@rob1998 You want to try looking at this? Are you stilll using qBit?

qBittorrent has been updated 3 days ago:

@causefx I'm a bit busy atm, but if some free time comes up I'll take a look at it. Not using qbit as my main torrent client anymore, but I do still use it for some quick torrenting on my laptop.

@rob1998 no worries if you arent using it. Hopefully I can find some time to install it lol

Hey guys. Random new user of Ogranizr here. I started seeing this issue after qBittorrent updated on December 3rd. Seeing that no one was reporting this issue yet, I actually fixed this myself and been meaning to submit a PR, but life gets in the way. Basically qBittorrent bumped their API versions and have new paths

Here's the fix:

Dashboard/api/functions/homepage-connect-functions.php - Line 1034
Change:
$url = $digest['scheme'] . '://' . $digest['host'] . $digest['port'] . $digest['path'] . '/login';
To:
$url = $digest['scheme'] . '://' . $digest['host'] . $digest['port'] . $digest['path'] . '/api/v2/auth/login';

Dashboard/api/functions/homepage-connect-functions.php - Line 1047
Change:
$url = $digest['scheme'] . '://' . $digest['host'] . $digest['port'] . $digest['path'] . '/query/torrents?sort=' . $GLOBALS['qBittorrentSortOrder'] . '&reverse=' . $reverse;
To:
$url = $digest['scheme'] . '://' . $digest['host'] . $digest['port'] . $digest['path'] . '/api/v2/torrents/info?sort=' . $GLOBALS['qBittorrentSortOrder'] . '&reverse=' . $reverse;

After I updated the Uri's with the new API paths, my homepage widget started working again.

*EDIT: As a note, I am also using the docker setup for both qBit and Organizr

@CplPwnies

does qbit have an api endpoint to get version?

[CplPwnies]

@causefx

Yes. Here is the full wiki page

And, Here is the link to the GET method for API version

[causefx]

Workaround has been posted to dev kinda based off of @CplPwnies code. Change API Version on homepage config in settings.

Working for me now with qBittorrent 4.2.0. Thanks.

So not yet on the v2-master branch right? :)

I've changed the api version in the homepage config settings and verified all of the updated files have the correct changes and I'm still seeing this error.

Hi! I'm sorry if this is a really noob question (probably is), but how could I manage to apply this fix using Organizr on Docker? I've tried to edit the homepage-connect-functions.php file, but it gets overwritten every time my container restarts.

Thanks!

[CplPwnies]

@netcop82 - I just made a copy of the homepage-connect-functions.php file on my host, made the necessary changes, then wrote a script that'll check the md5 sums of both files (which one should change if the container restarts). Then, I setup crontab to run that script every hour.

Sorry guys!!!! this is on master as of now... Version 2.0.362
