Setting up Vuze with DuckieTV

This is a step by step guide on how to set-up Vuze Bittorrent with DuckieTV. This guide is based on my installation on the Windows 7 platform, but this guide should hold true across other platforms (more or less).

###Pre requisites:### Vuze Bittorrent 5.6.x.x or newer. Get the latest version at the official download site here

Vuze Web Remote 0.5.9 or newer. Installed using the Vuze Plugin manager, described below.

DuckieTV 1.1.2 or newer. Get the latest version at the official download site here

Once you have installed Vuze Bittorrent (I recommend using the customize option so you can choose to decline any of the additional giftware), you next need to install the Vuze Web Remote Plugin. So Start Vuze, and

###access the Vuze Plugin Manager.###

• Click on the Plugin menu entry and select the Installation Wizard

• Click on the Next button

• Scroll down until you find the Vuze Web Remote entry, click its check box to select it, and then press the Next button

• Click on the Install for All Users radio button, then click the Finish button.

• Press the Install button to load the plugin.

• And press the Restart Vuze Now button to complete the plugin integration.

Now we can ###access the Vuze Web Remote settings page.###

• Click on the Tools menu and select the Options entry

• Click on the Arrow next to the Plugins option to expand the list

• And scroll down to the Vuze Web Remote and click on that entry

• Click the Enable check box to activate the plugin

• then Scroll down and click on the Enable Password check box, and enter a Username and Password

• Click on the Save button

Start up DuckieTV and ###configure the DuckieTV Vuze Integration.###

• Start up DuckieTV and click on the Settings Icon

• And then click on the Torrent button

• Now click on the Vuze button

• And then click on the Reload DuckieTV to use Vuze button
  Note: as of DuckieTV version 1.1.4 this is no longer neccessary
  

• Next, click on the Vuze Integration button

• Enter the same Username and Password that you used on the Vuze HTML Web UI settings page

• if you are running Vuze on a different computer than DuckieTV then enter its ip address in the Address box

• Now click on the Test and Save button

• You are connected!

If all went well, you should see a green dot next the the DuckieTV Vuze Icon on the left hand side.

###Problems?###

• Did you get the username or password on the DuckieTV Vuze 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 Vuze icon on the left. This will retry the connection attempt.
• If the connection is still not established, try closing both Vuze and DuckieTV and starting them up again. Then click on the DuckieTV Vuze icon to try establishing a connection.
• Still not connected? If you are using DuckieTV as a Chrome Browser Extension, or as a Nightly Standalone, then you can 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. and feel free to raise a ticket on GitHub here, or submit a post on Reddit here
