I'm working to contribute code revisions for Andrew Grumet's Radio Userland tool integrating RSS and BitTorrent. These are my notes. Changes are listed by tool code sections.
Notes:
|
|
There is something about the downloadEnclosure code in the MacOS X version of Radio that is having a problem with ".torrent" as a file type. It will download enclosures of other types fine.
|
|
|
More testing has found a snag with allowed file types on the "cloud". I'm running my own RCS and noticed that .torrent files were not allowed, so I couldn't upstream or download them as enclosures. I made the change and now I can dowload files that end in .torrent, but the
sample feed
is giving me some problems, I'm presuming at this point due to the .zip.torrent file extension.
|
|
|
I'm going to write parts or all of the tool (with Andrew's permission, of course) to integrate some code I was sent to get around the long file name issue.
|
bitTorrentIntegrationSuite.init
|
|
added code to call a file system navigation dialog to let the user point to their copy of BitTorrent. We can use this later to help determine exact type of PC/Mac it's running on. This helps us especially with the MacOS X version--some people download a Cocoa app instead of the native Python code.

Removed this code in the short term. More on why later
|
|
|
All added code in this section is commented by me with reasons why.
|
bitTorrentIntegrationSuite.osspecific.launchBT
|
|
added if-else statement with a call to the system.enviroment table to find if we are running Windows or Mac. Important for multi-os support.
