Another heavily focused web player update! This nearly completes the web player in terms of features that we are going to add. This also adds a bunch of quality of life updates that many users requested.

Website

• Web player gets “Up Next” dialogue once you have finished watching a stream.

  • This will stay on your screen until you dismiss it, or perform one of the actions.

  • One of the actions is “Show List” where it will show a list of all video files, including the currently playing file. This currently playing file will be highlighted in TorBox green.

    • Clicking on the name of any file will begin the stream for this file.

    • When clicking on a file, it will keep the same resolution, subtitle and audio settings as currently if available.

  • Clicking on “Play” will play the next up file.

  • This also shows a thumbnail for the next video.

  • Showing this feature can be enabled or disabled in the settings.

  • When clicking play, it will keep the same resolution, subtitle and audio settings as currently if available.

• Web player also gets a post-video screen. This screen will show when your video ends. This shows you a next up, current video information, and file list widgets allowing you to quickly watch the next video, or pick any video you like.

• When going AFK on the web player, it no longer resets the player.

• Adds torrent health check action to active torrents. This may take awhile to gather but will show you the current peers and seeds accurately. This used to be a tool, but now it is built directly into the dashboard for a better user experience and ease of use.

  • With this tool, you can know for sure whether TorBox can see any seeds for this torrent.

• Makes the sort descending by default. This was a problem for users who selected a sort option in the settings and cannot change direction.

• Adds setting for choosing a default web player scrobbling option. This option is off by default.

• Adding torrents now takes a little bit longer, but will show errors if there was a problem when adding the download.

• Adds Re-Download action to inactive downloads. This allows you to automatically re-download failed, inactive, expired, incomplete, or missing downloads.

  • This doesn’t apply to all inactive downloads. Read here for more information.

• Adds “Copy Name” tool to all downloads.

• Adds loading indicators to exporting .torrent and copying full magnet.

• Fixes action panel not being fully visible/usable on inactive usenet and web downloads.

API

• Adds “use_cache_lookup” parameter to the /torrentinfo endpoint(s). This allows for quick re-lookups, if you find your users or self requesting the same hashes/magnets/files constantly. API DOCS.

• Adds “peers_only” parameter to the POST /torrentinfo endpoint. If trackers are found in the magnet or torrent file, TorBox will search the trackers for the peers and seeds information which is usually faster than contacting DHT for the information. As soon as all trackers are contacted and data is returned, TorBox will immediately respond with the seeds and peers without attempting to find the torrent name, size and files. API DOCS.

  • If the “peers_only” parameter is not sent, but trackers are still found, and the attempt to return full metadata fails, TorBox will instead respond with a successful partial response including the hash, trackers, seeds and peers, while name, size and files will be null.

  • This can be useful for applications who only want to get a quick look at the peers and seeds rather than requiring all of the information from DHT.

Search API

• Fixes NZBHydra2 BYOI searches not showing size, indexer, or files.

Web Downloads/Debrid

• Fixes Twitch downloads.

• Fixes PikPak downloads.

Service

• Processing of files should now be around 25% faster than before.
