How i can add new torrent from magnet link?

How i can add new torrent using the magnet link from shell command or php cli?

Try using REST API - POST /torrents PHP must have an HTTP client, so you can send the request that way. Otherwise you could use something like curl from the shell.

Hello, i try to send the POST through html, using JSON, like that code:

function show_alert() { alert("Sending Request"); var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open(form.method, form.action, true); xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8'); var j = { "link":"magnet:?xt=urn:btih:hash", }; xhr.send(JSON.stringify(j)); }

but i got the error page;

" TypeError: path must be a string or Buffer at TypeError (native) at Object.fs.readFile (fs.js:305:11) at readTorrent (/usr/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/node_modules/read-torrent/index.js:54:8) at EventEmitter.add (/usr/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/server/store.js:36:5) at /usr/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/server/index.js:69:9 at callbacks (/usr/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:164:37) at param (/usr/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:138:11) at pass (/usr/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:145:5) at Router._dispatch (/usr/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:173:5) at Object.router (/usr/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:33:10)"

so please help me understand how to send it the magnet link data, or using shell or php-cli or simple post from input box.. Thanks

Judging by the stacktrace it's not able to parse the magnet link. Are you sure it's valid? If you can debug locally try adding a console log here to see what the value of req.body.link is: https://github.com/asapach/peerflix-server/blob/733b6c22b1dc30de7b15065ba0aa4fa1ba86de5a/server/index.js#L69

exaple i try post like this, but nothing, what is the syntax of this magnet.. <?php

$data = array( 'link' => 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:hash_info' );

$json = json_encode($data);

$client = new Zend_Http_Client($uri); $client->setRawData($json, 'application/json')->request('POST');

?>

I've tried your original example and it worked fine for me:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', 'http://localhost:9000/torrents', true);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8');
var j = {
    "link":"magnet:?xt=urn:btih:a7883604bd5fa7b02f3766a24f4e4f805aa436b3",
};
xhr.send(JSON.stringify(j));

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with PHP to help you with your http client.

I can do it in html page too, sending it with input box and function, i try, but it don't work..., i don't have some experience with JSON, probably i call it in wrong way :( Really idk..

[MindOnFire93]

Fine it finally work, i wrong to call the function, Thanks you a lot :)..

[asapach]

No problem.

Antoher question, the download and upload of peer-flix can be limited, I MEAN THE SEED AND LEECH of any file, like utorrent, speed limit to max (number)? And if how to config this? Maybe if you send me the configuration syntax in one url, I would be grateful to you. Thanks, Mind

[asapach]

There's no way to throttle the speed, unfortunately. The only things you can configure are (https://github.com/mafintosh/torrent-stream#full-api): connections and uploads. You can set them using the configuration file

Thank you so much. Have a nice day :)
