qBittorrent API v2

[andreadistefano]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using the latest qBittorrent builds from the unstable repo, Medusa cannot download torrents. I think the old APIs are now deprecated.

Describe the solution you'd like
Upgrade the qBittorrent client to use API v2. I did it on my local qbittorrent.py file (just changed the _add_torrent_uri and _add_torrent_file methods), but I'm not confident enough to submit a PR.

Youll have to add a method that will get the api version first. Then then based on that you can switch between apis.

Just submit your code. I'm sure it's going to be fine. We will help if needed.

I uploaded my code here https://gist.github.com/andystevens91/3067a6241a3e6c29ba140dad74e1af50
It's not fancy, there is no API version check, and I manually insert the 'tv' category because that's what I use on my server.

In case this helps, my attempt at this from a year ago:
develop...sharkykh:feature/qbittorrent-api-v2

While the authentication side of the code isn't finished,
I did put in some of the changes needed for API v2.

P.S.
I think that the new code should still support API v1 (only if API v2 isn't available).

Your code is mostly working, though I got
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
on line 47
version = map(int, version.content.split('.'))

i fixed it in this way, which is surely the worst way to do that, but works for me:

try:
    version = map(int, version.content.split('.'))  
        if len(version) < 2:  
            version.append(0)  
            return tuple(version)  
except TypeError:  
    return (2, 0, 0)  

[p0psicles]

Can you post the stack trace of that? Also I assume you use python3?

[sharkykh]

Try just changing that line to: version = map(int, version.text.split('.'))

[andreadistefano]

Try just changing that line to: version = map(int, version.text.split('.'))

That works!

It would be great to have a PR with these changes for the next version.

Hi all,

Any progress on this? qbittorrent 4.2.0 doesn't work with medusa right now

2019-08-07 07:43:53 WARNING SNATCHQUEUE-SNATCH-323420 :: [74c3f12] qbittorrent: Unable to send Torrent 2019-08-07 07:43:53 INFO SNATCHQUEUE-SNATCH-323420 :: [74c3f12] qbittorrent: Not Found

I tried both @sharkykh and @andystevens91 qbittorrent.py besides the default one present in medusa master branch. All return this error.

qbittorrent API version is 2.2

I'll try to finish it this week

Just FYI, qBittorrent version 4.2.0 is still in alpha, current (stable) version is 4.1.7 and it still fully supports the v1 API.
