Setting up Ktorrent with DuckieTV

This is a step by step guide on how to set up Ktorrent with DuckieTV. This guide is based on my installation on a Ubuntu 15 platform, but this guide should hold true across the other platforms (more or less).

###Pre requisites:### Ktorrent 3.4.1 or newer. Get the latest version at the official download site here

DuckieTV 1.1.4 or newer. Get the latest version at the official download site here

Once you have installed and started Ktorrent, we can

###enable the Web and Magnet plugins.###

• Click on the Plugins tool bar and enable all the plugins you wish to use. At the very minimum, make sure you enable the Web Interface and Magnet Generator plugins by clicking on their check boxes.

• Next, click on the Configure tool bar and then click on the Web Interface icon to view its settings

• Now tick the Login required check box, and enter a Username and Password. Then click on the Apply and OK buttons.

Start up DuckieTV and ###configure the DuckieTV Ktorrent Integration.###

• Start up DuckieTV and click on the Settings Icon

• And then click on the Torrent button

• Now click on the Ktorrent button

• Next, click on the Ktorrent Integration button

• Enter the same Username and Password that you used on the Ktorrent Web Interface settings page

• if you are running Ktorrent on a different computer than DuckieTV then enter its ip address in the Address box

• And press the Test and Save button

• you are connected! If all went well, you should see a green dot next to the Ktorrent Icon on the left hand side.

###Problems?###

• Did you get the username or password on the DuckieTV Ktorrent Integration panel wrong? When you press the Test and Save button, and the test fails, DuckieTV does not save the username and password, so when you try again, you will need to enter both the new username and password again.
• If you previously tried a connection and failed, and subsequently followed this guide and are still not connected, first try clicking on the DuckieTV Ktorrent icon on the left. This will retry the connection attempt.
• If the connection is still not established, try closing both Ktorrent and DuckieTV and starting them up again. Then click on the DuckieTV Ktorrent icon to try establishing a connection.
• Still not connected? Check the DuckieTV console log for errors, by pressing the F12 key to open the development tools page, and clicking on the console tab to view the log. and feel free to raise a ticket on GitHub here, or submit a post on Reddit here
