(it simply wont show up). i'm running cherrypy and have already double checked the settings. any idea whats causing this?

WIP. Changes to be confirmed next couple of days. This is to allow viewing of images outside of your LAN.

One thing I noticed on the todo list that I really wanted was the uTorrent module. I decided to give it a try and below is a link to what I came up with. I used the existing XBMC uTorrent addon to create a utorrent client library that will get a torrent listing, and then the Transmission Maraschino module as a template to create a uTorrent version. I plan on enhancing it further but right now it mirrors the functionality of Tranmission only without the total ETA list. I plan on enhancing it a little but it definitely works. I included instructions in the README file but if mrkipling sees fit to include it into the main release getting it working will be a lot easier.

P.S. I didn't create a repo or anything for this so my Dropbox link will probably only be good for a month or two before I need to delete it to free up some space. Again, if included with the main release this will be unneeded, just a quick way to get the code out for now.

I'll add this to my repo to test it.

--EDIT
Works well. Really like this! Nice job!

Thanks. I have already seen a few things I'd like to work on more. If you want I can keep you informed of updates or would you rather I start a git clone so I can just send the pull request? I've never done that before but I'd imagine that might be the better route.

@robweber - You are better to open a free git account. Github will be a little alien at first, I've been using it for nearly 2 years and I'm still learning.

I've been working on an RSS Feed module which has proven to be quite a headache
Big thanks to N3MIS15 for his patience in answering loads of my questions and helping loads when I got confused.

I'm really proud of it, but still want to tweak a couple of things -
What do you think?




Further sites can be added on request. Will put a PR in for this soon...

Things I'm aware of -
OneDDL gives 403 Forbidden when accessing their images directly. Fine once cached. Not sure how to fix. Site RSS Bug?
TPB's Feed is unstable at best and will take a few attempts to connect - Add to Transmission is also available (Cheers N3MIS15).
Some images have different aspect ratios and may overhang the boxes they are in at times (need a fix without affecting TV Banners).

Have just pushed midgetspy's changes to images from the XBMC API. They are now served by Maraschino instead of being hotlinked, which means that you shouldn't get broken images or be prompted to enter your username and password.

This is fantastic. Now the auto-updater that someone has started to work on, and this is perfect. There will also remain some even newer and cooler functions, but soon the fundamentals are all there!!!

One question - I just tried to update and didn't see today's version yet. How long does it usually take to become accessible?


Re: Maraschino (formerly HTPC Frontend) - a summary web interface for your XBMC HTPC - robweber - 2012-03-25 16:41

I created a github account and did a fork of the maraschino project. Ill start adding the uTorrent stuff and send a request to merge it back in soon. Thanks for the help.

Instantly.
Did you git pull?

Humm something goofy... all of the images are gone now, when I check the URL for the images they are all pointing to http://192.168.125.101:8080/vfs/

Specs, did a pull for Marashino at 12:20 MST, and update to Eden 11.0 at 12:10 MST, running on apache platform.
