Hello, I am using the Torrest plugin to play torrent files with my addon. I would like to know how I can show the percentage of the current download to the users since I have no problem playing videos, but in the image section it tells me “No candidate files found” so I download them with:

“plugin://plugin.video.torrest/torrents/{}/download”.format(info_hash)

And to show the status I have tried in the same way with: “plugin://plugin.video.torrest/torrents/{}/torrent_status”.format(info_hash)

But nothing happens. I have tried to do it in several ways but it does not work. Is there any way to do it or is it impossible? Thank you for your help and for your excellent work.

kodi 18.9 windows
from the livestreampro addon I am calling torrest in the following way:

plugin://plugin.video.torrest/play_url?url="https://www.sport-video.org.ua/Internazionale - Lazio 30.04.2023.mkv.torrent"

however torrest does nothing, it does not launch the torrent.

in the kodi log it says the following:

ERROR: JSONRPC: Failed to parse '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Files.GetDirectory","params":{"directory":"plugin://plugin.video.torrest/play_url?url ="https://www.sport-video.org.ua/Internazionale - Lazio 30.04.2023.mkv.torrent"","media":"video","properties":[ "plot","playcount", "director", "genre","votes","duration","trailer","premiered","thumbnail","title","year","dateadded","fanart","rating","season ","episode","studio","mpaa"]},"id":1}'

torrest works correctly from other addons, could you please help me so that when I call torrest from listreampro it launches the video? thank you

If for any reason the user sets an un-accesible download path (in-existent, read-only, ...) Torrest binary would crash. It will not recover on Kodi init:

In this case, the binary should find an alternative accesible default path, but not crash. /userdata/addon_data/plugin.video/torrest would be a good place, not only for the python part, but also for the binary.

In the current situation, if not settings.json exists, the binary uses the exec binary path as default for download and torrent path. It may happens, mainly in Android 10+, that that path is read-only

User claims the environment was working fine with previous LibreELEC and Kodi 18.9 versions
LibreElect 9.95.4 Kodi 19.1 - Torrest-Kodi crash.log

With the LibreELEC version 10 oficial, platform.machine() is reporting Arm64 processors a aarch64, even if the OS is 32 bit. The result is that both the Torrest installer and Deamon choose a wrong binary version: linux_x86:

CRITICAL:root:Resolving platform - system=linux, version=5.10.52, arch=x86, machine=aarch64

If have temporary patched for Alfa users the Torrest "os_platform.py" module as follows (lines 52-54):
if "armv7" in machine or ('aarch' in machine and arch == Arch.x86): arch = Arch.armv7 elif "arm" in machine or 'aarch' in machine:

While this solves the problems por existing users, those who make a clean installation will get the linux_x86 binary, so this patch will not help.

Hello,

Is there a recommended way that I should include plugin.video.torrest in my repository?

Looking to add torrest support to my addon: https://github.com/pikdum/plugin.video.haru

For example, ResolveURL recommends doing this:

<dir>
    <info compressed="false">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gujal00/smrzips/master/addons.xml</info>
    <checksum>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gujal00/smrzips/master/addons.xml.md5</checksum>
    <datadir zip="true">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gujal00/smrzips/master/zips/</datadir>
</dir>

Would be neat if I could get things working without users needing to install it separately.

Thanks!

Hi,
Subject basically says all.
I inserted a USB dongle into my Fire TV Cube gen3 usb port.
After it's been recognized I pointed "Download path" and "Torrent folder" to something like: /Storage/USB id/Android/org.xbmc.kodi/ first and after I also tried /Storage/USB id/Android/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.
Torrest starts correctly but when I try to download anything, if the file is big, the buffer starts accumulating but suddenly hangs.
Not sure if the issue is related to the USB pointing but I cant try using internal storage cause it's very limited.
Sorry for wasting your time if I did anything wrong.

Regards.

I’m extremely concerned with Torrest 0.0.15 performance on a high-end Android Arm Tv-box with external USB3 disks (both mechanical and SSD).

I just made a clean test to give you some figures (performed in two different boxes of the same model):

• TV-box: GTKing PRO, 6x Cores S922X, 4 GB main memory, 3xUSB3 120 MB/s read, 20 MB/s write, NTFS 5 TB disk, full Android 9 rooted, Kodi 19.5
• Comms: 500/500 Mbits optical fiber
• Time to access to torrent list within Torrest addon, while 3 torrents downloading: 4 minutes, where it was immediate in previous version
• Time to access to RESP server from Chrome to list torrents: similar to the access through Torrest addon
• Download throughput: about 20% of the previous version. Previously it reached the max disk write throughput (20 MB/s), where now the top is 4 MB/s
• I have tried with both the .so library and the binary with similar results.

With these results it is obvious that Torrest 0.0.15 is unusable in this environment and I’m force to switch back to the previous version while you identify the problem. I can do this task without problem, but I wonder what may be the feeling and reaction of other users in similar situation. Torrest has a great reputation among users, but can be drained rapidly if you do no address the issue rapidly.

NOTE: Just to complicate the picture, I have tried on my mobile, Motorola One Action (medium-low performance), Android 11, using the internal memory for download, with NO visible performance degradation, reaching 30 MB/s downloads speed (max mobile Wifi speed), with immediate response on listing the active torrents.

