qBittorrent-git (4.2.0alpha) Login failure

[aTosser]

I am testing out qbittorrent-git and they have changed the API again. I get login failures now in electorrent. I can still log in fine at the webUI so.
Just a heads up.

Thank you for informing about this. It looks like we have to update qbittorent yet again. Keeping backwards compatibility will be harder and harder though. For now use an older version of qbittorrent

@tympanix Heads up it seems (according to the github milestones for qbittorrent) that they are planning to relese 4.2.0 in the next week-ish... May be time to take a poke at this.

The /api/v2/ prefix that you are aware of is becoming the default and the legacy API is going to be dropped from 4.2.0+

The login method has been moved to /api/v2/auth/login

It also seems some methods have been changed some, I noticed while browsing the code deletePerm no longer exists and deleteFiles is now a parameter passed to delete so there may be a couple of hiccups along the way.

Let me know if you need some testing, we can sit down and hammer it out if you have the time.

Weeeeeee....

More and more repos and channels are providing qBittorrent v4.2.0 now and due to the above, Electorrent is not usable as from this version. Could you please look at the upgrade?

[tympanix]

An upgrade is surely necessary. Sadly, I don't have the resources to implement this feature as of right now. 😢 This will however be my top priority when I can allocate time for this project.

[AnanyaKirti]

could you tell me what needs to be done? Maybe I can help

[tympanix]

@AnanyaKirti we need an updated implementation of node-qbittorrent which is a dependency of Electorrent. Backwards compatibility with older versions would be desirable.

@tympanix - see my quick patch https://github.com/icex/node-qbittorrent/commit/83eab5184be72e8c5eb690d780b15fcaa2b25b03

No backward compatibility, all I could do in a few hours(I have zero experience in Angular and Electron, sorry).

[aTosser]

honestly with icex's patch we could just rename node-qbittorrent to node-legacy-qbittorrent and either make a new menu entry or some conditional voodoo for auto-detection.
