New
Fixed
I know, I know, we just had an update and there are still a lot of bugs! Well, me and a few buddies did a little dev jam and I came up with working on my Discord bot (for TorBox). It took me about 12 hours to get it to this point, and I am pretty happy with it. I will resume with fixing more bugs (yes, I did fix some) now.
TorBox now has a Discord bot! This is a public bot that can be used anywhere. It's a little limited in functionality, but the main reason for having it around are Discord notifications. But, you can also add torrents on the go as well. This is basically a substitute for the mobile app.
The main reason for using TorBox are the notifications. If you are like me, I always have Discord open, or I get notifications on my phone when I am away from my computer. This helps a lot, especially when most of the alerts for TorBox are done through Discord webhooks.
As long as your account is linked, and you share a server with the TorBox bot, you can get notifications by DM. It will send you a notification instantly, no waiting around for notifications.
If you want to opt out of these notifications, you can disable the setting on the TorBox settings page, by clicking the switch on the Discord Notifications option. You can also just block the bot for awhile if you are lazy like me.
You can also view your torrents, which is cool to share the status of your torrents to others. Show off that ratio baby!
Use the /list command for this.
If the torrent is ready to download, you can also download the torrent, simply by clicking on the name of the torrent.
You can also add new torrents! I am not sure if this has ever been done before, but you can upload files and magnet links (even torrent file links) to the bot, and it will add it to your account!
Use the /add command for this.
Accepts either a magnet link, or torrent file. You cannot do both at the same time.
Works as intended!
Fixes streams not showing up. I know right? How could I let that happen. IDK!
Speeds up scraper capabilities.
Loosened restrictions on matching media names, meaning that more torrents will show up. The value is still matched at 85% so if a name 85% matches the torrent name then it will pass. Before, it was at 95%.
