The attached image says it all. It’s been absolute dogshit as a mobile web interface for as long as I can remember, which is especially unfortunate given that it is great on traditional browsers. Thoughts? Suggestions? I’ve seen a couple of possible apps, but would appreciate any recommendations.
Edit Some additional context: this is a screenshot of my seedbox, presently serving a large number of apparently invisible torrents
additional edit Rebooting solved the issue shown in the image (no visible torrents), but I’d still appreciate any advice on a good mobile solution. I already use transdrone but it’s missing a ton of features.
Use transdroid or transdrone. Make sure you set up http RPC on the server and enter your RPC path when selecting “rtorrent” while adding a custom server.
See this tutorial: https://bytesized-hosting.com/pages/transdroid
The SCGI path will be /rutorrent/plugins/httprpc/action.php
You may need a plugin or config change depending on what installer/package you used on your system.
rutorrent doesn’t seem very intuitive, which is why I use transmission-daemon on my seedbox. In my experience transmission tends to just work.
How is Transmission’s mobile web interface? I’m on iOS so apps are a no go. If I’m able to update labels and file locations via my phone, it might convince me to switch.
Labels and file locations can’t be changed on the native transmission webui from what I could tell… RPC supports it, but no luck on the webui… But I did come across this! https://flood.js.org
Flood is an alternative webui compatible with rtorrent. It says it’s “touch ready”. I have not tried it, but it might be exactly what you’re after.
I’ve used flood for transmission for years now and it works reasonably good on mobile. I know for sure that you can upload .torrent files to it anyways, although the label system has been weird in the past so I’m not sure about that
Awesome, thanks for sharing this, Ill give it a whirl!
