When showing files and tracker the listview is shortened due to miscalculation of items' height.

trouble with semicolon in rss url

Hi
For some reason I am member of a site that uses ; in the query string, which results in qbittorrent controller truncated everything from that semi colon

site.con/rss?download;7;u=2305860;tp=0

When I add this as an rss feed I get an error that it couldn't download the feed and the url is changed to

site.com/rss?download

It probably works if I url encode the semi colons myself, but haven't tried it yet.

Dark theme

Calidude at qBittorrent forum suggested a dark theme

Auto detect qBittorrent server version

On the app settings, there is an field for choosing the qBittorrent server version to use. I realize that people tends to skip this step, so I'm going to implement an auto detect qBittorrent version function when changing the app settings and save it accordingly.

Glitch in tablet view

There is a glitch loading the app (if it was already open). It looks like that it tries to sync with the server and spinning circle/text persists. When going into the Recents screen and swipe the app away, it is fine when is restarted.

Filters for torrent list on qBittorrent 3.2.x

Deleting a Torrent File - Should ask for a confirmation if the admin would like to delete the data file along with the Torrent file

Currently while deleting a torrent file from the controller, it does not ask for a confirmation whether i would like to delete the data file along with the torrent file. Instead it simply deletes the torrent file from the qBitTorrent database leaving the downloaded file as it is. The Web-interface however has a tick-box in the confirmation dialogue box, which is unticked by default.
I think the controller should also provide this option.

Search bar at the top with a persistent search filter

• If i set a high Torrent refresh rate - let's say every 5 seconds
• And i search for a specific torrent file, it shows the results and then goes back to clearing the search filter and display everything, i am guessing that the refresh timer kicks in and kills the search.

Would be good to have a serach bar at the top with a persistent search filter. The torrent refresh rate should happen in the background, but should not clear the search filter

Are play-services a required/hard dependency?

This app was proposed for fdroid inclusion. FDroid is a "store"/repository that only includes free/libre/opensource software that got build from source. Since play-services is proprietary, we cannot build it. So, are play-services a required/hard dependency or can they easly be stripped without breaking the app?

Feature: Torrent completion notification

Like the name suggests. An option for a notification upon completion of a torrent would add to the "completeness" of the app. I say "option" because someone is going to go nuts when their screen on time goes from 5 hours to 4:55.

Feature: Easier access to priority controls

Hey,

Love the app. However, there is one small thing I feel the need to point out. On my phone, if you want to change the queue order (priority) of a torrent, it involves clicking on the name of a torrent, going to the overflow menu and then finding the Increase/Decrease priority button. You're then brought to the torrent list screen by the app and have to repeat the process.
Thing is, this becomes a hassle if you're running any borderline substantial number of torrents (imagine doing this ~15 times).

You obviously have UI concerns; so may I recommend the addition of "Move to Top / Bottom" buttons somewhere? That'll save you from adding Increase / Decrease priority buttons on the list screen (which IMHO, is more correct).

Other small things (I can create separate issues for these if you wish):

1. Shutdown qBittorrent from the app. qB is a desktop client so assuming I need the bandwidth for something else inside the house, I don't have to go through SSH / Web interface shenanigans.
2. That "Refreshing" message. Are you sure that's absolutely necessary?
3. Possibly an option to further reduce the Refresh Interval from 30s.

Thanks. :)

Simplify app settings

I realise that people get confused when having a lot of options to set in the app settings, therefore a way to overcome this is by showing just the basic parameters:

• IP or hostname
• Username
• Password

And the remaining options should be handle in another "advanced" window.

Feature: Reduce refresh interval

The reduce interval should have an option to be lower than 30s. Given the increments already present, how about something like an option for 2 / 5 seconds?

Related: The "refreshing" message should have an option to be disabled unless the manual refresh button is clicked on. This makes sense because if:
a) The refresh interval is small, it'll just be present on the screen all the time.
b) The refresh interval is large, it serves very little purpose because the implication is that someone is just staring at their phone / tablet screen waiting to get that little bit of data. Anyone who uses a large refresh interval will most likely end up using the manual refresh button when they fire up the app as it is.

Add priority to files in Torrent Details

In torrent details view, there should be a option to change file priority, so you can define what files to download first

Add offline push notification

Please, do create a way so if you are mentioned and you have no clients connected to the server, your phone (and/or other android device) receives a push notification, so you can open the app and read/reply, without killing your phone keeping the app open all day long

Unsafe HTTPS use

Running a security scan against the source code of this project has shown that the HTTPS used in this application has been manually overiden. Using HTTPS increases the security of credentials transmitted between the device and server as well as guaranteeing there is no middle-man attacker feeding malicious data to the user. Guides to properly implementing HTTPS can be found here: https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-ssl.html

/qBittorrentClient/src/com/lgallardo/qbittorrentclient/JSONParser.java:485: AllowAllHostnameVerifier used, this is not a secure connection
/qBittorrentClient/src/com/lgallardo/qbittorrentclient/JSONParser.java:485: Custom HostnameVerifier used; this is not safe for production use
/qBittorrentClient/src/com/lgallardo/qbittorrentclient/MySSLSocketFactory.java:35: Custom trust manager used. Remove from production

Please tag your new releases (2.1.0 & 2.2.0)

Please tag your latest releases, this helps F-Droid autodetect new releases of your software.
Thanks...

Wrong status for Alternative Speed Limits on startup

On startup, the last state saved in preferences is used. When torrents are refreshed it shows the current state, but It should ask for the current state using the API command at startup.

RSS pattern matching or regex engine

It could be awesome to have way of filter the content client side with some kind of pattern matching or a full blown regex engine, therefore the download automatically feature on the feed will become more useful.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error in some Android ROM

Problem:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v7.internal.view.menu.MenuBuilder
at android.support.v7.widget.ActionMenuView.getMenu(ActionMenuView.java:622)

Some Android ROMs (like qmobile Noir X25) raise this error when launching the app. It's a issue related to appcompat-v7 v21.0.0 and the way some devices import some classes as explained here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78377

Add prompt to send a magnet or torrent URL to a specific server.

David Devenport: One other thing that would be great is a prompt to send a magnet or torrent URL to a specific server. Right now if I click on either link it'll default to the last server viewed. It'd be nice for a prompt that basically said "which server should this go to?" Thanks for all your hard work.

Local and remote server options

Add local and remote server options, so it switch to local profile when at home wireless and switch to remote profile when not at home. I know we can make profiles and switch between but then we will lose notifications, and should always switch profiles
