Control/Edit RSS feeds from the Web UI

[jdavis3980]

I have qbittorrent running on OpenSUSE 12.2 that I used to set up RSS feeds to automatically download torrents and I used this box as a media server for my home. I can adjust pretty much everything through an ssh session or through the web ui. It would be nice to be able to control the RSS feeds for qbittorrent without having to ssh -Y into the box and pull over the gui and do the edits. Ideally I want to use the web ui from my iPAD and adjust the RSS feeds, can this feature be added to the web ui?
Thanks

+1 Please add RSS capabilities to qbittorrent-nox so that it has feature parity with qBittorrent with X windows.

@buinsky I have seen that you have worked in the web interface. It seems that this feature can be useful.

That missing feature is possibly a deal breaker for people migrating from uTorrent. Everything else is great and even better.

Thank you and keep the good work :)

Looking through the code, it looks like the api is already built, just the ui needs to be written? https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/blob/master/src/webui/api/rsscontroller.cpp

I don't know a ton of c++ but I do know js and can maybe put something together

[AndersMalmgren]

@ljmerza you can checkout my branch it has support

Planning on a pull request to get rss webui support in master?

@AndersMalmgren Can you open a pull request to merge your changes into this repo?

[AndersMalmgren]

@AndersMalmgren Can you open a pull request to merge your changes into this repo?

I could but I'm not sure the team want this pulled, it doesnt work like rest of the UI and I didn't do a too great design job on the code just wanted something quick to work for my own use :)

[Piocas]

@AndersMalmgren Can you open a pull request to merge your changes into this repo?

I support that motion.
I have no knowledge in programming, (only copy and paste) and when I try to use the alternative WUI, it always breaks and I must return from scratch.
If this becomes the WUI by default, people like me can take advantage of this RSS feature.

There's no need to merge code and wait for releases for WebUI functionality (if WebAPI wasn't modified) since altWebUI was implemented. Use existing tools to get @AndersMalmgren or other devs changes to the WebUI, configure official qBt and you're ready to go.

ie: to download just part of a source tree from github, use https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit
Specifically for updating @AndersMalmgren RSS mods -> https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https:%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FAndersMalmgren%2FqBittorrent%2Ftree%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2Fwebui%2Fwww and then expand the zip on some folder and use it as you altWebUI following instructions at https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Alternate-WebUI-usage

I do not know what I'm doing wrong.

the link is what I get in Chrome when I made the changes to the WebUI settings

and this other one my www folder with icons
https://mega.nz/#!AtoFFKhJ!q8RiQQdV2oYBHMhbcqnpmiUZ3cQFSKYltUiDRZCGY0E

this is my WebUI config

[Piocas]

Can anyone help me?

@Piocas This issue thread is for discussing RSS management in Web UI. Please open a new issue if you believe that's a bug or go to the official qBittorrent forum for configuration help.

[gfairchild]

This would be a wonderful feature to have.

Sad to see 7 years gone by and this hasn't been implemented. Kinda crazy actually.

This did work for me, although getting the pathing right threw me for a little loop at first. In any case, since this has already been implemented, how can I (or anybody) help to merge these changes upstream?

[pro4tlzz]

just to confirm, only the control / edit function is unavailable in the UI? Do the RSS feeds still trigger downloads?

[ljcbaby]

+1 Please add RSS capabilities to qbittorrent-nox so that it has feature parity with qBittorrent with X windows.

[thetrompf]

qbittorrent-nox has RSS capabilities, it's the web front-end that doesn't provide any UI for it.

[ljcbaby]

So now you need an interface to manage it.

[FranciscoPombal]

So now you need an interface to manage it.

You can already control it with HTTP requests to the WebAPI. That's what the WebUI does under the hood. It's just a bunch of buttons that make requests.

So until the WebUI is updated to provide a graphical way of doing that, you can always just make requests with a script or something.

[WolfganP]

Or literally install it yourself #453 (comment)

That's why the alt WebUI (and recently the Qt UI templates' stuff) was implemented, to allow the user customize UI functionality without the need to touch the core.
Just remember that any changes in the core code means some (community, non paid) dev needs to maintain it forever...

[FranciscoPombal]

I'm tempted to close this issue now for the following reasons:

• Conversation has gone on for too long and too off-topic. Even though some good things came of that, this ticket is supposed to be about RSS support in the official WebUI. It's a simple and clear feature request, not the place for a lot of the things that are here.
• There are a lot of +1 / me too/ pleeeeease / i've waited 58 years instead of contributing in any way whatsoever to the project besides this disrespectful and ungrateful comment, why is this not done yet? posts cluttering the whole conversation.
• Since the he requested functionality is now available via alternate WebUIs, the only reasonable thing left unaddressed is to support this in the official one.

When I close this one, I'll open two new threads:

• One to track the implementation of this feature in the main WebUI (and to focus exclusively on that). No need for +1 comments if you just want to say "yeah, I want this too", just use reactions.
• One called "Alternate WebUI development discussion" or similar for people to freely discuss alternate WebUI development in a centralized place.

If anyone has additional concerns, let me know.

[FranciscoPombal]

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Development discussion thread is up: #12354.
Follow-up feature request is up as well at #12355. Please don't spam it, use reactions if you just want to "+1" it.
