Looking forward, nice going chip.

update on todays progress:
more support for HTTP 1.1 requests, including GZIP page requests and Chunked data responses. this allows Bit Che to request the search HTML pages to be gzipped, thus allowing slightly faster searching speeds (because in theory, less data is being downloaded from the web, so the engine can start extracting the results sooner). this is a good thing ;)
-
update on this todays progress:
the new script engine with easier to understand variables/functions was incorporated. in addition, the engine is faster to process the results. AND, enhancements to the Bit Che debugger were also included.
attached is a screen shot of the debugger with some of the changes pointed out. you will notice big red arrows pointing out sections that have changed.. compare it to the current script debugger and I am sure you will welcome the new changes!
-
also, here is an example of the new script language in a script file:

Still haven't replaced the [ code][ /code] I See :)
The new variables may help get new coders.
Like the new Modified tag :)

should we rename [ code][ /code] ? I am open to suggestions. Keep in mind, at some point, there will be 2nd or maybe 3rd 'code' sections in a single script file
-
Yes use something that isn't a BBCode or HTML
Perhaps use something more appropriate then
replace [ code] with [Divide&Conquer]
replace start with [/Divide&Conquer] [MainLoop]
Replace aloop [ /code] with [/MainLoop]
Though would be nice to have some looping if needed, procedures may be nice instead of a second and third code section.
-
update on todays progress:
script debugger enhanced, now you can step through as many results as you would like, and it will display which result you are on in the debugger.
also, added a new button "locate" that appears after a "find" function is called. the locate button will highlight, in the correct variable, the result of the 'find' function. see screen shot.
-
update:
fixed annoying Script Debugger bug (thanks CuF!)
further minor improvements to Script Debugger: faster response, and better display of r(array)
-
update:
confirmed bug with HTTP 301/302 redirect responses
this has been fixed in build 62+
-
user ranking system on torrent sites (and ability to sort the ersults with the rankings)?
-
Bit Che 1.0 build 62 -- BETA TEST / SCRIPT DEVS ONLY
this is a maintenance and work in progress release, meant only for those who are helping contribute feedback towards the development of Bit Che.
whats new since build 60?
1) Support for downloading .torrents that are GZIP compressed (fixes Kickasstorrents.com / etc) *implemented and working: 4/7/2011
2) New script engine language, easier to understand variables / functions *implemented and working: 4/15/2011
2a) Script Debugger enhancements, many new features! *Some debugger enhancements completed 4/19/2011
5) Numerous bug fixes: improving site/script compatibility *HTTP 1.1 headers problem solved, gzip requests/chunked responses support.
instructions:
extract the .exe & .dll into your Bit Che 1.0 build 60 installation directory
extract the kickasstorrents.ini into your scripts directory
note: right now, only the supplied kickasstorrents.ini will work with the new script engine. i have 95% of the other scripts converted, but for now, we only need 1 working script to test the new debugger and other features.
NOTE #2: downloading and saving of the torrents on kickasstorrents will NOT work yet. this is because a new version of "x.exe" has not been supplied yet (again, this is a limited beta/dev test only). BUT you can test that the downloading of torrents works by "View Torrent Details".
this beta release is dedicated to the Navy SEAL Team 6 ;D
-
Same instructions as above.
Changes in build 63:
1. All remaining functions can now save: (&, put, mid, crop, vacuum, scrub)
2. Using any function to save to a $torrent variable will automatically call scrub and will trim leading&trailing spaces
3. Debug clears the $torrent variables for the next loop AND clears the @q array
4. Array function can now handle Number or Variable, allowing greater flexibility, such as:
k=put(4)
$seeds=array(@q,k)
k=+(1)
$leeches=array(@q,k)
5. Any function that expects parameter variable that has to be numeric can now accept either a variable containing a number or a number itself, such as:
$page=extract(t,z,",",http://www.kat.ph)
or
$page=extract(t,1,",",http://www.kat.ph)
and
z=find(1,t,title="Download,href=)
or
z=find(z,t,title="Download,href=)
6. Other minor changes to the script engine.

EDIT: Opps, build 63 will be attached tonight.
-
build 63 attached.
-
Thanks that's better.
-
build 64 attached.
fixes script engine case-sensitive string comparisons
-
wahooo!! full HTTPS support AND removed dependency on Winsock.ocx! Now uses WinHTTP.dll
attached build 65
and 2 more working scripts: demonoid.me (private) and waffles.fm (private https)
edit: fixed glitch, uploaded working build 65
-
attached build 66.
x.exe (torrent file downloader) and update.exe (used to download and update the script pack) have been incorporated into Bit_Che.exe (so those files are no longer needed).
searching, downloading, and saving of torrents should work for the scripts provided.
I made the Script Update work a little better by automatically reloading the profiles.
began work on a basic "profile editor" (found under menu Options). this is not functional yet, but it will load and show the profile names.
minor tweaks and fixes.
if you download and test this beta (follow directions on first post), please provide some feedback to me here: http://convivea.com/forums/index.php?topic=1899.new#new (http://convivea.com/forums/index.php?topic=1899.new#new)
(you can tell me if it works or if you find anything broken)
thanks,

Doesn't seem to work for me here Chip. just freezes when I hit search.
Build 60 works no problem.
Using Windows 7 Pro x86
-
Build 60 was the last proper build with all the scripts in the right places this is a dev build so you will need to create relevant folders for the scripts & settings.ini in it.
Save the attached file to "my documents" and use your un-archivers "Extract Here" function then go into that "Bit_Che_1_0_66_Beta" folder and double click "Bit_Che.exe" press F2 on your keyboard to list the scripts then turn on the ones you want to use.
There are only a couple of scripts that have been converted at the moment as it's still in development so the scripting language may change and new scripts will need to be created.

For me btmon.com in Bit Che version 1.66 beta does not display the search results.
Why?
-
Bit Che 2.0 build 1 :)
new since beta 66:
-ability to use 2nd code section to extract .torrent from a "details" page (see BitSnoop.com script). added new function ProcessTorrentURL to be used in the [code2] section.
-pulls search strings from script.ini instead of settings.ini
-restructured script.ini, see one of the login scripts
-automatically upgrades/cleans your settings.ini to a fresh version 2 copy (removes all the old search strings)
-no more flags for portable version, if there is a settings.ini in the Bit_Che.exe directory, it will use that directory as the AppPath, otherwise it will default to the LocalAppPath
-POST HTTP is working (see torrentzone.net script)
-remembers Window size/position and Window 7's snap to sides
-more bug fixes
unpolished beta version, same instructions as before, but now you can extract and use Bit Che in any folder for testing.

Understood the above, I have couple of queries though.
a. What i have done atm is downloaded and extracted the Bit_che_2_0_beta . Now when I ask for updation of the program, would it go and look in some sort of beta channel (something akin to what Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome offer me when when I'm on one of their ' channels ' . If it works this way it would be good.
b. If not, is there possibility to see something like that in the near future ?
c. How far away do the people the new scripts will take ?

