path and create the ones needed.

chunk_1970: a few things to change in your script!

1: Make the script check if the paths it uses exists, otherwise use makedirs('path')
This is necessary to avoid simple errors that most users dont understand and just trashes the script.

2: change the save location to p:\script_data\torrentx\ (or p:\script_data\torrent-x\)
this is the default save location for scripts (p:\script_data) points to current profiles userdata directory where we create a script_data and then a subdirectory with the scripts name

3: change all filenames and paths to use lowercase names (hat way there wont be any misshaps if the script is run on linux or whatever platform used!
As you might be aware of xbmc is under porting to several platforms, and I just realised it when using XBMCScripts installer under linux.

Sorry, I don't think you understand my problem. I do have the webgui installed, that is how TorrentX can see what my downloads and uploads are. However, when I browse for torrents on the websites provided in TorrentX, then I select them, I get a brief dialog that says "starting request..." and then disappears. I go back to the downloads tab, and the torrent has not been added.

The web gui works flawlessly, and I can add torrents without any problems. Is there a way to just download the torrents to the harddrive with Torrent-X? The Torrentbrowser script doesn't work anymore.

I don't know what folders you are talking about. If you mean the folder Q/scripts/Torrent-X/files/torrent/, yes, I have that folder. There are torrents in it that I tried to download using Torrent-X, but they did not make it to uTorrent.

When I select a torrent to download, I don't get an error. I get "Starting request..." for 2 seconds, and then nothing.

I can't get Torrent-X to remember my uTorrent settings (IP, port, user, pass) between invocations, so that I have to input that information again every time I launch Torrent-X from XBMC.

Is this the way it's supposed to work, or is there a way to store those settings permanently?

I've searched around but can't seem to find an answer to this.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

The only skin.xml file I see in ResPath is in a "PAL" folder. I'm set to 720p.
Could that be a problem?

Alright. I got past yesterday's issue.

I have it loading up and displaying the torrent list from uTorrent.

There are a few things left to do.

1. Make it create the config properly. The functionality is there, but it isn't creating the settings xml file if it doesn't already exist. If its already there, it works fine.

2. Its built for use with the XBox controller only. I'd like to make it so you can use up/down keys on a remote or keyboard and use the info button etc..

3. Making a 720p skin

I'm a developer but have zero python experience. Does anybody want to help me out with this one?

how did you got it to load?

can someone write a step-to-step guide to get it to work with uTorrent ? I think Im kind of confused...

kareem613:
how did you fix the paths??

up/down/left/right should work using the keyboard, and the info. button on keyboard could be the 'i' key. 'A' should be the 'enter' key.

arias:
for others, maybe you as well, you need to have a webui.zip file in the application folder. this file is available here in the first post: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=14565

rename it to webui.zip

for xp, click start, run, then type "%appdata/utorrent/"
for vista, click start, type "%appdata/utorrent/" in the search bar
now place the webui.zip file into the folder, but don't extract it.

when in utorrent, press "Control" and "P" to bring up the Preferences menu.

on the left, there should be a "Web UI" option, click it, then make sure the "Enable Web UI" checkbox is checked.

set your username and password to your liking

changing the port is optional, which i believe can be changed in torrent-x thru its configuration as well.

go to the control panel, open "Network Connections" then find the IP address of the computer. if you're behind a router, at this point, you'd only be able to access this within the network, not from a remote location. you'd have to look into how to set that up, since there's so many variations on how this is done between both companies and products.

to check that it's running, with your IP address from above, port number (8080, unless you changed it), your username and password, open the webpage thru a web browser:http://youripaddress:port/gui/
and enter the username and password in the appropriate boxes.

now, in torrent-x, find the configuration settings for the script, and input this information into the appropriate fields.

I have nowhere to put the files to share and I'm leaving town for 2 weeks. When I get back I'll share them somehow.

