Unofficial uTorrent Web Interface

Hey guys i am developing a web interface for those who wish to connect to their utorrent via an http browser. This program simply uses api calls and retrieves data from the utorrent program. My program then hosts a web server on your computer and displays all the information on a page, which is password protected for your safety lol. Anyways the original post can be found here http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=8793 it has pictures and other information. Currently i am looking for artists and people who wish to help me with this project. Its a simple project so it most likely wont take months to make, just a couple weeks im assuming, not even. so check out http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=8793 and post if you wish to help, or have any questions.

Your efforts are definitely appreciated, but you shouldn't post all over the place -- one forum should be enough =|

sorry, but i wanted to reach a good amount of people. One of the topics is mainly for people who want to do artwork, the other is for information on my progress.

I am interested in this, i would have posted in your other thread but it seems to have been removed.

What have you got working so far? what programming language are you working in? is it going to run off IIS or is your program going to be a webserver too?

I am interested in seeing what you have so far, even if its just pulling out basic statistics from uT

Pleh

http://forum.utorrent.com/search.php?action=show_user&user_id=14197 <-- they weren't removed

I do believe it's using Visual Basic, and it's it's own server.

I just get "your search returned no hits" when i click that link

Cool, sounds like its exactly what im after, DigitalFx can you email me a beta version of what you have so far? and can you make your web server output xml instead of html?

I doubt he'll be responding, as his last post was in April. Those post timestamps DO serve a purpose, you know...

He may have subscribed to this post so he might recieve an email, that would mean he might read this post and if not i will just have to send him an email anyway.

something tells me that he dropped developing this project..

Thats a shame, i guess i will have to interface my flash uTorrent GUI with the official web interface when it is released, i hope it allows you to customise the html output.

Here is what i have so far, nothing works yet, but its a start for the flash interface im working on, all i have working at the moment is scaling and resizing the torrent listview.

Flash uTorrent Interface <-- Click here for a look (resize the window once its loaded)

JSON is used to communicate between utorrent.exe and the WebUI. Only statistics/information is transferred, no HTML or whatever, so yeah, you can customize the output.

I just did a quick bit of research on JSON and it looks perfect to load into flash, nice and lightweight. When the official web UI is released i should be able to hook it up to my flash UI fairly easily

JSON is lovely.

Does anyone know where i can get an example piece of JSON that uTorrents Web UI produces?

Maybe you can ask Directrix or ludde on the IRC channel.

Pleh, it looks good.. and why not.. the more UIs the better..

thats a more up to date link, its only an example of what it will look like though. The actual one that im working on does actually work, so far you can view your torrents, start, stop, pause and remove them. I will release it when the WebUI goes live.

All i need to do now is allow adding torrents and adding scrollbars and adjustable columns to the torrent list.

And then skins

Yeah, skins would be cool, i tried doing a skin system in flash before, but it was really hard and i gave up, i guess it will need more research

Hey guys sorry i havent been around to contribute myself. I have quit this project months ago, i should of posted about it. I have uploaded my source, its in vb6 format. Url is http://www.uploading.com/files/JUW8H9IT/uTorrentWI.zip.html you can mess with it. For reference, the code is crappy i also downloaded code from pscode and other places and pieced it together to work somewhat. Some if not all controls are poorly named. All the mistakes a programmer could do are most likely in this one application lol. I was only trying to get it to work for myself and friends so i took the easy cheap way out. Anyways i did quit the project in hopes for the official one to be good. Any questions ill try to help out, but dont expect much. I havent even looked at the source b4 uploading it mainly because i dont have vs6 installed anymore, im on to .net.. so to the best of my ability i will help. So again http://www.uploading.com/files/JUW8H9IT/uTorrentWI.zip.html is where to get the source. I am not sure of any of the code at this point, i dont think you have to have any specific folders created so it should run and work right out of any location on your pc. Hopefully i covered some important questions. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunatly you are a little late, i have allready started work on a flash interface for the official uTorrent WebUI.

If you want to help me bug test it that would be cool
