µTorrent MiniUI

[randomofamber]

:cool: super :cool:

I like this UI and thank you wery much for it.

[alamarco]

Ultima, you're the man .

With the new config, setting the width to 320px, loading the page and a quick double-tap fills the screen perfectly. Looks great in the iPhone .

[Ultima]

Interestingly, I just found out that I can indeed work around the desktop width "emulation" I was referring to in a way that won't break other browsers -- and it'll work with both iPhone and Opera Mobile. I've implemented it, and it seems to work well with Opera Mobile -- meaning the config.js is actually irrelevant now, as you no longer have to zoom in It'll be there for the next update, whenever that is.

+ Feature: Paging/sorting/filtering/searching on files list

~ Change: Clicking "Options" while options are shown cancels changes and hides

~ Change: Mobile browsers should no longer require zooming

~ Change: Remove static page width configuration

~ Change: Slightly more reliable parsing of JSON

~ Change: Stop using fixed position for tabs/toolbar

* Fix: Guest logins can cause "Loading..." screen to block everything sometimes

See first post for the link.

Is there any way to make miniui remember user/pass since iPhone's browser's can't remember password but can use cookies?

[Lord Alderaan]

Nope. user/pass is done at µtorrent core level. No webui.zip mod can change that.

[Ultima]

No information is sent out to browsers until login details are presented to the µTorrent WebUI backend. "Information" includes files -- like MiniUI's HTML files. So the answer is "no."

At best, you may be able to use http://username:password@url:port/gui/ as your URL and store it in the browser bookmarks, though that'll be stored in plain text.

[Pax0707]

That one worked!

Thanks.

[Ultima]

BlackBerry Javelin/Bold/Storm support added. The browser doesn't support GZIPped contents, though, so you'll need to extract the .gz files as described in the notes in the first post.

I would have supported the Pearl and Curve, but it seems their browsers don't support XHR. Oh well. I don't really like the prospect of re-introducing iframe loading :/ Realize that you can still run Opera Mini on either the BlackBerry Pearl or Curve, and that Opera Mini supports MiniUI superbly.

I think I need to streamline the torrents list a bit. Information overload D: If anyone's reading this... what (if any) pieces of information do you think I should tuck away from the Torrents list, into the Details tab?

[Lord Alderaan]

Priority list of torrent details from low to high imho:

Completed MB (in the first line)

Downloaded MB (in the 3rd line)

x/x seeds, x/x peers

Speeds

ETA

Uploaded MB (in the 4th line)

Completed %

Copies (=Availability?)

Size MB (in the first line)

Ratio

Status

Name

Updated http://cdlist.mine.nu/dump/webui.zip in post #6 btw.

[alamarco]

Awesome, the new update looks even better on the iPhone. I think I now use MiniUI even more than the WebUI now .

Thanks again for all the effort Ultima

[Demon-boy]

I'm using this on my iphone and it's really great, just a couple of things, could you maybe put in an option to remove torrents? And maybe I've got fat fingers, but I can't click the + icons without zooming right in, maybe a bit bigger and away from the edge a bit would help. The ETA doesn't seem to work for me, just the infinity symbol. No-one else has mentioned that yet, am I doing it wrong?

Thanks for a great little app!

[Ultima]

Indeed, removal is something I plan on doing, but it's cause for a bit of ugliness from how I'm envisioning it (not something that would prevent me from implementing, but just something I'm trying to put off to see if I can come up with something better). As it is, I don't update the UI when any action is performed (start/stop/pause/etc), and that can be confusing. It means I'm going to need to implement parsing of the torrents/torrentm keys in ?list=1, which I'm not too keen on doing (though it's also on the todo). *sigh*

The "+" link I don't actually like very much, but I'm trying to avoid any use of images. It's been at the corner of my mind the fact that it may be problematic being so small, and in such a difficult-to-click location. I'll see what I can do about it.

As for the ETA... I'm not sure. Last time I tested the ETA parsing algorithm, it seemed pretty accurate to me. I suppose I might've broken it somewhere along the way -- I'll have a peek at the code when I find some time.

Thanks for the feedback

Edit: Sure enough, I did break the ETA calculation. Whoops! I guess blindly attempting to generalize code without thinking isn't such a hot idea Fixed for the next build.

Edit: Hm, I'm wondering if I should even bother having a "+" link. Would it be better if I just changed the torrent name into a link that does the same thing as the "+" link currently does?

[thelittlefire]

I think a clickable name is both easier to click as well as intuitive

Also for information overload, I would agree with all but two of Lord Alderaan's order, switching Availability and Peers/Seeds #

[timg440]

my eta is not showing on my phone just shows infinity sign. any ideas

[Ultima]

As you'll notice by reading the previous 3 posts, it's been reported/acknowledged. I broke the conversion function somewhere in the last build.

At any rate, I've updated the first with an update (and fix). This should have been released last Friday, but I was hoping to find more time to implement a few more things, so I delayed it. Of course, I never did find the time to work on it over the weekend, so I'll release this before it sits around for too long doing nothing (I won't have time probably for the next few weeks -- finals and all). Because of that, right now, there's no visual feedback when you perform an action on a torrent (start, stop, remove, etc), so currently, the only way to know whether the action went through is to reload the list.

(The screenshot in first page no longer fully reflects what information is actually shown in the torrent list, but I can't be bothered to update it at the moment )

[poncho]

I've just installed and tested it with iPhone 2.2 Safari.

I miss sorting by the date when torrents were added.

Hi All... I have Utorrent running under WHS as a service for a while and it works flawlessly. WebUI is accessible internally as well as remotely. I have tried multiple mobile UI for Utorrent (...../gui/iphone/i.html by David Corska as well as the miniUI here by Ultima). In both cases, after being presented by Uname/password authentication, I just get a blank webpage...I have been pulling my hair out on this one... Any help or ideas?

Thanks,

TA

[Ultima]

Edit webui.zip correctly? You're supposed to place the extracted files in their own directory within webui.zip, and access the respective files directly as explained in the first post.

[lapsed]

Works like a charm using Opera 9.5 on my HTC Touch HD, nice one.

[g33kd00d]

I'm attempting to get this working on my Blackberry Bold. I've had the WebUI for a while running through stunnel for a secure connection, and I recently stumbled on this post when I checked for a new WebUI version. I'm running uTorrent 1.8.1. I updated to the WebUI 0.361 along with this MiniUI (12/8/08). When using the Bold browser, it repeatedly asks for user/pass and then gives me a 401 unauthorized error. The MiniUI works on my laptop in firefox and on the Bold in Opera Mini. I'd like to use it in the Blackberry browser so I can utilize copy and paste.

[Ultima]

HTTP Error 401 means you're entering the wrong password. It's not really something to do with MiniUI itself.

Beyond that, though, be sure to keep in mind the fact that Blackberry Browser doesn't seem to accept GZIPped content. As such, you'll need to extract the .gz files and replace the .gz files in webui.zip.

[g33kd00d]

Yeah, I figured it was a password issue, but that still doesn't make sense because I know I'm entering the correct password. I have to re-enter over and over until I get that error. I fire up Opera Mini and it takes the password on the first try. I made sure to extract and replace all the GZipped files in the webui.zip. I'm kind of dumbfounded on this issue.

[Ultima]

Might be the way the BlackBerry Browser takes password as input. Make sure you have capitalization and all correct. Other than that, I'm not really sure what to say. I tested MiniUI on a BlackBerry 9000 (Bold) simulator without any issue :/

[Greeny]

good job
