Show tracker info in Tracker column using RemoteUI regardless of tracker contact

Open Ryrynz opened this issue 6 years ago • 7 comments

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.12, Windows 10, Chrome

What is the problem

Tracker column is blank if the tracker has not been contacted

What is the expected behavior

I'd like to see the tracker in the Tracker column regardless of whether the tracker has been contacted or not. Perhaps this is how it's wanted though?

Ideally show the tracker name regardless, if not contacted it can be given a different color or a Tracker Status column can be added or both.

I can't reproduce this. Can you post a screenshot of your issue?

If I start the torrent the tracker field fills out, if it hasn't been contacted then the only way I can view it is by clicking on the tracker tab if Status column in torrent details pane is "Not contacted"

I see what you mean now. The Tracker column displays the value of libtorrent::torrent_status::current_tracker, which is the "URL of the last working tracker"[0]. I believe this is working as intended.

Can another Tracker column option be added that show's the tracker regardless? Perhaps rather than relying on blank or filled out text colors could be used to indicate status?

I believe the Trackers tab is a better fit for this data. It's able to display multiple trackers and metrics for each (tracker status, # connection, # seeds, # peers, etc), rather than a column with a single url. What would it display when there are multiple trackers?

What's your use case? You may be able to use categories to your advantage.

I'm used to seeing this in uTorrent. It displays whatever the top/first tracker is I believe. Basically this would assist with categorization. I already use categories.
