Setting up Tixati with DuckieTV
This is a step by step guide on how to set-up Tixati with DuckieTV. This guide is based on my installation on the Windows 10 platform, but this guide should hold true across other platforms (more or less).
Tixati 2.86 or newer. Get the latest version at the official download site here
DuckieTV 1.1.4 or newer. Get the latest version at the official download site here
Dtv Nightly. Get the latest version at the official download site here
Support for Tixati can be found at https://support.tixati.com/

You are connected!
If all went well, you should see a green dot next to the DuckieTV Tixati Icon on the left hand side and a Status: Connected to Tixati API on the right hand side.
Please note that being connected is not a guarantee that everything is operational. Some clients have further validation that only occurs during submissions of commands and requests for results.
- Did you get the username or password on the DuckieTV Tixati Integration panel wrong? When you press the Test and Save button, and the test fails, DuckieTV does not save the username and password (or any other fields), so when you try again, you will need to enter both the new username and password (and any other fields you previously changed) again.
- If you previously tried a connection and failed, and subsequently followed this guide and are still not connected, first try clicking on the DuckieTV Tixati icon on the left. This will retry the connection attempt.
- If the connection is still not established, try closing both Tixati and DuckieTV and starting them up again. Then click on the DuckieTV Tixati icon to try establishing a connection.
- Still not connected? See if you can connect and login to the Tixati WEBUI directly via your Browser. for example,
at the address box paste
http://localhost:8888and press enter.You should get the Login challenge followed by the Tixati torrent page if successful.
If this does not work then you know the problem is with your Tixati setup or with some system setup, such as firewall or antivirus or network or something.
- Could your local firewall or security app or router be blocking Dtv from accessing the inbound/outbound Tixati port? Do you need to add a permission rule?
- Check the DuckieTV console log for errors, by pressing the F12 key (on Windows and Linux) or Cmd-Alt-I (OSX) to open the development tools page, and clicking on the console tab to view the log.
