v4.9

v4.9 is easily our largest quality of life update of the year! We listened to your complaints, feature requests and issues, and decided to fix and implement nearly every one of them! The biggest feature request so far has been our search. Lately you would have a hard time finding exactly what you needed, with the biggest issue being by far, the torrent search. We decided to team up with Orion, who specializes in exactly that, to provide our searches for us.

Stremio Addon

  • “Your Media” in stream list selects all files that match, rather than just the first, which led to issues.

  • Fixes double (and triple) adding of torrents and Usenet downloads inside of the Stremio addon! This was an issue that affected nearly every addition of non-instant downloads, and was taking up a slot.

    • For those of you curious, the issue was that Stremio always sends a HEAD request when getting video (for getting pre-loaded information about the file), which was interpreted in our Stremio Addon as requesting the video over again. We simply deny HEAD requests and it works fine. Stremio will still work without the HEAD requests as the video information is delivered on success of the GET request (which we actually care about). You can read more about the issue here.

  • Adds Dutch language filter.

  • Stremio now relies on the Search API which uses TorBox’s new Voyager search engine.

Website

  • Usenet credentials are now a little smarter, and won’t allow you to copy asterisks as your password anymore. It will also give an error when attempting to copy your password if not reset.

  • Adds Seanime Integration to integrations page.

  • Adds POV Kodi Addon Integration to integrations page.

  • Adds Jacktook Kodi Addon logo to integrations page.

  • Removes Dropbox Integration from integrations page.

  • Adds Orion Integration to integrations page.

  • Removes Dropbox Integration from download page.

  • Adds torrent file downloading. This allows you to download the files as a torrent, meaning you can use it through a seedbox or other applications that use .torrent files.

  • 1Fichier and GoFile integrations now show upload progress. This is helpful for monitoring their progress, as they used to only show 0% until completion or failure.

  • Removed VLC “Open In Player” option due to the lack of deep linking.

  • Hides Stremio “Open In Player” option on mobile devices due to it not being supported on mobile, only desktop. Read this issue for more.

  • Adds filter for Dutch language for Stremio in the settings.

  • Torrent and Usenet search both got an upgrade! Uses TorBox’s new Voyager search engine, which uses Orionoid.

    • Searches are now restricted to only paid users. This is due to the cost and quality of Orionoid, and our partnership with them.

    • Searches now show if the torrents are cached, right in the UI meaning you can pick instantly ready to download files.

    • Searches now also show if you already have the file in your TorBox account. This makes picking new downloads much easier and takes out the guesswork.

Service

  • Removes Dropbox integration due to production level status requiring approval. The app was attempted to be verified but denied, disallowing any further attempts due to possibility of piracy.

  • If a torrent contains a video file, the entire download will not be zipped. This is to prevent issues with Stremio and other streaming services connected to TorBox.

  • Allows HEAD requests on download files.

  • Speeds up processing times.

    • Only calculates the MD5 hash of files that require it such as .exe, .msi, .py, and other virus prone files.

    • Speeds up zipping process by not compressing. Gives over a 5x speed boost.

Search API

  • The search API got a huge upgrade and has lots of breaking changes!

  • The search API now uses Orion in the background. Orion (or Orionoid) is a link provider which provides high quality magnet links, .torrent file downloads, and .nzb file downloads, with over 109 Million links in their database to search from all part of your paid TorBox plan!

    • This means much faster search speeds, much higher quality results, and better sorting.

  • BREAKING CHANGE: Meta search changed endpoint locations to /meta/search, following the structure of the following new endpoints.

  • Usenet search allows you to search by query at /usenet/search. Output is exactly the same as searching by ID but uses a simple query instead for full text search. API DOCS.

  • Torrent search allows you to search by query at /torrents/search. Output is exactly the same as searching by ID but uses a simple query instead for full text search. API DOCS.

  • You can now pass check_cache, which allows you to easily check if any items in your search are cached by TorBox and instantly ready to download. This is available on all endpoints except the /meta routes. API DOCS.

  • You can now pass check_owned, which allows you to easily check if any items in your search are already in the user’s TorBox account. This is useful so you can possibly remove these items or label them for users so they don’t add duplicates. API DOCS.

  • BREAKING CHANGE: All searches other than the /meta now require authentication with a paid account.

API

  • BREAKING CHANGE: Removes /torrents/search from the main API. This is due to wanting to consolidate all searching to a single API.

  • Allows requesting to download a download as a .torrent file. Simply passing the torrent_file parameter will download the requested file as a .torrent file, for use anywhere. API DOCS.

  • Using the all parameter when controlling downloads (deleting, re announcing, etc) will queue the operation, due to the amount of time required to process all of a user’s downloads. Affects all /controlXXXX endpoints.

  • You can now directly queue torrents without going through checks. This is useful if you just want to queue up a few torrents over a few requests. You can send the as_queued parameter to /torrents/createtorrent and it will be added as queued. API DOCS.