posted experimental Build 4 in the Dev Thread. happy bug hunting ;)

hi chip man you are my hero ;D I mean it
i am waiting your new version
cause no one and no site has got such a program like yours on the net
believe me i use three main programs on my laptop
1-Firefox
2-Bitche
3-Utorrent
I recently discovered the importance of HTTPS protocol and now I am using it with most of my sites like facebook
so i am very happy that you are improving this protocol with Bitche
There are two(or three) bugs i discovered through my experience with Bitche
1-I am running it as administrator at windows 7 64 bit cause it is not working well without administrator permissions so please make a 64 bit
edition
2-if i leave Bitche running at the background after a while it keeps giving messages and it open it self twenty times or more
3-it can`t take torrents from H33t site it gives me an error
i don`t care about gui just i am looking for stability and performance
and please do not late i firing and can`t wait any more
-
yeah i remember that your site is seems going to be blocked in my location (kuwait)
the communication company claims that your site has been flagged for blocking due to some thing the called p2p sharing
I do not know what fool they are I know there are proxy solutions but please make HTTPS version for your site so it can not be blocked with any one
and add share link with facebook and twitter and other social sites to you site and like link also
-
I can not hang on IRC but can't wait till you release a beta to us.
-
Hi, I'm new on the board but I've been using BitChe since years ago! I love your prog but I've a problem/request! It's in project to add a proxy feature? Here in Italy they have censored the Bay and the Junk -.-"
Tnx 4 answers and sorry for my bad english
-
Well if chip is still using WinHTTP then it is fairly easy to implement proxy's.
-
Where can we get the beta to test? Or do we have to be on IRC?
-
oh wow, looking forward to the new Bit Che 2.0 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Great look forward to see it many thz

Working great so far.
Status bar should read "Searching..." instead of "Done" immediately after clicking search button.

thanks guys!! I'll work to get that fixed in the next beta. Closing down on the list of things needed to get working, and its coming along nicely. :)

Hello.
I'm a long-time Bit Che user, and I apologize if this is the wrong thread, but...Here goes. And yes, I'm a Guevara user. If one of the admins wants this elsewhere, feel free to do what ya need to do.
First, I want to thank the devs...As a blind user, it's nice to see software that's essentially accessible right out of the box, as it were, and doesn't need modifications to itself or the screenreader to be useable. Great job, guys.
Second...And naturally...Here's the problem. I'm not a developer, but enjoy ttrying out new versions, beta or otherwise, of software...For accessibility purposes, and so I can stay on the cutting edge of what's out there when given a chance. I'm having an issue with the current beta, though I think it's something I may have done incorrectly when installing, and I can't find full instructions anyplace. The "quick start guide", when I click the URL, tells me IE can't display the web page, so wondering if it was maybe taken down. The issue is simply that no matter what I search, I get zero results. So, here are my questions:
1. With the files/folders that came in the zip file, what goes into the c:\programs\bitche folder, and what goes in the AppData area? Running Vista 32-bit on a Dell Studio 1535 laptop. yeah, yeah...I need to update my system. Money stands in my way. LOL
2. Not sure how to phrase this one, but...When I launch the executable, I've got the Guevara edition activated no problem. But, my screen reader, JAWS, sees 2 edit fields. First one is "Coffee Edit Combo", in which I can type something or scroll through a history of my searches if I haven't cleared them. Second one just says "Edit". So, which one should I use for typing my search? In the old versions, the plain "edit" box was first, then the search listview, then the "edit combo" with the history...Or, that's how JAWS saw it...So, layout's slightly different. For the record, I've typed in both, and still come up empty in all my searches.
3. Finally, since I've chosen to simply kill 1.60 since so many of my searches there seem to be yielding nonexistent torrents of late, what all do I want to remove from the AppData folder before putting the materials from the Zip file in there? Everything, or, should I keep the "Coffee" folder since that one doesn't seem to be included with the Beta Build 9?
Again, sorry if these questions are stupid...But, I'm truly stumped. Generally, I'm the kind of guy who can install something, Beta or not, and have it figured out in no time at all, provided no accessibility barriers stand in the way...So, it's not that I'm not semi-techie...Just having issues with this particular bit of software.
Thanks much. All help is appreciated, and again, I apologize if I've put this in the wrong area.

3. Extract the .zip to beta test Directory (do not try to extract over a Bit Che 1.x version).
4. Execute Bit_Che.exe and test.
Note: Please do not expect everything related to the GUI to be working, but it should be stable, fast, and functional.

hello there! thank you for your kind words! I have downloaded a trial edition of JAWS onto my computer and played around with it and worked on getting Bit Che 2.0 to be more "Screen Reader" friendly. I spent all weekend and after work today trying to figure out the issues. I think I fixed several big issues and I hope that you find the new build 10 is easier to use, but if not, I am happy to continue working to make Bit Che easy for you to use.
Now, to answer some of your questions:
1. I dont really have a guide yet for using the Beta 2.0 version. There is no installer yet, but you just extract it anywhere, such as a folder on your Desktop. I would not recommend trying to overwrite the old 1.60 version with a newer beta. In the future, as 2.0 gets more polished, then I will prepare an Installer/setup to use. But for now, its really only meant for those seeking to try out the latest and to help provide some feedback. I have not made it easy to install, because its not "ready" for the mass public yet.
2. The layout has changed slightly in this new version. It should go like this: "Coffee Edit Combo" is the Search Box (also with History), Search Button, Media Type Button, Check Box to turn on/off description searches. NEW: Edit box for Filtering your search list AFTER a search is completed. Next you have Script List (if you pressed F2), and finally the Results Listview. Here's the funny part. I have no idea why JAWS says "Coffee Edit Combo" instead of just "Edit Combo" because it is reading the name of one of the Menu Items, "Coffee". I tested this by changing the "Coffee" menu to "Testing Coffee Testing" and then clicking on the Search Box. Sure enough, JAWS read out loud: "Testing Coffee Testing Edit Combo". So, I think JAWS would need to fix that. Maybe I can contact them?
3. You can kill everything from 1.60 if you want. If you DID have Coffee Cups in the /coffee folder, then you could save those.
Hope that all somehow helps. I am looking forward to your feedback, and not sure if there is another way I can help. If you have any questions just let me know!
Thanks
Chip

3. You can kill everything from 1.60 if you want. If you DID have Coffee Cups in the /coffee folder, then you could save those.
Hope that all somehow helps. I am looking forward to your feedback, and not sure if there is another way I can help. If you have any questions just let me know!
Thanks
Chip
Dear Chip,
for some reason it seems the steam has gone out or what? Two months without any new Chip 2.0 builds ? I do see you are regularly posting on the fora
http://convivea.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=1;sa=showPosts (http://convivea.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=1;sa=showPosts)
but the last bit bit about bitche was in October, what happened ?
-
haha, thanks for the followup. I got engaged recently... work has been busier than usual.. fantasy football.. also been working on learning how to develop Android applications. but yes, I havent had much time to develop Bit Che recently. I hope to be able to spend some time in the next few weeks to push the beta 2.0 a little closer to a public release. hope all is well, and happy holidays!

After update scripts there are shown/working only two scripts:
Bitsnoop & Rutor
-
Same thing happening to me when updating scripts, it removes all and adds only 3 to mine.
-
Whatever you will say, magnet support would be nice thing in bitche evolution.
Btw maybe Bitche REvolution(alternatives Revolution/Evolution)codename/name for 2.0 :D
why to play with magnet - .torrent files are going to sink, dht will rule(yes KADemlia from eMule was first and also is resilient)

greets! :)
I am looking at adding Magnet support to Bit Che. First step was to figure out some Info Hash coding and I've completed that.
The good news is that allowed me to finally bake in Scrape support from the Torrent Details window. Here's a screen shot showing the progress there, as well as new popup menus on that dialog.
Anyway, I'm alive still, and making (slow, but better than none) progress on Bit Che 2.0..
Magnet files will be interesting because even though you have the Hash, you do not know any information about the structure of the .torrent details until after you have connected to the Tracker swarm, and then downloaded the .torrent from your peers. This makes the "Torrent Details" screen pretty much useless in Bit Che.. but, so is loading a magnet link into uTorrent.. you get nothing until after its started to download. Nothing can be done about that, except maybe force Bit Che to parse extra HTML page for the filenames/sizes and then push that into the Torrent Details. Might be more of a hassle than is needed.
Regardless, I think the main point would be for Bit Che to be able to search for results, and then send Magnet links to your Torrent Downloader (since currently it needs a .torrent to pass along).
-
Good news, Bit Che 2.0 is now ready to handle Magnet links and send them into your downloader. Since there is no data in a magnet link, the Details windows will only show what is known.
Also added, scraping the tracker (HTTP trackers only, I will work on UDP later).
Also, I'm going to work on fetching either the .torrent itself or the file name info for magnet links based on either torrent cache websites or other indexes that store the file names (if not the original site itself, but its nice to not have to trust the website, especially for public sites).

