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?
