Exception during response parsing - Failing to connect to Qbittorrent.

[swannie-eire]

So currently i am running Qbittorrent 4.3.8 but when I start the seedcross it seems to fail to connect to qbittorrent from the logs.

The credentials im using are correct and i logged into the container and confirmed it can reach qbittorrent on the required port.

these are the logs i am getting from the seedcross container.

confirmed connection from the container.

It seems a qbittorrentapi.exceptions.APIError, Seedcross use this python package to connect qBittorrent client and retrieve torrent info.
Can you please try the sample code to test your qb 4.3.8 client:

1. install the lib

pip install qbittorrent-api

2. edit a testqb.py file like this, modify the host, port, username, password

import qbittorrentapi

qbt_client = qbittorrentapi.Client(
    host='localhost',
    port=8080,
    username='admin',
    password='adminadmin',
)

for torrent in qbt_client.torrents_info():
    print(f'{torrent.hash[-6:]}: {torrent.name} ({torrent.state})')

3. run the code, and see what happen.

python testqb.py

Thanks for the prompt response. That script worked as expected.

I span up another qbittorrent 4.3.8 and seedcross worked as expected for that with the same settings. The only difference between the 2 qbits was the one it does not work with has over 600 torrents in the client and the other has just a handfull.

Any other suggestions?

[ccf-2012]

seedcross has reported success for 20k+ torrent in qbittorrent, so maybe some issues to the specific torrent name(blind guess).
I found qbittorrent-api update recently, and supports up to qBittorrent v4.4.0

so I build a new version with all updated libraries and some new functions of dev branch.
Please try the new docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/ccf2012/seedcross

[swannie-eire]

updating to the latest docker image appears to have solved it.

Thank you.