Bit Che 2.0 - Build 12 *BETA*
Yes, there are bugs, but I am posting it anyway. A bunch of new features have been added and I would like feedback! :)
1. Magnet Link support
2. Torrent Details: Searches torrent cache sites for Magnet links (allows .torrent preview for magnet links.. otherwise not possible! :) )
3. Torrent Details: Tracker scrape support - HTTP only.. but supports both Scrape and Hard Scrape (scrape/announce methods) -- real time Seeds/Leeches
4. Torrent Details: Now able to view 'all' of the trackers listed in a torrent (click the tracker for a drop down list).
I'm looking for feedback on the above... I know its not 100% working in all scenarios, and I will continue to improve it.
Thanks
Chip

Bit Che 2.0 - Build 13 *BETA*
New:
1. UDP tracker Scrape support! (yey!)
2. Icons now show in the results list for type: torrent or magnet
3. Couple logic/bug fixes.
Should be pretty stable. More feedback please! :)
Thanks

Bit Che 2.0 - Build 14 *BETA*
New:
1. Removed 'x.dll' dependency (finally!).
2. Removed ms common controls dependency (finally!).
3. Auto downloads the only .dll file needed (if missing): zlibwapi.dll
4. Auto downloads the default script pack if your /scripts folder is missing or empty.
5. Now almost entirely self-contained and portable. You can put the Bit_Che.exe in any folder, and it should "just" work! :)
6. Couple new tweaks to the 'Torrent Details' window.
7. Update scripts function now works again.
Anyone have feedback for me?? :)
Thanks
Chip

I haven't downloaded the beta version yet, but after I do I'll be sure to let you know about any bugs chip.
TheHalf™

Thanks TheHalf :) I'm a bit confused as there was 50+ downloads of the last beta, but haven't heard from anyone yet about what they think. I certainly appreciate any/all feedback. I know there are still several "unfinished" features in the beta, but if you get a chance to test it out and let me know what you think, I can prioritize what needs to get attention prior to a formal 2.0 release ;D.
-
I've give it a work through and give feedback in a day. :)
-
OK,
Here's some feedback, Chip.
a) Downloaded & installed on Win7-32 laptop. It would NOT launch. Have checked event viewer & used procmon to try to figure out why, but I can't see anything suspicious. No window pops up at all. Tried downloading twice. Tried changing compatibility settings, nothing. Laptop does have the old stable release on it. I will play more to see if I can figure out why, but don't have a lot of time.
b) On main machine - Win7-64. Fine. The app launched & downloaded a DLL. I performed a search, it found nothing. I noticed it had not checked any sites (!). I then *manually* downloaded the script pack & it worked. So that's a bug. On first install, it should download the script pack.
Another bug: The completion dialog after the scripts are updated is "All scripts are updated!12341234". This "feature" exists in the current (old) stable release, too.
Another bug: I have the seeders column clicked to sort by seeders. As it scrapes the results, it does not auto-sort. When it has finished grabbing all results, it does not auto-sort. I had to manually click after the search was over. 3 times ("search descending -> no search -> search ascending -> search descending). ALSO (usability) shouldn't the app default to sort by seeders (descending)? Who wouldn't want this??
Fundamentally, though, the app does work.
-
OK,
Here's some feedback, Chip.
thank you!!! :)

Tried downloading twice. Tried changing compatibility settings, nothing. Laptop does have the old stable release on it. I will play more to see if I can figure out why, but don't have a lot of time.
hmm, possibly there are some runtime files that are not included in Win7, but if the old release worked on it, then there shouldn't have been any problem there. maybe a folder permissions issue, or maybe it has something to do with bit_che.exe being compiled on a x64 machine. I'll have to do more testing myself there.
b) On main machine - Win7-64. Fine. The app launched & downloaded a DLL. I performed a search, it found nothing. I noticed it had not checked any sites (!). I then *manually* downloaded the script pack & it worked. So that's a bug. On first install, it should download the script pack.
actually.. it does download the script pack automatically IF you have an empty script folder.. BUT, here, you had a previous installation which uses the same /scripts directory. I will change this to download the script pack IF you have no bit che 2.0 scripts in the /scripts directory OR its completely empty.
Another bug: The completion dialog after the scripts are updated is "All scripts are updated!12341234". This "feature" exists in the current (old) stable release, too.
it's using the language file from bit che 1.60 which is where that "12341234" gets pulled from. delete your /languages folder... OR move "bit_che.exe" to another folder and stick "settins.ini" in with "bit_che.exe" and you'll see that go away (since theres no language folder). also you'll notice it downloads the script pack automatically theres no /script folder.
Another bug: I have the seeders column clicked to sort by seeders. As it scrapes the results, it does not auto-sort. When it has finished grabbing all results, it does not auto-sort. I had to manually click after the search was over. 3 times ("search descending -> no search -> search ascending -> search descending). ALSO (usability) shouldn't the app default to sort by seeders (descending)? Who wouldn't want this??

YES!! I need that working.. driving me crazy! :) I think its both on the Results window and also the Torrents Details windows.
thank you for the feedback!! making progress :)

Works as it should but the minor glitches listed before.
KAT support
Magnet support
If someone told me it is going to happen like a year ago I would't belive it!
BC works, update scripts works. Replaced exe of beta 10 and updated works as it should. Awesomely cool program!!!
-
Languages folder deletion has worked to fix the 1234 bug.
For anyone looking for it, its under %appdata%\Convivea
Warning - if you do this, 1.0 build 60 (old stable) will have some issues. Understandably.
Thanks Chip, for an really useful program.
-
Ooh.. new bug.
Having more than one file selected in the search results, and performing "open torrent" only downloads one of the files..
-
thanks guys! great to have some feedback to encourage the development! :) I know its been a long road, but as you can see, i'm making progress!! :)

Windows 7 - 32 bit..
I just tested beta 14 on a Win7 32bit test system and it worked with no problem (downloaded .dll and script pack upon start up). Ran it both as regular user and 'Ran As Administrator'. Also ran it from different folders: User\Downloads, User\Desktop, C:\, all with no issue. This machine is fresh install and does not have any prior version of Bit Che installed.
Can anyone else confirm a problem with Windows 7 32bit?
-
Hey Chip..
I've found the solution for Win7-32 (on my laptop anyway). Don't know what the cause is, probably registry.
Once I installed 1.0b60, the new betas all worked fine.
The laptop I was using had NEVER had Bit Che installed before.
So maybe there's a missing reg key or something.
Also, I did note that there was no %appdata%\Convivea until I installed the old version. This may be relevant too.
-
Ah crap... been waiting for you to get back from RL for the last few months, I don't check the forum for a couple of weeks, I miss 3-4 beta builds and now it's a 'closed beta'
Always happy to test and provide feedback (as I've done previously) if you would be willing to grant me access to the betas! :)

Then removing all registeries from a previous installation of Bit Che from Win7 32bit before installing the latest Beta version is best? May I recommend Unclean. Now about Win7 64bit... ...any bugs from anyone??? What about Vista's 32/64 bit.

