Version 8.3 makes our web streaming the most advanced player of all our competition while also giving it features equal to those of dedicated media servers, such as Plex and Jellyfin. This update brings in scrobbling, resolution changes, raw player streaming for mp4 files, and a fancy new “Pre-Stream Selector” which makes starting a stream much easier, giving you your available subtitles and episode options before you start watching!
This update also brings in Vouchers, which can be used as gifts, many UX improvements, and better overall performance for torrents! Please enjoy our latest update.
Adds scrobbling for Trakt, Anilist, Simkl and MyAnimeList. When streaming via TorBox’s web streaming feature, having linked at least one service, and streaming content that can be matched to an ID on an applicable service, TorBox will automatically update when you start and stop watching the content.
Starting a video within the first 10% will start “watching” the matched content on the service.
Once the video hits 80%, it will “complete” the matched content on the service.
This works with TV shows and movies, as you might expect.
If the file name cannot be matched to an ID on a service, nothing will be updated. Make sure the file names of your streaming content can be indexed and found on a service. TorBox does it’s best to attempt to match, but streaming content such as “E01.mkv” will be impossible to match to any content, and scrobbling will not work.
If you have multiple services linked to your TorBox account, TorBox will update as many services if possible.
You are required to link your Trakt, Anilist, Simkl, and/or MyAnimeList account(s) for this feature to work. This can be done on the website via the scrobbling popup in the player.
Adds ability to change resolution of the stream. This means that if you are on a slow connection, you can transcode a 2160p (4k) stream down to 720p. This is not an automatic process, but this is available in the Pre-Stream Selector, as well as in the player, for changing on the fly.
You cannot upscale any video using this, only downscale.
Fixes thumbnails not properly showing up, and being replaced with default TorBox banner.
New scrobbling popup will allow you to view linked scrobblers, and link new ones as well.
This will show the metadata that is gathered, allowing you to see exactly what media your file is linked to for better accuracy.
Allows adding just torrent hashes, and it will be detected as a magnet.
Adds new refresh button to dashboard. This refreshes your dashboard manually without having to fully refresh the entire page.
Allows playing compatible files as raw, directly in the browser. This allows you to play .mp4 files without having to transcode them to play them in the browser.
This does prevent the use the captions or switching audio types, but there is a button to enable transcoding which switches the player to “transcoding mode”, to enable subtitles and audio switching.
This is available for all paid plans, but transcoding is still only available for Pro users.
Adds settings section for the web player settings, with descriptions and information about settings. Some settings only affect Pro users due to requiring transcoding (this is stated next to settings that require it).
Adds setting for enabling or disabling “Always Transcoding”. Enabling this means that TorBox will always transcode files played through the player. Keeping this disabled allows you to play browser compatible video files, such as .mp4 files.
Adds setting for choosing default language for subtitles, as well as a setting for choosing a default language for audio streams.
Adds setting for automatically skipping intros if applicable. If enabled, the web player will always skip the intro once you get to it. Only skips the first time you encounter the intro in the play session. If you decide to go backwards in the stream, it will not skip again.
Adds setting for our Pre-Stream Selector. This setting either disables or enables the selector, we recommend keeping it on though!
Adds Pre-Stream Selector which allows you to choose the correct settings for your stream before you begin, allowing you to modify the audio or subtitle language before opening the player! This will hopefully save you some time when watching streams.
The Pre-Stream Selector does not display for raw files, as there is no way to change audio or subtitles for the raw player.
No longer shows progress bars on inactive items.
Now shows removal reason on inactive items.
Adds Voucher payment section to the subscription page. This allows you to purchase, redeem, and view TorBox Vouchers. You can read more about the system here, as well as the terms of service of Vouchers here.
You are now able to purchase any TorBox plan (not including addons), at any duration, at any quantity sent to any TorBox user.
This is great for gifts, sharing, or giving away TorBox to other users!
Adds button for changing video zoom level. Similar to other players, you can change the zoom which makes certain videos look better depending on the device or screen. This is usually best in full screen for ultra-wide screens or for mobile devices (both due to their width). The available options are:
“original” for the original video ratio.
“fill” stretches to the edges while keeping the original aspect ratio.
“stretch” stretches to the edges while disregarding the original aspect ratio.
Adds button for changing video resolution. This allows you to transcode down the video you are watching to any lower resolution, while keeping the same aspect ratio.
Fixes intro bar not showing on some devices.
This is the green bar which shows on the timeline in the player where the intro starts or stops.
Adds better routing for Canadian users. Previously CA users were routed to our CNAM CDN, but now CA users to the east are routed to our ENAM CDN.
Usenet downloads now give better download states. Instead of being stuck at 100% download, it will show you if it is verifying, unpacking, repairing, or has failed in any of these stages.
The Tinfoil API is now back to running and works better than ever before (for the 5 people using it).
Usenet downloads are now more efficient resulting in less waiting times in a queue.
All public torrents now get trackers automatically added if none are there. This means that possibly dead torrents over DHT may find peers via trackers, without any additional input leading to a better user experience.
Queued downloads are now only checked every 3 hours, rather than the previous 1 hour. This is due to the increased number of them, and not being able to get through them in time, leading to an infinite queue where queued items eventually never were checked.
Automatically disables a CDN when performance is poor, and enables automatically when performance is back to normal.
Metadata responses now include "simkl_id” if found.
Metadata responses for anime results will now properly find anime database ID’s if possible when searched via IMDB, TMDB, TVMAZE, etc. This leads to better data accuracy.
Metadata responses now will use found IDs to search for other IDs recursively to get the best results.
Fixes Usenet searches not respecting season and episode in some cases.
Handles alternative Annas-Archive domains.
Fixes HAnime downloads.
Fixes Kemono and Coomer downloads due to domain changes.
Fixes Filepress downloads due to domain changes.
Fixes Scribd downloads.
Force starting queued downloads now immediately starts them, rather than adding them to the top of the queue (where they may be put further down later).
Force starting queued downloads now give proper errors if failed.
Fixes web downloads not respecting the “add_only_if_cached” parameter.
Fixes uploading some NZBs where they would not be added to TorBox.
Fixes NZB urls not giving correct file due to indexer detections. Many protections were put into place to prevent issues.
Lots of changes made to bump up to v2.0.0. If you are not on the latest version, you should upgrade as it comes with a few new features, bug fixes, and quality of life updates. You can read about the changes here.
