Setting up tTorrent with DuckieTV
This is a step by step guide on how to set-up tTorrent with DuckieTV.
This guide is based on my installation of tTorrentLite on my emulated android RemixOS platform, connected to DuckieTV on my Windows 7 platform, but it should hold true across other platforms (more or less).
tTorrentLite 1.5.12 or newer. Get the latest version at the Android Play store
OR
tTorrent Pro 1.5.12 or newer. Get the latest version at the Android Play store
DuckieTV 1.1.6 or newer. Get the latest version at the official download site here
Dtv Nightly. Get the latest version at the official download site here
Once you have installed tTorrentLite or tTorrent Pro, you will need to
-
Start up tTorrent and click on the Options Icon
-
Then click on the Setting menu
-
And then click on the Web Interface menu
-
Next, toggle the Web Interface switch on, and do the same to the Authentication switch
- SSL is currently not supported.
-
Now enter the Username and Password for your web Interface security login.
-
and use the back arrow to return to the main tTorrent page.
Once the program is configured, you need to start up DuckieTV and
-
Start up DuckieTV and click on the Settings Icon
-
And then click on the Torrent button
-
Now click on the tTorrent button
-
Next, click on the tTorrent Integration button
-
Enter the same Username and Password that you used on the tTorrent Web Interface settings page
-
if you are running tTorrent 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 tTorrent Icon on the left hand side and a Status: Connected to tTorrent 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 tTorrent Integration panel wrong? When you press the Test and Save button, and the test fails, DuckieTV does not save the Username or 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 tTorrent icon on the left. This will retry the connection attempt.
- If the connection is still not established, try closing both tTorrent and DuckieTV and starting them up again. Then click on the DuckieTV tTorrent icon to try establishing a connection.
- In the unlikely situation where you may be running multiple torrent clients on the same PC as DuckieTV, especially either BiglyBT or Vuze alongside Transmission, ensure you allocate unique WEBUI ports on each of the clients.
- Could your local firewall or security app or router be blocking Dtv from accessing the inbound/outbound tTorrent port? Do you need to add a permission rule?
- Still not connected? 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.
