samantha.morpaw Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I'm using a galaxy tablet and I can't seem to be able to get the movies I've downloaded to play on my device once the download has finished. Everything else about this app works great, I have no problems using the remote app to add torrents, I love the fact that all I have to do is go to the regular torrent site I use, click download and I can choose to send it to uTorrent with the remote app. I just wish I could watch them! If there is something I've missed or am missing and need to download I would love some help/advise. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 You appear to be missing the fact that it's not downloading them to your device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samantha.morpaw Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 My apologies, after they've downloaded to the computer, i go into the remote app and choose the option to download to the device. Once it shows complete it wont play. It says failed to launch media player. I'm pretty good with this kind of stuff so i feel like im missing something.

SamePaul Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 DreadWingKnight appears to missing the fact, that not all people are stupid and sometimes worth to keep in mind features of the subject. Like downloading files from remote torrent to device itself 2 samantha.morpaw. what are symptoms of the problem? "Not able to play" is too unclear description. You don't know where to find them on device? You can find, but nothing happens when you try to play it? uTorrent says "failed to start viewer? Player opens, but says that format is not supported? My guess is that you're trying to play content that is not playable on your device. Note, that DivX/XviD codec and MKV container are not supported by default on some ROMs (branded and custom). Also not all H264 profiles supported on mobile devices. Maybe you've been lucky to fall on such content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I download to my device, out takes a split second, which, needless to say, is not enough time to transfer such files... And I cannot find then anywhere located on my device, nor can I find where I can change the directory where those files are transferred...,i will continue to try to figure this out, but any further assistance is much appreciated....

Baron Von Cornflake Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have the same problem. downloading to the phone from my torrent machine is failing. download stops after just a second, and nothing shows up in the torrent dir. Unless this can be fixed, this app will have no use for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzahel Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Downloads to the android app were disabled a few weeks ago without notifying the app or users. This was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma7337 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Do they plan on turning this back on?It's the best feature to this app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo_987 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Setup an FTP server on your home computer to serve the files to a client on your phone. Check out andFTP in the market. It's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hello all. I'm BitTorrent's platform manager for Android and have produced the last few updates to uTorrent Remote. kzahel is 100% correct by saying: Downloads to the android app were disabled a few weeks ago without notifying the app or users. This was a mistake.First, let me apologize for the outage and for not keeping you in the loop. This was definitely not intentional. It took a while for me to realize that the reports were pointing to a new and real problem, and even longer to figure out what was wrong, what needed to be done, and then to get the right people to make that happen.The problem in retrospect was a predictable consequence of complex changes that are happening in relation to the interaction of several other products, and this one slipped through the cracks when it definitely should not have. I take the responsibility for not catching on much sooner to the fact that we'd broken something.The good news is that the needed back-end changes have now been made and the download-to-device functionality for uTorrent Remote should now be restored. My own testing shows that this is indeed the case though I have also seen a lot of spurious errors and log-outs at the same time. I am told that these issues should abate as soon as our servers stabilize due to this change and the many others that are part of the sort of dynamic infrastructure needed to support rapid innovation. I trust that these intermittent problems will abate soon and that you will be able to count on device downloads again. If not, please let us know here or through the Android Market.So thanks for all of your patience, problem reports, and for helping each other. Please keep it all coming. We may not always show it but we definitely always appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifaylou Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hey! I am using an LG Optimus 2x Speed and I still get the problem with the playback. Download seems to be instant, but it doesn't actually download the file to my remote device and I also get the warning message "Failed to start viewer''. I read Melinda's message that it should be fixed by now (Oct 27 2011) but 7 months later the problem persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcs72 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I can't log in to my remote app. keeps saying the computer name or password is wrong. is there a way to reset these settings? i recently updated to the newer versions and was thinking something got messed up when i did. all functions were working perfectly a month ago.
