Hey Matias, it's nice to see such frequent updates and I think it's great how you consider so many user requests. I have a request. I'm not sure if it's feasible or if it would require a lot of work, but is there any chance of getting a SOCKS proxy added in addition to the HTTP that's there? It's a rather small detail, and I'm not sure if it would benefit more people than just me, but it would make things simpler for me while I'm at work.

[matias]

I'll see what can I do.

Cheers.

Hey, I'm not sure if it's cause I'm on x64 vista ultimate or not (I'm assuming so cause x86 never did this) but after having µRemote running for about an hour I get a message that µRemote has stopped working. Just wondering if you knew of this and if so what you suggest?

[matias]

Any error log? Any error on the logger tab before closing?

[redone632]

After connecting to my Seedbox server, I will receive this error message in the error log and it won't be able to reconnect. I would have to restart uRemote and hope that it connects again. I can't really find the cause because it just seems to happen at random.

2009/03/12 17:29:36--> Source:System--> Inner Exception:
--> Message:The operation has timed out--> StackTrace:   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()   at uRemote.Connection.GetWebResponse(String pURL, String pUsername, String pPassword, String pDomain)--> Data:System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal--> Error Code:Connection.cs:127

[matias]

When uRemote detects a timeout against your server, it will wait a few seconds before trying again.

If you get more timeouts this wait time will be incremented.

This error shouldn't be crashing uRemote, so .. what's in the logger tab?

[redone632]

It says an error has occurred, check the error log and something about a timeout and keeps repeating.

[matias]

Send me an email, it's in the about window.

Cheers.

i just installed uRemote..looked good..except no tray icon.

But after I restarted, it will no longer run.

the Microsoft Bug report dialog comes up. deleted folder and re-extracted..same problem.

os: w2kSp4/Rollup

I'm not sure what version of .Net i have running, but v2 is installed in framework folder. I do know later versions Will Not install in 2k.

update:

I used the Installer to reinstall, i got a 2ed desktop icon for uRemote, which loads@ Conection config was gone. re-entering it.

Got a tray icon this time.

Exited and restarted..worked..

perhaps somethings missing in zip install?

[matias]

I don't see anything wrong with the zip version ...

Hi Sir,

Is any prossible to add RSS page on your UI?

If it is prossible, I could start download directly without download torrent.

[matias]

@takumibox,

That functionality is not exposed in WebUI API. Maybe I could add my own implementation in µRemote, but I don't know if it worth.

Regards.

[amontoth]

wishlist:

-can you add 'Close to Tray' in addition to 'Minimize to Tray'. Most tray apps i use have 'Close to Tray' feature (with application exit as a tray menu item), I keep closing uRemote when I don't want to...

-The Menu Bar Icons are almost twice the size of the ones in uTorrent, could you harmonize the size?

-there is no 'Server' column uRemote, so I am guessing you do not have a aggregate feature to show torrents on all servers configured. Any plans to implement that?

nice app, thanks

[matias]

added to the requests list

;-)

[takumibox]

Thanks.

if it can support RSS, I could remote control my Private torrent from PT site.

Currently, I couldn't add Private torrent file or from URL in office. (maybe firewall isue)

[matias]

@takumibox,

Do you get any error loading .torrents?

When you tried to load torrents by url, did you use the cookie info?

[amontoth]

Just noticed a problem:

Status field is incomplete!

Instead of reporting "Error: There is not enough space on the disk."

it just reports "Error"

[Lord Alderaan]

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.

[amontoth]

oh

that damn webui backend It should at least return a error code

well

here's something you CAN fix

In the torrent context menu, change DELETE to REMOVE in order to to be consistent with uTorrent usage.

Hi

I just started using uremote - really like it. I'm getting an error when trying to stop, pause or remove torrent. It says "couldn't connect to...". I can add torrents and do anything else without problems. Any ideas ?

thanks

[matias]

@kylogram, do you have any proxy configured?

are you using the test build or latest stable version?

[kylogram]

At first I've tried latest stable, then test version and now I am back to latest stable. Results are the same. Actually one of my torrents is now paused but there is no way to make it start again. After the error I have to restart uremote.
