I'm looking for a good solution for my seedbox, and am really struggling to find the ideal option.

TuxPaper commented on Aug 12, 2019

It's unlikely the Client UI will ever be able to do this. However, there are three alternatives:

flatline-studios commented on Aug 12, 2019

Ahh okay. It's just that using the BiglyBT options menu there are sooooooo many options. Altering them through a config file would be nigh-on impossible for me to do. I guess it was too much to hope for that the GUI could simply switch which daemon it was talking to.

parg commented on Aug 12, 2019

Actually you can connect BiglyBTs together using the View->BiglyBT Remote panel although features are limited! Could be improved a little but obviously nothing like a full UI

parg commented on Aug 13, 2019

How do you currently access your remote BiglyBT? Are you running it headless with the console UI? If you have remote-desktop style access then aren't some of those things you want to configure one-off things rather than stuff you'd be regularly tweaking?

flatline-studios commented on Aug 13, 2019

Headless through the console UI on a thin client I've re-purposed as a server (it's actually quite good, and was a steal at £24).

parg commented on Aug 13, 2019

Did you try the View->BiglyBT Web Remote on your local machine and connect using that to the remote one? I know the commands there are currently limited ('status', 'torrents', 'close', 'restart', 'update-check', 'update-apply' ) but that could be extended.

I'm getting an error on the TV I want to control remotely during pairing, saying: " Error Connecting Not Authorized. It's possible that the remote client is in View-Only mode."

TuxPaper commented on May 4, 2019

If I'm reading this correctly, you are trying to connect to your Win10 machine from Android TV?

rigadoog commented on May 5, 2019

I got it to work from my phone to the TV since it only gave me a QR code, which is fine, I was trying to do it backwards before.

TuxPaper commented on Dec 1, 2018

hmm, nothing apparent has changed since the last version for remote access, but a few libraries were upgraded so something new could be affecting you. Thanks for mentioning the webui is working, that's helpful. A few questions:

TuxPaper commented on Dec 1, 2018

Android 9 has some changes to DNS access, so if you were trying to connect via a DNS name instead of an ip address, there's a chance I have a bug there.

TuxPaper commented on Dec 1, 2018

Good news! I found the issue and it's related to Android 9 (Pie). Bad news is there is no workaround (other than using webui) you can do in the current BiglyBT version. I'll be releasing a fix to Google Play later today, although it takes up to 6 hours after that before everyone gets the update, so be patient.

Testing the app (in contrast to my usual Vuze/Transmission set-up), and it is looking good! I just have one comment and one question:

TuxPaper commented on Aug 12, 2017

The installers from a week ago missed migrating the %appdata%\Azureus\plugins\rssfeed\rssfeed.options files, but the latest installers should have gotten that one. Can you check the %appdata%\Azureus\plugins\rssfeed\ to see if there's any other config-looking files there (like a .config or a .dat). Maybe we are still missing one to migrate.

mattsigal commented on Aug 13, 2017

Interesting! I had installed the app yesterday, using the most recent installer from the website. This was on Mac OS. I believe Vuze was set-up for multi-user support on my computer, so instead of being where you mentioned above, the config files are all stored in /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Vuze/plugins/rssfeed

This may be common knowledge, but when using Chromecast to the Shield, the Shield remote works to play, pause and rewind and fast forward

I found this by accident as I usually don't cast to the TV, and grabbed the remote out of habit to pause something, and it worked!

Changing the Default Launcher on NVIDIA Shield?

Hello all! I woke up this morning to my shield displaying ads across the top half of the home screen - Really offputting and thinking about throwing the device in the bin...
