(i)Phone interface?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

Have you ever considered creating a separate iPhone or other phone
interface? To detect it you can do something like:

< ?php
$browser = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPhone");
if ($browser == true)  { echo 'Code You Want To Execute'; }
?>

There hasn't been a real rtorrent gui for phones, except for TorrenTouch,
which never worked.

This might be interesting on getting attention to the ruTorrent project.

Regards,

Dennis

I haven't such device. As result - you haven't interface :)))

You can use http://www.testiphone.com/ to emulate the iPhone. You just need to 
change
your useragent string which you can easily do in firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59

The settings for the iPhone are: Description: iPhone, User Agent: Mozilla/5.0
(iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en), App Name: AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like 
Gecko),
App Version: Version/3.0, Platform: Mobile/1A542a Safari/419.3.

Maybe you'd reconsider? I can help you test and develop if necessary.

Thanks,

Dennis

Hm... may be... 
1) If you have real device - try to use ruTorrent on it when categories and 
details
is turned off (for do this - press help button in ruTorrent menu, after that 
click on
"Toggle details" and "Toggle categories"). Is all OK with performance?
2) Which thing is used in this device instead context menu?

Hey novik65,

1: ruTorrent works fine on it, be it a bit slow on loading all the javascript.
Disabling details and categories helps on improving readability but still needs 
zooming.

2: The main problem is that the iPhone basically only emulates the left mouse 
button,
so using the context menu by default is impossible. It could be that you change 
a bit
of the behavior by showing control buttons when clicking on a torrent.

You might want to take a look at the ebook "iPhone and iPod touch Programming
Handling Touch Interactions and Events for Mobile Safari":
http://media.wiley.com/assets/1327/11/Wrox_Blox_Sample.pdf

As a bonus I've attached my impression of what ruTorrent should kind of look 
like.
As framework you could use iui: http://code.google.com/p/iui/
Demo: http://iui-js.appspot.com/samples/music/music.html#_home

I hope you would like to reconsider the WontFix status :)

Thanks!

Dennis

I don't know if there is any special torrent software out there for the iPhone, 
but
for my G1 (android), I use (well, I just found it because of this post actually)
TransDroid [http://code.google.com/p/transdroid/].

It's a pretty slick mobile interface...not as nice as ruTorrent, but as an app, 
it
does a very nice job....all it does is tap into the same rtorrent settings that
rutorrent uses.

If you click on the link I attached, you can see plenty of screenshots & stuff.

As result - accepted, but not as a subject of development in the nearest future.

для uTorrent есть вот такая веб-морда

можно
адаптировать для работы rtorrent? ) было бы 
замечательно )

Разборки насчет нарушения (с) Bittorent Inc уже 
имели место быть. Устраивать еще одну
серию на предмет "попилить незнамо чью 
веб-морду под незнамо какой лицензией" мне 
не
хочется. Поэтому к/л адаптаций всяко не 
будет. Если речь о версии для КПК - то,
возможно, когда-нибудь займусь, если Вы не 
заметили - у тикета стоит статус
"Accepted". Но не в ближайшем будущем.

I think this would make an excelent bounty item.  If all the people who have 
smart 
phones get together and throw in 5-10 dollars each, it would help greatly 
(perfect 
example, the low bandwidth work which was just done, this was the result of a 
100 
dollar bounty, and it decreased bandwidth down to 1/10th of what it is WITHOUT 
the 
plugin)

If you're using a Nexus One, I'd recommend TransDroid:
http://code.google.com/p/transdroid
Also, I wouldnt mind chipping in, as long as it produces a decent interface for
mobile, specifically the iphone. But we can make separate templates I guess.

aaaw I'd love an iPhone friendly interface!

Original comment by olsen...@gmail.com on 28 May 2010 at 9:43

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I second that. A Iphone interface / app would set rutorrent really far ahead of 
everything out there.

an app will never come because of Apple's stright policy on torrents being 
illegal (......!) Transdroid is however available for Android.

Original comment by mikkr...@gmail.com on 18 Jun 2010 at 4:17

an App might not ever come but rutorrent is designed to run from the web.

All that is needed is a web based front end which is optimized for a small 
touch screen display.

There is no reason this can't be done eventually, though people who want it 
should start putting up money to fund the development if they truly want to see 
it sooner rather than later.

So how's it going?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yeah, Google Voice made a great web front end when Apple wouldn't let them 
release their ap on the store and I agree, Apple would never OK this although 
it's a bit rich considering they let iTunes copy non drm protected content to 
your device.

Ipad compatibility would be nice... As mentioned before, context menus and 
scrolling don't work.

Here's a standalone webinterface for rtorrent:

Android users should go the transdroid route. Does not work with rtorrent 
rev:1148, though.

Original comment by thomwigg...@gmail.com on 4 Oct 2010 at 4:39

[GoogleCodeExporter]

r1130 works with both Transdroid and ruTorrent. Though, recent revisions of 
rTorrent recently fixed some redirects to depreciated commands which should 
restore ruTorrent compatibility.

scrolling works in frames, you just have to scroll with two fingers at the same 
time

Since upgrading to rutorrent v3.3. The iPhone can't load the webui as nice as 
previous. Thewebui loads automatically to iPhones resolution. Unlike previous 
which can load at higher res and allow me to zOom in and out. The added feature 
of right click in form of long single tap is welcomed. I tried multiple web 
browsers on iPhone like safari, atomic web, and opera mini. I tried toggling 
categories,details, and menu, improved slightly but still can't do much. 
Particularly if I open rss manager, the dialogue is bigger than the resolution 
and I cannot zoom out to accept or cancel that dialogue. Don't really know what 
to do except to post here. Please help?!?

1) Now ruTorrent is not intended for work with something like iPhone. 
2) If you want to add zoom - try to remove line 

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; height=device-height; 
initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; minimum-scale=1.0;" />

in the file index.html.