TheHalf™
Vista is nearly the same product as 7, installers are the same, enviromental paths and so on. What is to discuss?
-
well, bit che "itself" leaves no registry entries*.. but it does require the MS Runtime libraries which are pre-installed on all Vista+ Windows machines. I can only guess that one of those files were not properly registered.. or corrupt, etc, which the Bit Che installer "setup" actually goes through and makes sure those files are ok.
So, when the beta is finished, I will package it as both the installer "setup" and a bare-bones "portable" version.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!! Please keep it coming.
Areas I'd like some more Feedback:
a. Magnet --> Cache Check (searches cache sites for a matching .torrent and loads it)
b. In results search filter (top right 'Filter' box).. [make sure you have unlocked Bit Che Plus in order to see it]
c. 'Scrape' the tracker's for real-time Peer information -- hit the Scrape button on the Torrent Details.
*except for if you use the Uninstaller and have Bit Che install the URL search protocol handler, but that does nothing to the "application".
-
I noticed the issues mentioned above, glad they're getting fixed. :D I hate to say it though, honestly the thing Bit Che 2.0 beta needs right now is a few more working scripts for popular sites like What.CD and RUTracker and official fixes for sites like The Pirate Bay.
Which reminds me, will the magnet support work on The Pirate Bay?
-
>> 'Scrape' the tracker's for real-time Peer information -- hit the Scrape button on the Torrent Details
Getting mized results. Seems to not work when the tracker selected is a pirate bay one for me. All others seem fine.
-
>> Magnet --> Cache Check (searches cache sites for a matching .torrent and loads it)
Just tried a few magent links using the cache check and it all worked fine so far :)
-

It already works. Update your scripts and enable TBP if it is required.
-
Only other suggestion I have is to customize the columns you want to see and able to hide the others.
-
i have try it too:
About filter:
if you search fr example maddona and it shows you this result Give Me All Your Luvin - Madonna Nicki Mina
if you search for "Give Me Luvin" it doesnt show any result which is wrong. It only shows exactly results. Maybe to add an option next to the filter box with the options exact or any?
Where are the free sites?

Good catch! I re-wrote the filter code to narrow down based on *any* search term. I think this is how most people will expect it to work.
will be working in beta 15

pirate bay shut down their tracker, so naturally, that will fail. however, many torrent files still have pirate bay tracker hard coded into the file. I might consider having bit che auto add/delete trackers from .torrents, but I am leaning towards not adding any new features to bit che 2.0 and just polish up what we have now (one last new feature added in beta 15).
-

can anyone confirm this? multiple files seem to be working just fine for me..

both fixed in beta 15.. should be ready by Wednesday/Thursday of this week.

If you right click on a magnet result from the Pirate Bay, it says it's a torrent. Shouldn't the reference be changed from torrent to magnet and download/open it as a magnet link? Also I randomly see the magnet icon next to the filename in the results turn black at random. Transparency issue?
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8163/blackmagnet.png)
Is anyone else having issues downloading the magnet links via right click (open torrent menu item or double click and from the dialog)? They open but they're blank in uTorrent.

I noticed that icon transparency issue and have fixed it in beta 15.
I can change all the references in the context menu's to 'magnet' instead of torrent.
Is anyone else having issues downloading the magnet links via right click (open torrent menu item or double click and from the dialog)? They open but they're blank in uTorrent.
Since there is no 'information' in a magnet link (other than NAME & Hash), when you click one from a website, or open it from bit che, it will be sent to your downloader, and THEN the downloader will fetch all of the .torrent information AFTER it has connected to the peers/swarm, and announced itself as the downloader.
So, it will look blank when you open uTorrent with a magnet link. After it connects/begins the bit torrent download, then it will populate with the file name information, etc.
***However***, Bit Che can go "look for" a torrent matching the hash ID (the only information in a magnet) stored in known torrent cache sites. In order to do that, you will need to open the 'Torrent Details' and hit 'Check Cache'. If a matching torrent is found, it will be loaded into Bit Che, and then you can send it to your downloader. This 'Check Cache' is a bit of magic that is performed, and if it finds one, great, if not, then you have to send only the magnet link to your downloader.

Bit Che 2.0 build 15 - beta
new: script "packs" support ;D ;D ;D now users can add their own "packs", with different update servers, etc. for example, if someone wants to host/manage 'anime' script pack!
new: bit che "default" script pack is now moved to GitHub! The scripts themselves are open source. Team members will be given access to modify the scripts directly, which will get pushed to the Convivea update server automatically! https://github.com/convivea/bit-che-2-scripts/
new: new search button option filter [SIZE]!!!! ;D ;D
improved: Filter Results now matches ["*exact*" AND "*text*"] instead of only "*exact text*" (thanks Exo)
fixed: a number of minor bugs related to new features (icon transparency, magnet/torrent label, sorting of the columns, downloading default script pack and enabling all scripts upon first download) (thanks everyone!: ID101, Venom, AnthonyB )
I'm ready for your feedback!!
happy bug hunting.. there are still a few things to fix up regarding the User Interface, but its stable, fast, and worthy of testing! :)
this should represent a feature complete Bit Che 2.0, and from here on out, it will be fixing bugs, and getting it ready for public 2.0 release!
-
Number of scripts is lower than it was in 2.0 b14
Config is now stored in profile - how to make bitche portable - store config from profile inside of bitche folder?
There is still no custom proxy support - to prevent censorship and other networking issues.

I think I removed a couple scripts that weren't working such as rutor? Not positive, but in any case, once bit che is a little more polished, then myself and the others will continue to convert the old scripts to the new ones. Right now that's low priority.
for portable, still only need to have settings.ini in the folder with bit_che.exe. you can copy the scripts folder too, or bit che will download them again.
I will add proxy support. Maybe in the next beta.
I noticed a few more small bugs when using bit che beta on top of the old 1.60, such as missing profile names. I will fix that but it also works if you delete your old settings.ini and let bit che 2.0 start fresh.
-
Happy St Patricks Day everyone!!
Bit Che 2.0 build 16 - beta
new: HTTP/HTTPS proxy support (no authentication for now, will bake in user/pass support next)
by default, it will use the System Setting for 'proxy server'. If there is no proxy configured (Internet Explorer/Windows Connection Settings), then it will make direct connection. You can also force using a given proxy server by editing "settings.ini" under "[proxy]" and changing "server=" to the server name you want, then changing the value of "UseProxy" to "2". I will make support for this in the preferences before we get much further in the betas.
fixed: a number of minor bugs related to new features (missing profile name, scripts not downloading, etc)
Thanks everyone who has provided feedback! Please keep it coming :)

1. Great work as usual. ;D
2. In preferences proxy choice should be separated from font size and named.
3. bitsnoop.com went magnet
4. Include description searches sentence should be wrapped when window is small because part of text is under Filter results.
5. Feature request: default results sorting by chosen column like site/script/seeds/names/ratio

Going to be testing this one today. :D

Feedback for 2.0b16.
(Freeware edition)
1) I had to OK running the file as it was unsigned.
2) like the previous betas, the "all scripts updated" pops up on top of the window updating the scripts. And it does this while the script update hasn't finished. Which is disconcerting. Maybe they should all be the one dialog?
3) The sort-by seeders in realtime bug is now fixed.
4) Adding a profile doesn't work.
5) What do profiles do? How do you change existing profiles? All I can seem to do is delete them.
Thanks Chip :-)

2. I'm planning on re-doing the Preferences once I have 'feature' completed 2.0. Looks like I'm very close to that. Once the Preferences are re-done, there will be dedicated 'Connection' tab to control the proxy settings, etc.
3. we can update the script to handle both magnet or .torrent links, if needed?
4. I'll see what I can do there. Thanks
5. The default sorting by column should be saved from session to session (it uses whatever you used last). Do you think we should allow a setting that says Default to: 'Use Last' or 'Seeds', etc, where the column will be sorted regardless of what was last used?