All I did was change the paths it was point to, to the appropriate locations. It was assuming path structures based on an older XBMC I suppose.

I only messed with the top section of the file where it declares the locations of everything.

calvin8714

2009-01-22, 03:23

I tried fooling around with Torrent-X to get it working, and it does seems to work for me. Can some of you try it out as well, and post your results here? I also fixed some location references that probably would have prevented this from running across the different XBMC platforms, or at least prevent images from being displayed. I don't know enough to add the ability to get the keyboard to work... sorry.

kareem, didn't mean to step on your feet here. I didn't see your response until after I tinkered around with the script on my own.

i downloaded and installed the file above and it works with XBMC build 01-25-2009. i use windows XP, Azureus 2.5.0.4., XML over HTTP v1.1, and MC360.

question... i can view my downloads/uploads, but am i supposed to be able to select individual torrents in the download window and start/stop/pause them? i can only select the tabs at the top of the page. i push down on the d-pad, but i can't select the torrents.

thanks!

calvin8714

2009-03-02, 00:47

d-pad on your keyboard, i'm assuming?

it's my understanding that this script was built for the xbox and it's controls. unfortunately, i'm not familiar enough with the coding to manipulate it to allow the control of the script with either an xbox controller or a computer keyboard in a way that will not break the script.

Meez

2009-03-02, 05:44

yes, i only use a controller.

also, i just notices that the stop/start/pause/resume all torrents doesn't work either. i get an error,

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Q:\scripts\Torrent-X\controllers\Azureus\controller.py", line 741, in ConfigMenu
Response = self.XmlHttp(Object,Options[Answer][1],Options[Answer][2])
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'Object' referenced before assignment

maybe you can look into it.?

Hi,
I downloaded and tried Calvin's files, at least I can launch the script now, but it doesn't work like it used to...

I'd be happy to help with testing (on my new version of XBMC) and take some screenshots etc of it running on my old version of XBMC. Wish I knew a bit more about python, but I don't :S

Hi All,

Im the original developer although I have left this for some time due to work commitments. I am currently looking into converting them into auto updateable plugins (Hopefully!) once I've learnt how to do it properly.

After so long I cant even understand my own code, so a re-write is probably a good thing. I think Torrent-X was far too complex trying to be so many things for so many people so breaking it down may be better.

Meez

2009-05-27, 23:25

great to hear about an update! i look forward to the new release.

chunk_1970

2009-06-03, 21:04

Hopefully I will have a release in the next couple of days. Im trying to get all the functionality that the old version had.

Currently all navigation and control is working. Just got to add the ability to view and modify individual files within the torrents, then I will be happy with it for a first release.

Im currently testing on Babylon (I think!) version of XBMC.

Pre-requisits:
xmloverhttp (Same as before)
username and password for xmloverhttp plugin has to be setup.

Watch this space...

Meez

2009-06-03, 23:35

thats great news! i'll be looking forward to testing this out!

Hi All,

The Azureus plugin is now available to download from my Sig below.

As Stated:
1, You must have XMLoverHTTP installed in Azureus/Vuze.
2, The XmloverHTTP must have a Username/Password setup. Configuration menu will pop up when you first run the plugin.

Hopefully one of the many Python devs will give me access to the SVN-PLUGINS so that these can be easily maintained.

:shocked:Enjoy. There is not much in the way of error checking/debuging in this version.

The uTorrent Plugin (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53367) I wrote loads torrents from special://profile/torrents/. This should be the same as the Torrent-Controller for Azureus and ABC. :cool:
I mainly meant usability of the searching plugins. I wasn't sure if they were to be used standalone or from within the utorrent controller plugin. I didn't see settings for where the torrents get saved in those search plugins. I guess it's hardcoded.

I haven't used the search plugins, I think they are stand alone. However, the uTorrent Plugin (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53367) allows you to change the directory where torrents are loaded from. So if the search plugin is hardcoded you can always change the uTorrent load path.
