Hi,
First thanks for taking the time to write this.
#
I’m trying to strip out existing (dead) trackers from torrent files and replace them with known good ones. But, changing trackers in the announce-list results in a corrupted (non-working) announce-list. [You can change the "announce" tracker successfully.]
For testing I’ve been using the MX-19.2_x64.iso torrent file. It seems to be no longer available, but similar files are at https://mxlinux.org/torrent-files/ .
Output testing is by loading into qBittorrent v4.2.3 and checking the “Trackers” tab. All tests fail by not loading the changed "announce-list" tracker to the Tracker List in qBittorrent.
See toradd.py code at bottom. I’ve used “pytp” to visualize the outputed torrent files.
Request:
Have the code,
tracker_03a = 'http://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce'
data['announce-list'][0] = tracker_03a
correctly replace the tracker so that it loads successfully into qBittorrent.
Control pass:
Changes:
Straight read, no changes, and a write to separate file.
Results:
All trackers show up in qBittorrent