1. yeah, pretty normal when downloading an .exe straight from a web page. our web browsers and the OS are getting more and more cautious. But maybe there is something I can easily do to sign it, without having to pay a ton of $$ for a certificate. if you know more about that, let me know! :)
2. the script update hadn't finished? like the progress bar in the background hadnt reached 100%? Or something else? I'll look at making those popup's bundled.
4. known issue in b16. it will be ready in b17 because i worked on that last night :)
5. Profiles are the 'Audio' 'Apps', etc that you can select from the 'Media Type'. Each site can have different URL's to search different type's. The scripts have different URLs stored based on those. If you add a 'new' profile, then the scripts themselves need to have a matching search URL added, otherwise, bit che will just use the default "all" search URL. Regardless, you can select different sites to be used when you are searching different types based on those Profiles.
Note: 'Profiles' are different than 'Script Packs', where with 'Script Packs', you are changing the entire set of scripts you are working with.

Bit Che 2.0 build 17 - beta
new: option to click 'Details' about what changes were made on the server to the latest script "packs" update
new: option to click 'Details' after the "script pack" update has been applied (which files were locally modified/deleted/added)
new: unified script update process (thanks Finite!)
new: redesigned "Preferences" menu -- some options are still incomplete, but most are functional
new: Profile editor ;) (thanks Finite!)
new: added 'default' column sort order and Preferences configurable (thanks ID101!)
fixed: window size issues with 'Description Searches' and 'Filter' results box. (thanks ID101!)
some more great things here :) :)
keep the bug reports and design feedback coming!
getting closer to a public 2.0 release.
enjoy!!

forgot to mention, there is now an option to 'automatically update default script pack' if you have 'automatically check for updates' enabled. this way, you can always ensure Bit Che is using the latest script updates.
-
Chip,
I installed the entire contents of the zip to program files x86..
.. I get an "update available" dialog
I clock OK.
And then I get "there was a problem extracting the scripts. please try again later."
Which I OK. I then also have to hit cancel on the "updating scripts" progress window, which is stuck (should probably have auto-cancelled).
I had to delete all files except the main exe to make this go away.
This is probably an artifact of the way you zipped everything, but something to watch out for in the final packaging..
Feedback: in preferences, the "general/searches/results view/connection" left pane text looks really unprofessional IMNSHO.
Future capability: option to add skins. at least the basic window layouts.

interesting... well I understand the problem.
"Program Files (x86)" is a protected System Folder. You need 'admin' privileges in order to write data there. If you extracted the .ZIP to that folder, then you would have 'settings.ini' present in that folder, which means, Bit Che is operating out of the 'portable' mode, and uses it current directory. So, if you THEN ran Bit Che without admin privileges, it would not be able to extract the scripts to those folders.
But, when you install Bit Che, and the Bit_Che.exe gets put into the "Program Files (x86)" directory, then the 'settings.ini' gets put into the "%appdata%\Convivea\Bit_Che\" directory, because that is where you can write data.
So, when you deleted all of the other files, Bit Che then operated out of "normal installation" mode.
Since you probably did not mean to make Bit Che go into "portable" mode inside the protected directory, I would just recommend you extract the beta.zip to a folder on your desktop or some other 'non-protected' folder. There is not much I can do except to clean up those error messages you described and provide better reporting. I cannot make the 'portable' mode automatically start operating in 'normal install' mode, if it detects a lack of privileges problem, because then it would not be a true 'portable' mode.
Feedback: in preferences, the "general/searches/results view/connection" left pane text looks really unprofessional IMNSHO.

thanks for the feedback. Do you think the text is just too large in the left pane? Attached is a screenshot with a re-worked font size. is that better in your opinion?
thanks!

Bit Che 2.0 build 18 - beta
Note: this .zip is has a preconfigured 'settings.ini' designed to be ran as portable mode and force the prompts for script updates, allowing you to test the new 'details' options.
extract this to a writeable folder, such as a new folder on your desktop.
fixed: new error messages if Bit Che detects the 'settings.ini' is not writeable (ex, you run Bit Che with the 'settings.ini' and force portable mode in a protected directory) (thanks finite!)
fixed: new error messages if Bit Che could not write the data to a file or could not create the temporary folders (related to issue above) (thanks finite!)
fixed: opening "App Data" folder from the menu when you have launched Bit Che as a different user than the current Windows user (ex: launched as Admin from a Standard user account)
fixed: reduced the font size of the Preferences navigation menu (thanks finite!)
keep the bug reports and design feedback coming! THANK YOU!
enjoy!!

Hey chip.
I have grabbed the new version and will test when I can..
Re the preferences pane, the new font is much better.
BUT you know what, I think it would look better as a tabbed dialog.
With General/Searches/results view/connection as the tab titles.
Here's an example to show what I mean..

finite,
thanks for the feedback. not exactly sure why, but for whatever reason, i've never been a fan of tabs for preferences.. but i'm open to everyone's input!! :) my favorite options right now is 'Google Chrome'.. so I might try to design the selector a little more like those 'settings' before I move to a 'tabbed' interface.
looking forward to your other feedback and anyone else's too! :)
thanks!!

A Google Chrome design would be AWESOME!

Hi,
testing BitChe beta here on linux fedora 64bits and wine.
Old BitChe used to work just fine (and still does) on my system but with the beta there is no effect on clicking "updating scripts" or starting a search. Just nothing happens.
For reference i tested Beta 16 to 18 with wine 1.4.x and with the new wine 1.5
wine spits out the following errors in console when launching BitChe Betas:

I consider filing a bug report to wine but for a beta version i am not sure they'll move on it. Maybe it's just the right windows or other dll to add to my wine install. Anything i can try?
-
sheepdestroyer, thanks for your feedback. i've unlocked your account too :)
I did test the early Bit Che 2.0x builds with Wine on MacOSX and initially I had some WinHTTP errors and filed tickets with Bugzilla (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26353 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26353)) and it was fixed.
Per my notes:
Workaround is: "winetricks winhttp"
Here is a quick google related to Spotify that might work here: http://itechlog.com/easy-tips/2011/10/07/spotify-crashes-in-linux-under-wine/#comment-2567 (http://itechlog.com/easy-tips/2011/10/07/spotify-crashes-in-linux-under-wine/#comment-2567)
Does that help? :)
-
Yep, worked like a charm!
Thank you, back to testing it now :)
PS : and i am definitely "telling my friends about Bit Che" ;) Thkx for the activation
-
hello
i used Bit Che for over 4 yrs! but in 2 months or so i can't search anything
in piratebay or isohunt maybe cuz the "magnet" thing.
anyway i tried the new 2.0 build 18 beta .. and it gives me force close !?
(http://i.imgur.com/dBPNm.png)
any help ?
PS: the old Bit Che works fine, and im windows 7 32bit
-
hi modi84, welcome to the forums.
well that is very strange! I haven't seen a FC yet with the new beta.
If you dont mind helping me, I'm going to create a special debug beta so I can see the last line that was ran and hopefully figure out what crashed.
If so, should I post it here for you or email ?
Thanks
Chip
-
hi chip! :)
u can post it here
-
Since your advice for fixing wine, i can now update the scripts ans make searches but i spotted a least 3 bugs :
- after i make a search, when i double click a result (no matter which one) it's always a random (it seams) result which is opened (always the same) and no matter how many time i retry or try to click an other line form the result list, always the same result opens. Very often (almost always) one from demonoid.
- if i deactivate demonoid script, then an other random result will be picked up when clicking an entry from the result list (again, not the one i clicked), if that random result appens to try to connect to torcache.net then BitChe crashes (every times).
- i can not navigate the result list with the up/down keys of my keyboard
i don't have any of this bugs on Windows
-
Hi Chip,
Using build 18 and it looks brilliant - much cleaner interface than v1.0!
Haven't come across any bugs yet (using Win7 x64 and utorrent). Only problem I had was Webroot Security Essentials thought you were a virus - I have informed them it is a false positive!
Keep up the fantastic work!
Neil
-
hi chip! :)
u can post it here
modi84, thanks!
please download this attached Bit_Che.exe. put it in your previous beta directory. after you run it, it will produce an "error.txt". then please send it to me, either here or email.
thanks in advance,
Chip

thanks neil!! :) I am now using the opensource UPX packer to reduce the file size. not sure why webroot would flag it, but I appreciate you sending the false positive! :)

hi sheepdestroyer
strange errors indeed on Wine. I understand them and I will try to test with my Mac OSX. I have no idea at this point if those are Wine specific bugs.. if so, we'll have to flag detailed bug reports with Wine. But let me do some testing first before we do that.