File "E:\Program Files\Kodi_20\Kodi\portable_data\addons\plugin.video.torrest\lib\dialog.py", line 1, in
from xbmcgui import Dialog, WindowXMLDialog, ACTION_PARENT_DIR, ACTION_NAV_BACK, ACTION_PREVIOUS_MENU
ImportError: cannot import name 'ACTION_PARENT_DIR' from 'xbmcgui' (unknown location)
-->End of Python script error report<--

Please, take a look to this alternative code:

try:
from xbmcgui import Dialog, WindowXMLDialog, ACTION_PARENT_DIR, ACTION_NAV_BACK, ACTION_PREVIOUS_MENU
except:
#CHECK https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/input/actions/ActionIDs.h
from xbmcgui import Dialog, WindowXMLDialog
ACTION_PARENT_DIR = 9
ACTION_NAV_BACK = 92
ACTION_PREVIOUS_MENU = 10

Please add the file index to the API.
Example:
plugin://plugin.video.torrest/play_url?url=&file_index=

It seems that the Libtorrest.so approach is not compatible with Kodi 18-Python 2.

I have tried replacing the /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.torrest/resources/bin/android_arm/libtorrest.so with the torrest.0.0.3.android_arm binary and it works.

We ha added Torrest as an option torrent downloader in our Alfa add-on. After testing Torrest for few days we have some issues/questions/improvements:

• Is there a way to limit the concurrent number of downloading torrents? Let say I need to download a series season. That may generate 10 torrents. For smaller devices it might be wise to let only a few torrents concurrently downloading while the rest stay queued waiting for an open slot. Tried “Connections Limit” without success.

• Can you add a function to call Torrest to download from a torrent filename? Here is an example of a code for navigation.py that might work:

@plugin.route("/play_path")
@check_playable
@query_arg("path")
def play_file(path, buffer=True):
	info_hash = api.add_torrent(path, ignore_duplicate=True)
	play_info_hash(info_hash, buffer=buffer)

• On doing some performance testing I have found that comparing a torrent download of the same torrent file in the same conditions, stand-alone, Python binding Libtorrent-rasterbar v2.0.2 is about twice faster that Torrest with internal Libtorrent-rasterbar v1.2.11. How can Torrest performance be improved?

I have sent you emails to your [email protected] account providing more details about how Alfa works and ways for further cooperation.

Alfa Team

On uninstalling Torrest add-on in W10 it does not stop properly the Service, so Kodi cannot deleted the add-on's folder because there are some files in use (binary?):

Hi, I’m using CoreELEC 20.1 on an Amlogic s905x box. While using “Alfa” add-on, with last 0.0.14 version and this newer 0.0.15 version, the torrent pop-up window stays on “Buffering” forever, the torrents never start. Weeks ago I tried a 0.0.12 modified version that I found somewhere and worked once, not the next time.

I waited to share this problem until version 0.0.15 just in case the problem would be solved, but it does not seem to be the case.

I have limited knowledge, but I can give logs and/or try things that you propose.

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi, I have the same problem with torrest daemon binary armv7, 'file not found' in the torrest plugin 0.0.16 with binary 0.0.4, these ones https://github.com/i96751414/plugin.video.torrest/files/11072160/torrest_armv7.zip) you uploaded in this issue #21 worked for me but they are outdated so they are 0.0.3 torrest binary version. Could you send me the 0.0.4 fixed for armv7?

I have Apple TV and run Kodi on it. But Apple TV don't support the binary run. So maybe this client and server idea will work.
Server can be raspberry pi or Linux or windows
Client is kodi addon simple python not run binary

Here is another user schema. I like it but elementum not support it and development stop. Maybe Torrest take flag from elementum? Why not?

when I try to manually execute torrest bin I receive this

Can this be fixed?

Hello there, @i96751414 and everyone that reads this, I have a problem when adding torrest support with my addon, either using url, a file or a magnet link, this makes kodi crash, however this only happens when I use PlayMedia since with RunPlugin it works as in theory it should work and it starts to load the buffer, only logically at the end it doesn't play my file. I suppose that if one way works the other way it should too but when I start loading the file the loading wheels freeze and Kodi crashes, also if I add the files manually it works as it should so it's not a ram memory thing either since this also happens to me not only with windows, also with android tv I leave my log and a small fragment of my code that in theory should work unless I have forgotten something, thanks in advance.

Hey there!
Just got Torrest, and I've noticed that whenever I load a magnet or torrent file, it starts the download right onto my local drive.
Are downloading to cache memory and streaming not supported yet?

Also, I tried pausing the video and checking the torrent file; it just kept downloading until the entire video file was complete.

I have mecoolk6 with original android tv 10, im using kodi 19 matrix and install torrest from github repo, instalation dont give me an error but daemon look like dont start, when i use it under windows 10, i dont have any problem working on same kodi version.

Thanks

Hello, and thank you for your work on this plugin. It is working well through the API with this:
https://github.com/theRedMercury/KODI-Popcorn-Time/tree/dev
running on OSMC on an RPi4.

In the config menu, I have enabled the "Ask to remove torrent after streaming" option, and it does work, but various family members forget to select 'yes' when the prompt appears.

This leads to already watched files accumulating on the Raspi's storage, which is a modest SD card, until no free space remains.

I would much appreciate a config option to auto delete files after streaming, without it having to prompt the user.
I suppose that it's similar code to the existing, but without a visible prompt, and the return value is always assumed as 'yes'.

I would attempt such a change myself, but I have little Github experience, so would likely break versioning.

Cheers for reading this. I realise that it's a minor issue, but would make all the difference in my use case.
