QGetMobile: Manage downloads on iOS/Android/WinPhone7/Nokia

[Serge75]

Well I'm not sure what I did but it seems to be working correctly now. I can connect normally using http without having to start safari first. I didn't change any settings but it now works.

Also, I can use https if I enter port 8080 (or leave it blank), but shouldn't https use port 443? I was entering 443 which is why it wasn't working. Sorry I'm not very net savy.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Serge

Hi,

The HTTPS port is set in your QNAP settings, so you can change it if you want

Glad to know that everything works fine.

In my QNAP general settings the system port is 8080 and the SSL port is 443 (both default values). Wouldn't I need to use port 443 for HTTPS on QGetMobile?

When I test this on my web browser to connect to my NAS port 8080 won't work with HTTPS but 443 will.

Hi,

OK, I will have a look at this.

Thanks Jérôme.

Let me know if you need any testing done.

Hi all,

It's been long awaited, but it's finally here: QGetMobile for Android !

The link does not work

Ok, downloaded and installed.

Some remarks after 1 hour using it:

• it's huge: 5.1 Mb. I'd prefer a smaller application, as it's purely utilitarian. No need for fancy splash screen, background image or buttons. I had to uninstall other apps to install it on my pretty full HTC Desire.
• the first time I started it, it froze. Android proposed me to force close it after some time. I did it and it worked immediately on the 2nd start.
• no problem to connect to my TS-210 NAS using http.
• the application seems to freeze from time to time, for about 10 seconds.
• I added 2 torrents from QGetMobile, they did not start. When I added them from my PC, using QGet, they worked
• as said already, the header for the 3 lists [run, paused, finished] are difficult to identify as such
• why the Browse the Web tab? I already have a browser on my HTC and can easily go from one to the other.
• can't QGetMobile register for torrent files, so they're immediately sent to QGetMobile?
• cannot browse the SD Card to import a torrent file stored on the card

That's it for now. I hope you'll find my remarks helpful.

Hi,

Thanks for your remarks, my answers below:

In 2010, 5mb shouldn't be a problem

It's just that Android has a stupid limitation to not install apps on the SD Card with several GB.

With Firmware 2.2, it won't be a problem.

the first time I started it, it froze. Android proposed me to force close it after some time. I did it and it worked immediately on the 2nd start.

You weren't patient enough. On first start, you have to wait for the APK to be extracted... and if you don't press anything, Android will not ask you to force close. It's probably because you press "back" or "home". The second start is quicker because everything is extracted. But if you force closed it the first time, maybe you're missing some files...

no problem to connect to my TS-210 NAS using http.

Good

the application seems to freeze from time to time, for about 10 seconds.

When you search for something ? Or when you just browse the web ?

I added 2 torrents from QGetMobile, they did not start. When I added them from my PC, using QGet, they worked

From where did you try to download the torrents ?

as said already, the header for the 3 lists [run, paused, finished] are difficult to identify as such

Yes, that's noted, I just didn't change the color yet. I focused on making the app work

why the Browse the Web tab? I already have a browser on my HTC and can easily go from one to the other.

can't QGetMobile register for torrent files, so they're immediately sent to QGetMobile?

First point answers the second one

cannot browse the SD Card to import a torrent file stored on the card

Nope, that will be added in another version.

That's it for now. I hope you'll find my remarks helpful.

Agreed that it's an Android limit, and I look forward to 2.2 to be released and available for the HTC Desire. I'm not yet ready to root it and use APP2SD.

It's probably because you press "back" or "home". The second start is quicker because everything is extracted. But if you force closed it the first time, maybe you're missing some files...

Can't you add a message saying it's being extracted? Or is it an OS feature?
I don't remember pressing "back" or "home" though. I'll reinstall it to make sure it's complete, although I don't have issues with missing files so far.

When you search for something ? Or when you just browse the web ?

When I switch the "tabs" below ("Home", "Web", "List", "RSS", "Search"), as far as I can tell.

From where did you try to download the torrents ?

KickAssTorrents.com

First point answers the second one

Is it not possible at all to register QGetMobile for torrent files?

Nope, that will be added in another version.

Thanks.

PS: si tu veux parler Français, y a aussi un topic sur le forum QNAP fr

Oui, je l'ai déjà vu, en effet.

BTW, the icons below ("Home", "Web", "List", "RSS", "Search") and the "Menu" and "Back" icons at the top are very small, not easy to press with my big fat fingers!

Is it possible to include an Autologin setting, so we don't have to press "Log in" at each start of the application?

Thanks!

Hi I am trying to connect to my nas via https using qgetmobile. I have input the secure port into qgetmobile and also toggled the button to https but it fails to connect. If I leave it on https and then change the port back to 8080, (the default http port) it will connect but that isn't the port Im using for https.

Any help appreciated thanks.

Hi,

It seems the HTTPS doesn't work with some NAS, I will have a look. It's already been reported by email.

Hello, I've just tested QGet Mobile on my iPhone and I have a question about https :
normally, HTTPS is using port 443 by default while HTTP is using port 80 (or 8080 sometimes like for QNAP devices' user interface).
Since I'm opening my 8080 port on the WAN (to access the QGet information from the 3G network), how could https work here (I've tested and it seems to work) ?
Here are details about my configuration and my tests :
- QNAP port 8080 is available from external (WAN) on port 1234
- SSL certifactes are installed on my QNAP TS409
If I use a web browser on http://WAN_IP:1234/cgi-bin/Qdownload/Get_DL_List.cgi?status=run (no SSL here), I got an output showing some download informations from my QNAP.
If I use this brower on https://WAN_IP:1234/cgi-bin/Qdownload/Get_DL_List.cgi?status=run (SSL here because of https ?), I got an "ssl_error_rx_record_too_long" error.
- Now If open port 443 (default port for SSL) from my QNAP on WAN port 4321,
opening https://WAN_IP:4321/cgi-bin/Qdownload/Get_DL_List.cgi?status=run will work well (after adding a certificate exception)

My question is : How QGet Mobile could do a https connection over port 8080 of the QNAP device ?

Hi Sylver,

Thanks for your detailed description.

My question is : How QGet Mobile could do a https connection over port 8080 of the QNAP device ?

Simple answer: there is a bug, and the connection there is *only* HTTP.

I have fixed the issue and submitted it to Apple last week. It should be out in a few days... version 0.2 (on the appstore, it shows 1.0.2).