modi84,
so when does it crash?
from your screenshot, it looked like it crashed right away on start up.. but the log looks like it had processed a search request?
I didnt add debug stuff that far into the code path because from the screen shot it looked like it was crashing right away upon start up. so i need to understand a little more whats going on for you and then i can create a 2nd debug version.
thanks in advance,
chip

FC when doing scrape on magnet links

FC when doing scrape on magnet links
weird, seems to work fine for me. can you see if there is a pattern for crashing on a certain 'tracker' that is scraped?
also, can you right click on the tracker and do 'copy to clipboard' then paste the tracker here? like this:
udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80
EDIT: I will continue to test this.
does anyone else have or not have this problem? (scraping trackers from a magnet).

edit:
1. Are you on Windows 7 with Service Pack 1? I just tested on a Win 7 32bit with SP1 and it does not crash for me.
2. What anti-virus software are you using?
-
1. Yes, Win 7 Ultimate 32bit Service Pack 1.
2. i have 2
- Avira Free Antivirus .. in protection mode all the time.
- Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware .. deactivated for now
and thanks 4 ur time :D

ok thanks! if you dont mind, can you try a few things for me in the meantime until I can get the next debug version ready:
1.
a. delete "settings.ini" from the folder and try starting up Bit_Che.exe -- does it crash right away?
b. update scripts, do search, at that point it crashes for you? and then it crashes at start up? then try step a. and see if it starts again without crashing.
2. when you have Bit Che crashing upon every startup, can you try disabling Avira and then starting Bit Che again? I just want to rule out the antivirus from any memory protection issues.
thanks! hope to have another debug version later tonight.

1.
a. 90% usually crash right away.
b. sometimes i can update it but it crashed!.
2. i tried and the same thing happen.
i noticed something .. when i open Bit Che with "error.txt" you give it to me yesterday
always crash but in 10 time i open it, 1 time works fine! i can search and everything! ???
-

In my experience, if there is a bug in the Bit Che code, then the application will crash 100% of the time. But when the code crashes sometimes or behaves differently occasionally, *usually* this means there is a problem with the host computer environment instead. I tend to look at antivirus software first.
If your computer was mine, it would do a bunch of tests.. such as try to run Bit Che in "Safe-Mode" (reboot the computer first, hit F8, then boot "Safe Mode"). In that environment, we can pretty much guarantee that no 3rd party software is tinkering with Bit Che (because antivirus is *fully* disabled, etc).
Then, from standard boot mode, I would also check the Windows Application log for any strange entries that are produced every time Bit Che crashes:
1. right click on "Computer" from the "Start Menu"
2. select "Manage"
3. then go to this view: "Computer Management | System Tools | Event Viewer | Windows Logs | Application"
I'm not sure if you have the patience to do those tests for me, but if you do, that might help us narrow down whats causing the crash (if it is truly not a problem with the Bit Che code).
But since you said that it did run OK 1 time, I'm not really sure that the debug version is going to help us since whatever the issue is, its not 100% reproducible. Also, we have not been able to confirm those bugs on anyone else's system and it ran fine on my Win 7 32bit test machine.
let me know your thoughts, thanks!
chip :)
-
modi84,
new idea... lets try and track down the Windows error report! :)
STEP 1
1. download the attached AppCrashView.exe
2. run it, and select any entries that are "bit_che.exe" (hold shift to select multiple items)
3. go to File, and "Save Selected Items"
4. save this file and upload the .txt here to me :)
STEP 2
1. download the attached WinCrashReport.exe
2. Run Bit_Che.exe and get it to crash. Do not press "Close Application"!!
3. with the crash window still displayed, run WinCrashReport.exe and select "bit_che.exe"
4. go to File, and "Save This Crash Report"
5. save this file and upload the .txt here to me :)
and can you repeat this Step 2 a couple times.. that way I can compare a few reports.
then hopefully we'll have a good idea of why its crashing.. !!
thanks in advance!
-
entered the save mode .. and Bit Che works good!! :o
oh and i replace my "Avira Antivirus" to "ESET NOD32" lol ;D
.
.
.
.txt
-
ok... from the AppCrash log, looks like this module was causing a problem: 'zlibwapi.dll'.
now, i was using a compressed version of this file to cut down on file size.
but here is the uncompressed version (attached)..
can you replace this attached file with the ones in this location:
C:\Users\Modi84\AppData\Roaming\Convivea\Bit_Che\zlibwapi.dll
and if you still use these paths for the bit_che beta:
C:\Users\Modi84\Desktop\New folder\
C:\Users\Modi84\Desktop\b\
separately, i'll work on a new debug version that specifically targets when Bit Che interacts with that .dll
thanks for your help!! :)
-
and finally.. here is a revised debug version of Bit_Che.exe that will avoid calls to zlibwapi.dll if its not loaded. this will not download and extract scripts if the zlibwapi.dll is not loaded.
can you send me the error.txt :)
thanks!
-
at first i replace zlibwapi.dll in all 3 folders .. nothing change :-[
now i tried the new Bit Che .. same old same old crash :-\
.................... the error.txt
Edit: and thank you for being so patient with me :)
-
well, guess its not a problem with that one :)
so, now lets test one of the bigger changes from 1.x to 2.x, the new listview.
attached is an .rar with 4 .exes
1. Bit_Che_debug.exe
2. Bit_Che_debug_nosubclass.exe
3. Bit_Che_debug_nosubclass_noOIP.exe
4. Bit_Che_debug_nosubclass_noOIP_noLV.exe
can you run them all one at a time, and save error.txt to error#.txt where # is the 1,2,3,4?
thanks ;D
-
finally just the first one "Bit_Che_debu" works good but kinda laggy!
.
.
.
.
.
-
do 2,3,4 all crash still ? but #1 doesnt crash?
EDIT: also, are you still using the application "Internet Download Manager"? One of that programs's modules is loaded into Bit Che because that is putting a system wide hook in place. If you do not need it, can you uninstall so we can continue testing Bit Che without 3rd party files being loaded too. (afterwards, you could always re-install that app if you need it)..
C:\Program Files\Internet Download Manager\idmmkb.dll
-
yes 2,3,4 all crash
after uninstall IDM what i do ? :)
-
yes 2,3,4 all crash
after uninstall IDM what i do ? :)
the idea is to see if that changes anything.. or if Bit Che still crashes with that removed.
i guess the good news for me is that the new ListView is not crashing Bit Che, but I'm a little perplexed as to why #1 works fine. I'll have to continue to look at it later tonight / this weekend.
thanks for your patience! :)
-
after remove IDM nothing change, all the same as before
.

