How to install QBittorrent search plugins on a seedbox? (lemm.ee)

Hi all! I have a Feral seedbox that runs QBit and can't seem to install search plugins. I've tried a few things:

  • From the unofficial search plugins page, open the raw python for 1337x and paste its URL into QBit after opening Search plugins > Install new plugin > Plugin path.
  • Download that same .py file and FTP it to my seedbox. In Plugin path, enter ~/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3/engines/one337x.py
  • Restart Qbit, since the above is my plugins directory anyway, so maybe it will detect the new plugin. Nope.

Am I missing something stupid? The "official" instructions tell me to browse for a local file, but there's no file browser in this version of QBit (4.3.9 if it matters).

What's driving me crazy is I'm pretty sure I've successfully done this before. I know I can use Jackett (or Sonarr), but the first feels unfinished and buggy and the the second is way more than I need for my use case.

Does anyone here use Qbittorrent search plugins and see what I'm screwing up? Thanks!

That path you FTP it to, what is it it's full path? Is Qbit running on the same user as that "~" is taking you to?

Yep, it's on the same Feral server and account. I tried a direct link too. That was: /media/sdy1/myusername/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3/novaprinter.py

I did think that would work since I needed a direct link to install a skin, but no joy.

So skins work but plugins not?

What's the python version in that plugin?does it have a hash bang python version at the start of the file? What python version do you have installed on that server? Does the plugin need python deps?

The 1337x plugin wants Python 3.6.0. My slot had 2.x, so I updated to 3.9. But, the plugin also wants Qbit 4.4.x. Feral always installs 4.3.9 with a --noupdateflag, since that's the version they've tested. I figured I was beat, but just for fun tried to install another plugin that my requirements met. That didn't work either 😂

At that point, I reinstalled Jackett and added 1337x. Which wouldn't work without installing FlareSolverr, which requires Docker, which is unsupported on Feral since it needs root. Nice!

Another commenter noted I could just use Prowlarr (and I was going to) but that also requires Docker, so this story has a sad ending. That ending is me pasting in magnet links from another tab and wishing for three hours of my life back...

You're right. For Prowlarr, not sure why I thought that. It installed no problem, but thinking about it more, doesn't do anything for me since there is no difference between searching in Prowlarr and in some browser tab 😂

For flaresolverr, when I run the binary, I get this: [3288970] Error loading Python lib '/media/sdy1/myusername/flaresolverr/libpython3.11.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by /media/sdy1/myusername/flaresolverr/libpython3.11.so.1.0)

I don't know Linux, but an AI search indicates flaresolverr wants to update GLIBC (a GNU library) and that could break shit. That's where I chose to stop before, but I'll ask Feral. At this point, I'm committed.
