utorrent for X86 2.2.01

[sphardy]

Back to utorrent and RSS support.

While we wait for RSS support to be added to the utorrent core, I modified the setup file for Automatic to just download torrent files and then set utorrent to autoload those. No need for transmission to be installed or running

automatic.conf file is as follows (I keep all torrent stuff in /c/media/bittorrent, so change those path references as needed):

Code: Select all

##############################
## Version-specific options ##
##############################

# Transmission version. Options are "1.2", "1.3", and "external"
transmission-version = "external"

# Call an external program instead of transmission directly
#
# If you use this, set transmission-version to "external"
# For best results, use an absolute path to the executable
# Executable is passed a single parameter, the name of the .torrent
# file that was downloaded.  The .torrent file passed to this external
# program may be removed after the program returns.
# The program should return exit code 0 for success and non-0 for failure
# Automatic won't respond to ctrl-C while waiting for this to return
#
transmission-external = "/c/media/Bittorrent/utorrent/start.sh"

# create 'start.sh' with the following contents
#    #!/bin/sh
#    exit 0


# For Transmission 1.3x and newer only: set the host on which Transmission runs (default: localhost)
# rpc-host = "localhost"

# For Transmission 1.3x and newer only: set the RPC port on which Transmission & Clutch communicate (default: 9091)
# rpc-port = 9091

# For Transmission 1.3x and newer only: If you configured Transmission/Clutch to use password authentication, Automatic needs that information as well
# rpc-auth = "user:password"

# For Transmission 1.2x only: Path to the Transmission configuration files
# transmission-home = "~/.config/transmission"


#####################
## General options ##

# Specify an RSS feed by its URL and optionally a Cookie string for private feeds
# If you have more than one feed, just create another "feed" option

feed = { url => "http://rss-feed-goes-here    "
         cookies => ""
       }             

# list of feed URLs. You can specify one or more feeds, in case of the latter use curly brackets (see the "patterns" option for an example)
# DEPRECATED. Use the "feeds" option instead
#url = ""

# interval in minutes between checks for new downloads
interval = 30

# Limit upload speed (in KB/s) for each torrent that is added to Transmission via Automatic
#upload-limit = 10

# Automatically add downloaded torrents to Transmission (requires
# transmission-daemon and transmission-remote to be installed or use
# of "external" option)
# If this is not set, all Automatic will do is save the .torrent file.
use-transmission = no

# Instruct Transmission to immediately start downloading torrents after being added
# If set to 'no' torrents will be added in a paused state
# start-torrents = yes

# path where Automatic will store downloaded torrents - utorrent is set to load torrent files from this directory
torrent-folder = "/c/media/Bittorrent/utorrent"

# path to the file which stores information about already downloaded torrents (so they don't get readded to Transmission)
statefile = "/c/media/Bittorrent/automatic.state"

# Prowl API key. You can use this to send push notifications to an iPhone. See http://prowl.weks.net for more information
#prowl-apikey = ""

# A filter contains a regular expressions which is matched against each RSS item.
# You may also specify a "folder" sub-option for each filter which will tell Transmission
# to download any matches with that particular pattern to a folder of your choice.
# If you want files to go to Transmission's default download folder, just omit it.
#
# Please don't use curly brackets within a regular expression, it'll horribly break the configuration parser :)
# Letter-casing does not matter
#
# If you have more than one pattern, just create a number of additional "filter" options

From Frontview -> Installed Addons -> Automatic:

To configure automatic rename the file /etc/automatic.conf-sample to /etc/automatic.conf and edit the contents as needed

Requires that you enable root SSH access

Just confirmed that RSS support is already in uTorrent for Linux - but we're waiting for the WebUI to be updated to support it

http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php ... 20#p526120

Looks like there's a commandline utility to access it

Edit: Forget the commandline utility - it's written in python3...

sphardy couldn't you use a config backup to load a modified version of your automatic.conf file?

Are you referring to this: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=45059&start=45&p=262605&view=show#p262081
If so, then Yes...

But what would be better is if WhoCares? were to add the editor function to the Frontview interface like he uses for phpvboxmgr. At least until RSS support is added to the uTorrent webui

Hi -

I installed uTorrent last night. Brought up the GUI, set the username & pwd, set some file locations..and re-logged in with the new username & pwd.

Then I tried to add a torrent, and...nothing. Stopped and restarted and noted that the username & pwd was reset to admin & blank.

None of the new file location directories were created.

I'm guessing this is a permissions thing - do I need to SSH into the nas and do a chmod on something??

thx - Mark

[sphardy]

Ah! I was just exchanging emails with S-P on this yesterday...

Then I tried to add a torrent, and...nothing. Stopped and restarted and noted that the username & pwd was reset to admin & blank.

When you say "username & pwd was reset to admin & blank" you mean in the GUI? If so - that's normal, uTorrent never shows the password.

The issue you're hitting is that S-P has configured the server to run as nobody:nogroup - which is the most secure option. But it means that for the server to create and modify files/directories, then the everyone permissions must be set to allow write access to the required location.

To test, you could SSH in and perform a "chmod 777" on the parent folder of where you want your utorrent folders to be, and also on any existing subdirectories you wish to use.

To fix this going forward, I believe S-P is looking at the option of creating a specific user for uTorrent to run as, that way you could add that user to a relevant group and give write access that way. Or even specific access to a share.

The username and password were reset to the default upon adding a torrent.

I'll muck with the permissions on the uTorrent folders this evening and report back.

thanks - Mark

The username and password were reset to the default upon adding a torrent.

Possible user error? Here's how my settings look and I've changed the password successfully:



All settings get saved in /usr/local/utorrent/settings.dat - you can check permissions just in case; should be owned by "nobody:nogroup"

[losgatos_mark]

a quick follow up - logging in via SSH to chmod 777 the directories I specified worked fine...thanks - Mark
