ERROR - Can't start torrent2http on RPI3 + KODI 18.3

[lpt2007]

Hi,

I get this error when I try to start movie on raspberry pi 2 + kodi 18.3 (xbian):

I cannot test this, so I will try to help you with some known problems that could occur on some systems, so you can check on yours.

• check if firewall is enabled on your system (on linux this is usually iptables) I would check this first because of this error: [Errno 111] Connection refused
• check if torrent2http binary have execution right (binnary is stored on your system here: /home/xbian/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.kodipopcorntime/resources/bin/)

if this is all ok, there could be some changes in Kodi 18.3 that could be blocking torrent to run.

Probably there some changes in kodi 18.3. I try on KODI 17.6 and plugin is working.

How to modify plugin to work with kodi 18?

How I can test torrent2http if working correctly?

thx in advance for help

[markop159]

I am using plugin with kodi 18.3 on windows and on RPI2 with OSMC installed. I do not think that there is a problem with kodi 18. I still think that there is some change in OS (enabled firewall).

• torrent2http has +x permission.
• torrent2http seems working. But the addon cannot recognize it is running (at least it seems so) and logs failure as error: [Errno 111] Connection refused. Verified this with a ps -ef | grep torr. And this process is not an orphan or legacy of a different process. It is observed to be created exactly the moment you interact with the addon and select a proper link. And dies (10 secs) after you hit cancel while the addon UI says "Fetching Information"

Fixed this issue in latest release 1.7.3, the problem was with new version of Linux which does not allow to connect via localhost IP address if you do not bind the listening port to IP: 127.0.0.

If you have installed it via my repository it should start updateing shortly, if it does not start just check for new addon updates in Kodi.

I get the same error ([Errno 111] Connection refused) on 1.7.3

I am running https://libreelec.tv/ on a laptop.
Also tried to set execution permissions on torrent2http.

[MantasR]

Figured this out :D

Apperantly my ISP was blocking server. So changing DSP settings to google solved it.

In case anyone else has same problem on LibreElec:
In my case I have eddited /etc/resolv.conf and set first 2 nameservers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
The third one was set to localhost, so I left it as is.

Had same issue on win 10 x64.
After installation the was no folder for x64 created, it only had x86 so it kept saying it cant find torrent2http.
I have manually copied
windows_x86
folder and renamed that copy to
windows_x64
It did the trick and now it works.
Full path is:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.kodipopcorntime\resources\bin\windows_x64
