[Error] Torrent clients -Libtorrent

[tiku100]

Hello everyone!

First of all, thanks so much, koying, for your work. I've been using SPMC for the past 3 weeks since I finally bought a Xiaomi Mi box 3. It runs way much smoother than the official Kodi :)

However, I have encounterd an issue that is really frustating me (mostly because I am used to send magnet links form my computer to SPMC/Kodi).

I've tried a lot of torrent clients (KMediaTorrent, XMBCTorrent, Torrenter, YATP, etc) and none of them are working. The error seems to come from the libtorrent library. First of all I thought the error could be related to Python, but i tried SPMC 17a8 with no luck.

The picture attached seems to show the source of the problem, as I previously said: the libtorrent library for Android.

Do you know how can we move forward on solving this matter?

Many thanks in advance!

Where/How is "python-libtorrent" installed? Log welcome

And how do you build/install libtorrent for Android in the first place...

Hello koying!

First of all, thanks for your answers (and, btw, sorry for my English. I'm trying my best) :)

I guess I'm making a lot of mistakes with this issue... Let's begin:

Firstly, I simply installed several of the torrent clients I mentioned previously (KmediaTorrent, XMBCTorrent, Torrenter, etc) and, as usual, they automatically installed its dependencies. Then, when I realized that none of them were working, I began to investigate and discovered the libtorrent error (when trying to execute python-libtorrent from My Addons list) and found on the Internet that the library is ¿different? when talking about Android TV... but I was never able to find the right one for the Mi Box :(

I tested many libtorrent versions (from 0.6.x to 1.1.1x via zip files) and nothing happened, the error was still appearing... So I decided to wrote here in order to get som answers trying to bother as little as possible...

If you want, of course I can attach a log file (do you need the log being generated with the standard Kodi/SPMC log addon, or do you prefer another way? Should I try to replicate the error first of all?

Thanks so much for all, koying (and thanks for your patiente).

Hello again, koying!

I've tried to upload mi log file with the usual add-on and it returned an error, so I directly have navigate to .spmc/temp and pasted my log file on pastebin :)

Seeing more carefully the log, I also see a torrent2http error. BTW, the error has been replicated with a random magnet link... should I edit the media file name? If I have to, I will edit the file quickly, of course :)

Thanks again, koyig :)

Hello again!

I was curious and, after reading and reading, I decided to test this issue on the official Kodi 17.4 for Android (I was reluctant to install it due to hardware acceleration and more). To my surprise, the python-libtorrent import worked and all the problems with the torrent client dissapeared: they all run without a problem and I can even send magnet links from my PC to the Mi box with Kodi.

In order to test more scenarios, I deleted the two SPMCs (16.7.1 and 17.4a8) on my Mi Box and made a clean installation of SPMC 16.6.0... libtorrent import failed again (tested with the same version that worked with Kodi 17.4: python-libtorrent 1.1.1b)

Hope this helps :)
