| Post subject: | torrentocracy |
There was an article on slashdot about this program torrentocracy, it appears its a MythtTV plugin for downloading torrents. Has anyone tried this out yet? I'm in the process of installing it right now. I will let you all know my progress with this new plugin |

Well I got this installed, the install instructions didn't work to well, and it looks like the guy who made this doesn't have KnoppMyth, because some of the paths are wrong. Here is what I did to get it to install. Downlaod the source package from http://torrentocracy.com/files/torrento ... -0.0.4.tgz and uncompress (tar zxvf torrentocracy-0.0.4.tgz) First off, you have to set an environtment variable, because it is not set already, to do this type export QTDIR='/usr/share/qt3' 1. qmake torrentocracy.pro 2. make 3. make install 4. apt-get instal bittorrent 5. Edit the bittorrent file in the main dir, and make sure that bt_progpath="/usr/bin" has that path, i believe orig its /usr/local/bin 6. cp bittorrent /etc/init.d 7. update-rc.d bittorrent defaults 8. /etc/init.d/bittorrent start 9. now when you run make install, it installs the plug-in to /usr/local/share/mythtv, but all the mythtv files appear to be in /usr/share/mythtv, so i moved them over: cp -r /usr/local/share/mythtv/torrentocracy/ /usr/share/mythtv/ cp -r /usr/local/share/mythtv/i18n/torrentocracy_* /usr/share/mythtv/i18n/ cp -r /usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/default/torrentocracy-* /usr/share/mythtv/themes/default cp /usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/libtorrentocracy.so /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins 10. Once that is done, you need to modify mainmenu.xml and main_settings.xml to add the menus(they can be found in /usr/share/mythtv), here is what to put in: mainmenu.xml <button> <type>Torrentocracy</type> <text>Torrentocracy</text> <action>PLUGIN torrentocracy</action> <depends>torrentocracy</depends> </button> main_settings.xml <button> <type>Torrentocracy</type> <text>Torrentocracy</text> <action>CONFIGPLUGIN torrentocracy</action> <depends>torrentocracy</depends> </button> ** NOTE: You can change the type and text fields if Torrentocracy is too long After you have made those modifications, restart your mythfrontend, goto setup, and setup the Torrentocracy plugin. The icons don't appear, not sure why, maybe someone can look into that. I haven't actually messed with the program much right now, but I plan to when I get home from work. |

In step 9 I have you move some files over, I was looking a little more at the files for the install, in the torrentocracy folder, you will see a settings.pro file. Open that in your favorite editor, and you should see these lines: PREFIX = /usr/local # FOR Debian #PREFIX = /usr Move the # from the second Prefix line, and put it infront of prefix on the top, then you can skip step 9 from my previous directions |

Yeah thanks turkish... i will try it when i get to my myth box.. This is an interesting plugin. Issac and other dont want this plugin released because they think it encourages p2p stealing.. I feel that its just a tool, and the person using it will make it great or crap. There is alot of good torrents out there... Isnt knoppmyth released in torrent form?

I would love to get this working as it sounds like a pretty interesting plug in. So i was delighted to find your directions on installing. However i have had a few errors. after enter "/etc/init.d/bittorrent start" i get an error saying "cannot execute /usr/bin/btlaunchmany.py, exiting..." should that happen? also there is no settings.pro in my torrentocracy folder, perhaps because of the "/etc/init.d/bittorrent start" step not working? thanks for any advice, tim |

I read back through the directions, and I don't see settings.pro anywhere in there. |

The part about setting.pro i'm trying to figure out is in his second message, were he makes and amendment to step nine. |

well that part should be referring to files in the folder where you compiled from not the install folder, and making that change will eliminate the need to move the files like he does in step 9. |

I've managed to almost get torrentocracy working with Knoppmyth by following the directions at http://knoppmythwiki.homelinux.org/inde ... cracyHowto However it still doesn't work and I get the QTextBrowser error. I think it's due to the fact that Knoppmyth doesn't come with MythBrowser installed. The torrentocracy wiki says it must be installed. How the person who wrote up that wiki got it to work by following his steps, I have no idea. Is there anyone who's got this working yet? |

Quote: 5. Edit the bittorrent file in the main dir, and make sure that bt_progpath="/usr/bin" has that path, i believe orig its /usr/local/bin
This instruction is a little ambigous. What file is the "bittorrent file" ? Also, why would the "main dir" be /usr /local/bin? This could use a little bit more clarity. I don't mean to sound critical, I'm just trying to help. |

I was able to get the install to work and have updated the KnoppMythWiki howto http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... cracyHowto I combined the old instructions on the Wiki, the Torrentocracy install wiki and this thread and was able to get a full install. These changes are: 1) Added some instructions to step 7 as there are two Makefiles with hardcoded paths to the qt directories. 2) Inserted step 10 based on the intructions earlier in this thread.

OK, I've followed the updated instructions on the wiki, but can't start the torrent. When I press the "Start Torrent" button, nothing happens. I've installed Torrentocracy 0.0.11 Rick |

OK, I made sure that your mythtv user has permissions to /var/lib/torrentocracy (recursive) and it seems to be downloading! |