the errors
-
FC@ scrape magnet link form TPB

modi84
can you try the attached .exe? note: this will not create the error.txt
i am still working on this, but i am curios if the changes I have made thus far have fixed the problem or not :)
thanks
chip
-
still crashes :)
-
modi84,
can you go to this folder, and then .rar up all the folders that have bit che in the name? how many do you have?
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive
type this in either Start | Run or hit "Windows Key + R"
-
modi84,
here are 3 more test builds.. if one of these doesnt crash, then we are making progress :)
-
all crashes :-\
about "ReportArchive" there are 450+ folders !!
it's too much for you to handle it :-X
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
well something interesting in your logs.. more than half of the crashes are related to some file: "ShellIcon32.dll" which is not a Microsoft file, and does not exist on my system. Google searching for that file looks like a number of people are reporting it as a Trojan. My guess is that you are infected with something like this: http://home.mcafee.com/virusinfo/virusprofile.aspx?key=856739 (http://home.mcafee.com/virusinfo/virusprofile.aspx?key=856739)
Can you check these locations for "ShellIcon32.dll":
C:\windows\
C:\windows\system32\
If it exists, upload it to www.virustotal.com (http://www.virustotal.com)

modi84,
you are definitely infected with a spy trojan, which very closely resembles that one I posted from the mcafee database (above):

there could be other files, which the mcafee site has shown, but from that log, you were infected back in February 20, 2012.

the .rar file you posted says the ShellIcon32.dll is corrupt, so I'm not sure if you were able to submit to virustotal.com?
1. first boot back into Safe Mode
2. Move *all* of those files above into a new folder c:\infected
3. .rar them with a password AND encrypt the file names
4. use regedit to remove those Registry entries above
5. update MBAM and scan your computer
6. Reboot back into regular mode, send me the password protected .rar file.
7. I would try using the trial version of McAfee to scan your computer (I would never normally recommend McAfee, but unless we can confirm from virustotal that other antivirus products are detecting your trojan, then I must suggest using the one which we know detects it. I would also recommend using Microsoft Security Essentials to scan.)
note: if you are not familiar with any of these steps, then I will have to suggest you consult with a computer technician to help you clean your computer.
the only good news here is that for the past week I have been trying to fix a bug in Bit Che that does not exist :) So, when you clean your computer, Bit Che will work with no problems! :)

True chip, other than paying for a com. tech. I would suggest the factory restore disk which can be run in Safe Mode; correct me if I'am wrong.

I've decided to migrate to the beta since tpb search doesn't work in v1 anymore, and I've found a bug (I think): When you select either 'Numerics' or 'Both' under 'Show seeder/leech ratio as' in the 'Results View' "tab" in 'Preferences', no numbers are shown in the 'Ratio' column in the results. Altough the dots "graph" is shown just fine (I think, I don't quite understand the representation really) if you select 'Both', if you select 'Graphic' it actually shows numbers '^^
On a side note, I prefer to organize settings in tabs, but as long as settings are easy to find and the GUI's not horrible, I'm fine either way.
Thanks for such an useful program!

Long time fan and user of Bit Che, so I recently began playing with 2.0 beta. The new features are great and it worked flawlessly until I reformatted my PC from Win7x86 to Win7x64. Since then Bit Che occasionally becomes unstable and suddenly shuts down but is quick to recover. I'm new to x64 so it might take me a minute to TS, but I'll keep you informed if I learn anything helpful.
I chose to make this the first forum I've ever posted on because I think that you've built a BitChe'n community here and just want to say hey all... for what's worth.
I also have a feature request which I believe is worth considering. Adding another radio button and option on the third page of preferences like "Center Clicking a torrent opens: Source Page " would be amazing. I often like to look at comments before I download something, so I end up using the context menu much more than I would like. Making the middle button another soft mouse button like left double-click would be even more useful. I don't think you can have too many programmable keys as long as things remains stable, IMHO.
Thank you for all your time and effort, Chip! Never Quit!
-
Thanks Justin .. and welcome to the forums :)
I took your suggestion and incorporated it into the next build 19, except, the user can select any of the 'right click Context Menu' options as the action for 'Middle Click'
opps.. i called it Middle Click, not sure which it should be, Center or Middle?

Can't wait for the next beta!

Hello, is anybody using latest beta 18 in Windows 8 Release Preview? I had no issues with the build before (Consumer Preview, I guess) but now I can't even launch the app: double-click and nothing happens, process doesn't even launch, compatibility set to Windows 7 / Vista and administrator rights didn't change anything. Can anyone confirm this? ???

hi teorouge.. I haven't tested with Win8 yet but I was told it should work.
can you go to this folder, and then .rar/.zip up all the folders that have bit che in the name?
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive
type this in either Start | Run or hit "Windows Key + R"
then post it back here? I'll see if I can find out why its not starting.

I can do that if you want but I only have 2 entries related to setpoint.exe (Logitech mouse utility) and 1 to a Windows Defender report. Thing is I can't even see the process appear in Task Manager when I launch the app, no matter what OS compatibility mode/admin rights I set. Please note I don't have any other AV other than Microsoft Defender (in Windows 8 it integrates Microsoft Security Essentials functions) and I even added a rule to the Windows Firewall just in case: don't know what versions were using the ones you heard about but things were perfectly fine with previous build (<8400), now in Release Preview (8400 official by MS site) I can't do anything at all with BitChe and I really miss it. I even tried to download the zip again but to no avail. :(

teorouge
sounds like there aren't any error reports so its actually not loading and crashing. so dont bother sending me any of those reports.
but, can you check the Window's application log (shown in the screen shot) to see if any events are generated when you try to launch Bit Che?
ps, my guess is the problem lies with ms common controls module and a manifest conflict (simple fix once we have the correct files).

Nothing over there either, not in Applications or any other report. Just name the files you need, if I can provide I'll gladly send them.

hmm.. ok, how about, does the 2.0 beta work after you install Bit Che 1.0 build 60?
i'll download the 8400 preview release and give it a test. are you using x64 or x86?
-
Installed version 1 and latest Beta does work now... guess it just needs a few more files in the beta .zip. ;)

Honestly, I'd try it with a new installer with the required files before installing it over 1.0 build 60 on Windows 8. Shouldn't be that hard to whip one up that's fully UAC compliant and everything.

Featre request:
On the filter result make a checkbox named not containing or something. when we check it, it must hide all the results that have the word we have type. In that case if we are searching for a movie and we dont want to have cam quality we can use this with the word "cam"
what do you think?

great idea... i'll work on a toggle include/not include, although i'll have to update the entire 'search' code so it might not be a quick/easy change for me. but i'll see what i can do. thanks exo!
-
Exo.. I updated the filter to respond in the same way that the 'search' box handles keywords.. 'included -notincluded' so that way you can use one filter box and it will support both 'include these keywords' and '-remove -these -words' at the same time.
for example.. 'xvid -cam'
of course, you can remove entries with 'cam' from the initial search using '-cam'.
made a little more progress on Build 19 tonight. I've settled the way we will handle the 'Ratio' column. I will try to package in an actual setup/package.exe later this week.

I regularly notice an issue with torrets from KickAssTorrents.com
When I open torrent details from search results, the only info in the Torrent Details window in the Name column is "keep-aliveDa"
To open these torrents I always have to click 'Open Page' and then open the torrent from the website.
Is this an issue with the script?
Am using Bit Che 2.0 b18.

this might be a site script problem

thnx guys.. that required a script tweak and a engine tweak, they are playing with referrer requirements, but i got it working ;)

Hi,
I've been following the evolution of Bit Che for a while, that's a fine piece of software :)
Just a small remark with latest build 19, it seems the multi download (when selecting multiple entries, then open via right-click) has been broken compared to previous build.
It now only downloads the torrent/magnet on which the cursor is, not the other ones.
Cheers

i'm considering the current build 26 feature complete. no more changes to scripts/engine.. no new features (the rest of the wishlist can wait until 2.1)
working on getting the 'user account' scripts working right now.. and bug fixes.
plan is to have 2.0 replace 1.0 asap (even in its beta form).

"Use HOME" site isn't retained after Script update even if the home still exists and the script wasn't updated.
P.S.
Added mirrors to all the scripts.

