Hey joz I'm still not clear on how exactly you incorporated the webui in your server console... In any case, if you ReverseProxy it to /utorrent/ you should change the webui.js in the webui.js.gz in the webui.zip because the javascript in there is hardcoded to go to /gui. I thought you already knew that or I would have said so before. As to the Webui-Shell code. It might be a mess to look at but basically what it does is A) catch all requests to a certain path (/gui/*) using a rewriter rule and direct it to a single php script (webui_shell/index.php). Of course I pass the originally requested path. And let that script then get the file or list or pass the command to µtorrent using cURL. The reason the Webui-Shell does all this is because it has to be able to change stuff on the fly. Like not passing on commands that a user isn't allowed to do or filtering torrents that a user isn't allowed to see from the list. etc. Of course you aren't interested in that last bit. But maybe you'd like the basic setup. Sadly it's interwoven with all the other stuff so there isn't really a single file or place in the code to look. The main files to look at though are inc/user/webui.php and index.php. Trac is down... again lol. But you can always download the actual package and look at the files yourself. Link is in the topic. Creating something similar is gonna take you quite some time though

I now get invalid request when trying to goto the normal webui. Also the webui options are gone. Falcon itself works fine

joz, Maybe you should take a look at the code of the Webui Shell. Sadly trac is down atm so you can't. But the Webui Shell is a php app that kinda does what you want to do (except that it is a lot more complicated because of all the extra functionality).

Yes... (arguably) thousands of people use and enjoy the webui on a daily basis but because you think it doesn't do something (something rather specific too) it is of course totally useless. And the truth is you didn't even really look into it because the Webui has an API and as a result there are multiple community efforts that can do precisely what you want... and if there wasn't you could have written something yourself... http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=33186

In fact, for (slightly intelligent) admins on a private tracker it is easy to find people who used hacks like GreedyTorrent and ban them. Just a friendly warning.

RedMax74, that is not possible. Because the webui API doesn't support it. And that is probably because it poses serious security issues because it would mean remote access to the data on the machine running µtorrent.

Beta versions are available on the forum in the Announcements section.

Just fyi: the Multi-user Webui-Shell saves the cookie per user. Installing it is a lot of effort if per-user cookies is the only thing you are looking for though.

Updated. I used to get a lot of errors in my logger tab, something about streams. Never got around to reporting it (yes I can be a lazy bum sometimes ) but it's gone now.

grap you are in the wrong thread for that mate. Look here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=215043#p215043 http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=55908 Another topic to look through when you want/need stuff: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=33186

The 2.1 backend supports RSS. However, the webui (frontend) in use by Falcon doesn't have it implemented yet. I'm sure that if it gets implemented there it'll also be implemented in the WIP or in a new release of the webui.zip.

Make sure you filled in the right username and password and BOTH are capital sensitive.

I see that the webui preferences in µTorrent itself allows me to specify download locations. But the add torrent box does not allow me to pick from those? Also not implemented in the interface yet I assume?

Good to know :-) It wasn't about the download feature itself btw, my question was more like "Are all features implemented in Falcon also automatically available to the regular webui or did Falcon introduce a few request exclusively reserved to Falcon?" But I realize it is the latter, at least for now Anyways, enough about the regular webui, back to Falcon itself I was wondering if we could get a bit more information about it's intended use? Is Falcon a special project with a specific customer base? Or is it intended as new feature for the whole µTorrent user base? I imagine the bandwidth load for the Falcon server (even if one disregards the proxied file downloads) would be quite immense if a significant portion of the whole user base would start using Falcon so I'm kinda assuming it will have a specific audience. So if it is designed for a specific customer base what kinda situations should we keep in mind while fooling around?

I see a new webui req for the scheduler but I see the file transfer proxying isn't going through the webui API. I was wondering... is the file transfer going to be available for the regular webui API too?

Maybe some firewall with http filtering is interfering...

Did you try increasing the "Update torrent list every (ms):" and "Update file list every (ms):" options to increase performance? Heheh IE6... as long as you don't expect websites to display correctly or work at all for that matter and as long as you take care of your own safety (exploit wise) I for one don't care if you use it @matias: Here is a totally trivial bug for you: Various tabstops in the preferences dialog are out of order. Test Connection button is after Connect at startup, Cancel is before Save, Update file list every (ms) is last and everything in the general tab is out of order.

I think you were using a old webui.zip file. This has been the default skin for almost 8 months now.

matias, I find it handy to subscribe to certain topics. That way I don't have to pay attention to the whole forum just to stay updated on what people say about projects I'm interested in.

Minor bug: The greyed out current file priority (regardless of whether it is "High Priority", "Normal Priority" or "Low Priority") is still not localized when r-clicking on a single file in the files tab. Example of issue when I put language on Dutch: Suggestion: JSON error field to logger tab The backend sometimes returns an error field in its JSON return. For example when you try to add-file a torrent that already exists. The WebUI does nothing with this error. My suggestion is to create a line in the logger tab with the error.

Test your external IP from a computer somewhere else on the internet. Most routers don't support loopback on their own external IP.

iirc there is a minor bug with upgrading from certain versions that will cause certain settings to be set to NaN. In the case of the webui ip restriction list the result is that everyone is banned from the webui. Banned users just get to see Invalid Request, this is basically a stealth-mode because if the webui wasn't activated at all you would also see Invalid Request. This way banned users won't know if they are banned or if the webui simply isn't activated. More about Invalid Request and it's causes here.

Update to the newest version of µTorrent should fix that. If not try deleting settings.dat and settings.dat.old in %appdata% (please note that this will reset all settings and you will have to setup utorrent again).

Webui backend does not pass on the actual error. It can only discern between tracker errors and critical errors. If you get a critical one you have to look at µtorrent itself to see what is wrong.

Beto113 I can tell you right now that option 1 is impossible because the webui API that this application uses to get information from µTorrent does not provide the add/completed datestamps for torrents right now.
