Search plugins not found

[sledgehammer999]

After the release of v3.1.10 the search plugins aren't found by qbt. If you invoke the scripts from cmd using python they work. Not all users seem to experience this problem.

Some relevant comments in here: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/1951

My Search Engines disappeared too from "Search Plugins" box after I update to 3.1.1 version, as the search categories!

[sledgehammer999]

I update to 3.1.1 version

I suppose you mean 3.1.10. Because 3.1.1 is a different version.

Do you use Windows or Linux? (and which version)

[sandrocosta]

Sorry. I meant 3.1.10 I use Windows 7, 64 bit. I went back to version 3.1.8 (I haven't downloaded the 3.1.9!).

Sandro.

You can find all the versions here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qbittorrent/files/qbittorrent-win32/ (better use 3.1.9.2)

[sandrocosta]

Thank you. Are there any plans to fix the 3.1.10 version? Sandro.

It's marked for a possible v3.1.11. Otherwise for v3.2.0 I don't have an ETA though.

If it is not too difficult please correct import in legittorrents.py in nova3 import sgmllib -> import sgmllib3

[sledgehammer999]

import sgmllib -> import sgmllib3

Are you sure that that is correct? I am not a python programmer so I am asking you.

[DoumanAsh]

Python 3 has no module sgmllib. It is not seen because excpetions are ignored. If you'll check exceptions with python 3:

ImportError: No module named 'sgmllib'

Replace it with sgmllib3 and now legittorrents is fine As i can see in nova3 there is also sgmllib3.py so i guess this is replacement for removed sgmllib

[sledgehammer999]

That makes sense. I'll do it after I fix the main issue here.

[krader1961]

No, you cannot simply change that line to "import sgmllib3". That's because the name of the module is used to create a namespace for the constituents of the module. In this case you can either change the line to

import sgmllib3 as sgmllib

Or do the simple import without the "as" clause and replace the references to sgmllib.SGMLParser in .../nova3/engines/legittorrents.py to sgmllib3.SGMLParser.

Also, the sgmllib module isn't being actively maintained, has been deprecated for several years, and was dropped from the standard python library with the release of python3. It would be a good idea to switch to the standard html.parser module (or pretty much anything that isn't sgmllib).

[sledgehammer999]

Currently the team doesn't have any python dev. So I only try to do really basic maintenance stuff while looking at the online python docs.

If you have experience in python and time, any patches are welcome. (do git pull requests)

[DoumanAsh]

krader1961, Yes you just need to replace all sgmllib as sgmllib3 in code(work just fine) I guess i was need to be more clear...

sledgehammer999, Right now i'm playing with own search engine, once i will get a firm grip of how to do that i can help to rewrite existing plugins. Though i actually not a python dev at all :D

[deenbee]

Yes, I am use qbit 3.1.10 in ubuntu work perfect but today I installed on win 7 x64 the search plugins are empty.

[filocullen]

Hi, im using windows 8.1, and I have the same problem, i downloaded the 3.1.10 version, and I can't find any search engines, I'm not an expert, what can I do?thanks

[sledgehammer999]

what can I do?

Read the bug report. There isn't a solution. When I fix it I'll make a new release for this. For the meantime if you want revert back to 3.1.9.2

[BrunoReX]

Okay, I noticed a couple things.

• Doesn't matter if Python is installed/detected or not, there's no error/warning/anything by qBittorrent.
• The plugins don't work if Python is installed/detected but not in PATH (this is default for the latest installers for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4). I didn't check the code in-depth, but you guys do check the InstallPath key, is it not used at all to execute Python, relying on it being in the PATH?

Both are fixed by https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/commit/b47fba49cce0a15711482f5ce520d1ed4e65c7be

[deenbee]

I try install Python 2.7 & 3.4 in default path install directory, nothing work in Windows 7 x64, in Ubuntu work perfect.

-Although v3.1.10 was available, the 'Help>Check for updates' of v3.1.9.2 assured me that there was no update available...

-I installed v3.1.10 over v3.1.9.2 on Windows 8.1 x64.

-Unfortunately, all my Search plugins lost!!!

-Therefore, I reverted back to 3.1.9.2 and had to install my Search plugins again!!!

I do minimal testing ie I test that you can actually download a torrent with the program. That is it's main function. I cannot test EVERY aspect of the program. If you want that kind of service you should try some paid program. I do my best with the resources I have available(time and money).

I think commit https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/commit/b47fba49cce0a15711482f5ce520d1ed4e65c7be has already fixed this issue. Can you guys try this temp build and tell me if it works? -> http://builds.shiki.hu/temp/qbittorrent_3.1.1020141004_setup.exe

[sandrocosta]

It's working fine. Sandro.

Yes sledgehammer999, has been fixed now working in windows 8 x64. thanks

[sledgehammer999]

@BrunoReX I totally missed your comment saying that it was fixed by that specific commit. Now I'll for one more confirmation by someone else. Otherwise I'll close this tomorrow.

[deenbee]

Yes @BrunoReX the new temp version fixed by @sledgehammer999 putting in the forum now work.

(http://builds.shiki.hu/temp/qbittorrent_3.1.1020141004_setup.exe)

[sandrocosta]

The issue of search engines has been resolved. But unfortunately the program has been terminated unexpectedly several times. It may be my PC, but that did not happen before!