2. fixes some url redirection bugs (sites that do not conform to http standards)
3. fixes HOME index being lost -- now saved after script pack update

bovski, thansk ;D did you have that script converter 1.0 to 2.0 laying around? or how about the GUI for the script editor? can we post those here to help users with the upgrade? I started a really simple 1.0 to 2.0 converter that did about 80%-90% of the conversion work, but I dont want to spend time on that if you already had made a better one :) I need to start focusing on the help and script engine docs.
also, i'm going to consider Build 27 a Release Candidate unless anyone can find any bugs that need to be smashed. I'll upload an installer tonight if no major bugs are reported today.
thanks

Oh, I havent got to the Special Login Tool yet..
but, I think its currently set to be in %APPDIR%\scripts\special.exe
and
[script]
pwd=1
version=2
special=1
no [login] or [special] for those scripts.
I think there is a good chance it will work on Build 27 but we can test and I'll update accordingly.
I'm not sure I can bake in "special.exe" since it uses special Internet Explorer references but that would be nice too.
-
i just did a quick test, but looks like Special Login Tool is not working.. I will have to do more testing (and/or fix) tomorrow.

Just wondering if it was the @home the special tool I used worked on the script for 1.60 but not on 2.0 RC1
[special]
page=@home/

Just wondering if it was the @home the special tool I used worked on the script for 1.60 but not on 2.0 RC1
[special]
page=@home/
post=@home/login
when special=1 flag is set in [script], no other .INI sections are needed. EDIT: not true, 1.0: [special] page= and 2.0 [login] login= is required.
the tool for 1.60 should "work" for 2.0 -- BUT -- how it is launched and the parameters I guess are incorrect with 2.0 RC1, so I have to take a look at it tonight. Possibly just incorporate special.exe into bit_che.exe instead of fixing whatever problem is currently there.
also note, @home can only be used inside the script code execution [code1] since its the engine itself that interrupts and translates.. but i can make changes if we need @home used elsewhere in the script config?
-
looking at this now.. looks like special.exe does require:
[special]
page=the page
... looking into this more.
problem is special.exe requires a bunch of dependencies and I'm not sure I can come up with work arounds in order to incorporate directly with bit_che.exe... :-\
-
well... i have a beta test that incorporates Special into Bit_Che.exe and its working on my system. ill post it in a few but definitely will need testing.
also, to keep things consistent, here's what change i made:
[script]
pwd=1
version=2
special=1
[login]
login=http://www.url.com

build 28 -- attached here.
incorporates 'special.exe'
testers only please! :)
i included that webop script in a 'converted' script pack.. no idea if the script itself works, but when you try to enable it or right click 'Edit User Account' it will display the 'Special Login Tool'.
we need testers on that because i'm not confident it will work on all systems (main reason why it was always a 2nd module from bit_che.exe)

With Build 27, I seem to no longer be abloe to click on a column header (e.g. Seeders, Size, etc) to change sort order?

here is b31(very minor update to b29 & b30 :)).. no 'special.exe' required.. which allows private sites to use the 'Special Login Tool'.

ok thanks! :)
going to now focus on only bug fixes and finishing touches in order to get another stable RC version pushed to replace 1.0.

My first impression? Inhospitable to Bit Che 1.0.
Since at the moment they use 2 different script sets, BC 2.0 shouldn't completely mess up any older installation.
I guess I assumed a non-install version meant it wouldn't drop files anywhere else.
I tried to run v1 and all my settings are gone, my passwords, my columns are a mess, etc.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to have BC2 install into a different directory and create a new settings.ini there just for itself.
Trying to get a grip on the new scripting language, but removing BC2 for now if keeping it means doing without BC1. :-\
-
Make them both Portable(portable=1) and put them somewhere with write access.
They don't play nice together(both running at the same time) but run fine individually.

yes.. it is true there was no design goal to allow bc2 to run side-by-side with bc1 since that version is no longer being 'officially' supported. bc2 attempts to upgrade and use as many settings as possible to make the transition as smooth as possible.
if you prefer bc1, then you can:
a) restore the backup of bc1 settings: 'settings.ini.bak' to continue using bc1
b) then run bc2 from its own directory by putting 'settings.ini' in the same dir as bit_che.exe (for bc2 you do not have to set a portable=1 flag like you do for bc1).
bc2 adapts to your system.. you run it without install and it sets up its camp in its proper place (default).. if you include the 'settings.ini' with it, then it acts as portable. no fuss.. it just works.
design wise, i guess options would be to move from 'convivea\bit_che\' to 'convivea\bit_che2\' or move to 'settings2.ini' but i'm not sure that's smart. we haven't had many people throughout the betas concerned about running them side-by-side. and going forward, we will have less and less people concerned once they have bc2 up and running.
for the new scripting language, its basically the same as before, except just the functions are now more user friendly (easier names), and variable handling is much more powerful. the goal was to be far easier to learn and less confusing than bc1..

Am using Build 27 and am often seeing in the torrent details window, in the name column "max-age=60, must-revalidateConnecti"
This seems to only be from IsoHunt.com

Thanks for the info. Will try v2.0 again as soon as possible.
I do like the changes in the new version. Being able to run 1.0 while transitioning scripts to 2.0 will make things easier.
Is there any sort of list of changes in the language yet? I've noticed some short hand that confused me. Mostly because BC2 seemed able to recognize what it was looking for without guidance from the script as long as it had the correct array.

Just grabbed b31 and found torrents that repro'd the same behaviour.
Another issue I'm seeing more of is torrents searches returning HTML code, e.g. <td class='row3' id-name18> and again, the source of these torrents appears to almost always be isohunt.com

Yes there is a bit of a problem with the script I have edited the script on GitHub but it doesn't seem to update in BitChe.

bovksi: looks like you made an edit to your private fork.. which is why it didnt trigger the sync update with Bit Che.
all: i just edited that script up a little and appears working for me, but please test and let me know :)
PS: if you are still having that error when viewing .torrents, it looks like isohunt might be having issues with the servers. here is the error i get from my browser:
'Sorry, (1) isoHunt is either not hosting this .torrent or the torrents cache is currently down, please check back a bit later.'

thanks Cuf, we'll have to make a summary of changes for v2.
if you see something like:
$size=array(@q,2)
$seeds=array(@q,3)
$leeches=array(@q,4)
what its doing is taking the entire array, scrubbing all HTML (which happens automatically on a $variable save) and then putting the result in the $variable. most of the time, this works for tables where theres no other info/text in a given table column (or array element).

That's just really cool stuff.

next build -- RC 2 (build 32) has been posted.
- few more polished details (such as when .torrent is not loaded)
- better error HTTP 404 detection/support
- fixed support for POST search request (proper merge with @home URL)
- working 'eztv.it' script
- improved Script Debugger for FINDH -- on halting, now alerts to which parameter was not found and gives option to restart
- improved script header config -- allows 'referer', 'login', 'preloginurl' to be merged with @home URL

Why do I have a private fork ? still haven't worked out git hub seems a strange way of doing things using a third party site.
Your isohunt script has a bug
the line $torrent=replace($page,`isohunt.com/torrent_details/`,`isohunt.com/download/`)should be$torrent=replace($page,`/torrent_details/`,`/download/`)or it wont work on mirrors.

Love the new version...but any chance of getting cmd line support added back? I used to be able to pass search arguments.

weird.. should still be active since the URL search handler uses it... bc://test
but i will look into it :)

private fork? you made it before I added you to the main repository :)
using github because
1. i did not have time to develop my own database
2. open source scripts -- people can use them in other programs if they want
3. github allows online editing and syncs great
4. trying to open up bit che -- people can have their own githubs.. their own script packs.. hosted at their own site.

true, i'll fix this if you dont get to the edit first :)
