Welcome to Teemu’s Blog

Picture of me.

Hi, my name is Teemu Harju. I'm a 27-year-old engineer from Espoo, Finland and this is site is my contribution to the world wide web. I'll write here about all kinds of stuff that interests me. Python coding is my passion. I'm also interested in different kinds of web technologies.

BitTorrent for Maemo continued

Ok, now I’ve got the UI of the BitTorrent client somewhat Hildonized. I decided to move the start/stop button, the search field and the connection indicator to a toolbar at the bottom of the view. I think this makes it a bit more usable. I’m considering moving the upload rate adjust bar to the toolbar also, so that the main view would only contain the information about the torrents that are being downloaded or uploaded. I haven’t yet touched the other views, but I think those need less editing anyways.

The search bar on the bottom does not of course work yet, since it is not possible to launch the web browser form Python applications yet. However, this should become possible with the new software release and new pymaemo version. Then also MIME support for bittorrent files would be nice. I’ll look into that and then we have full blown BitTorrent for the Maemo platform. All I would need now is actual content distributed via BitTorrent that actually could be used in the Nokia 770. Usually videos are too large and those iPod mp4 videos does not seem to play in the video player. Anyone know any good podcasts that are distributed using BitTorrent?

    Did you find out how to launch a web browser from python applications with the OS 2006? It still seems like it doesn\’t work yet.

    Hi Verena,

    No I haven’t yet found a way to do that. How have you tried to do it? I tired this and it didn’t work…

    import webbrowser
    webbrowser.open(”http://www.teemuharju.net”)

    Other applications such as the video player can be launched using the mimetools, but seems like that has not yet been implemented for pymaemo. Look here… http://www.mail-archive.com/maemo-developers@maemo.org/msg04342.html

    If I manage to find out how to do it, I’ll let you know. If you find out a way to do it, please let me know also.

    Any updates on this? I’d love to use this application on my N800? Is there something else that works in a UI mode?

    No updates recently. I ran into some stability problems that I could not solve back then. I guess now things might be a bit better with the N800. So far I don’t know about any BitTorrent client for Maemo with GUI.

    Yes, I would love to have a BT client for the new N810. That would be great.
