[RELEASE] uTorrent XBMC PauseResume Script

rudeboyx Wrote:what are your plans for this script?

i for one would love to see individual torrent control and maybe something alittle more appealing to the eyes.

Individual torrent control is a great idea, watch out for future versions! If you have any ideas for the script, I have included a screen shot, perhaps users could edit and submit their ideas! A talented skin creator could probably create a background in little to no time at all!

I just tried this out. I've got some suggestions.

- There's no way to exit the user->pass->ip->port questions if you want to. You have to complete them and get them correct otherwise you have to restart XBMC.

- Rather than a seperate window opening with the Pause/Resume/Settings why not just open a dialog with those options. Then your script automatically matches the current skin.

Thanks for the input! The second suggestion is great, it is probably faster as well. As for the first, the user can't exit in the middle of the prompts, but I could add a dialog that asks if the user wants to try again.

I just noticed the release thread for this. I posted in the test thread. I wanted to let you know 1.1.3 is working fine here on Win32. I think the idea of just opening a dialog to match the current skin for now is a good idea until more features are added and some skins created.

Here is a list of available features, within the WebUI API. There is a small number of actions and job properties. The only useful ones I see are start, stop, pause, resume; and, these work the same way, almost! However, I think individual torrents is a great idea, and the ability to pause or resume certain torrents will be included in upcoming releases.

If you see anything else in that post, or have any other ideas, let me know!

I would also like to see, "remove torrent" and "remove torrent and delete data".

I see how those could be useful. I will put together a beta tomorrow and see what result we get. The input is enough to change the script completely!

Continue to post, if you have anymore ideas!

If you eventually wanted to take it a step further you could add the add-url or add-file API and integration with the SceneReleases plugin may be possible (I think plugins/scripts can communicate?).

Either way, when it comes down to implementing a skin I don't mind helping out.

dont know if its possible after looking at the web api commands, but there was torrent script back in the day of xbmc1.0 for utorrent/azures, which displayed most details of individual torrents like %complete and download rates/peers etc. would be great if you could get these in to the script.

I'm having a problem with my WebUI at the moment so I can't check it out but maybe it's just a matter of scraping the info?
