QTM Usage and Suggestion
-
Hello!
I was wondering as an "easy question"
if admins could tell percentage of people are using QTM to validate/upload their torrents? That seems like an interesting number!As a hard question, can you tell over the last year (etc) how many QTM vs non-QTM uploads have had a low Video:Image ratio? That's the truely interesting one!!
...
I've seen sooo many people complain about thumbnails
If QTM is still under development ( @geographer ? ), could I suggest these "simple" tweaks;
-
[
FAQ]: add a button to open the guide (eg to the right of the "Upload Torrent" button, called "FAQ") -
[
Thumbnail]: a button to open the latest thread about video thumbnails and programs (button to the right of "Upload" and "FAQ", "Thumbnails"? aligned left from Quit still with an expanding gap still) -
"Stats". new row after the Upload/FilePath row (or the space to the right of categories). A grid to show
"Files found:|100
Videos:|80
Img2Vid ratio:|0.2
Named Thumbnail Ratio:| 0.01
[Rescan]"
My thinking: easy to scan for movie files, then matching filesnames elsewhere. If there is 100% matching vids to pics, gold star to the uploader! 🤩
Second: informing the uploader as early as possible. Instant feedback reward. Dopamine for a smilie face, potential reaction from downloaders. Enough hesitation to check forum thread how to do it.
If there is a Github instead, happy to put money-where-my-mouth-is and contribute there. On the QTM page it has a broken link to a "known bugs" forum page and my searches didn't get me far
Thanks for consideration

All QTM does is create the torrent file and automatically send it to the upload page, then download and add to utorrent. This means, nowhere in the process a torrent is flagged as QTM or non-QTM. The only trace a QTM upload leaves is the comment section inside the torrent itself, which you can only see after you download the torrent file.
idk who the person you tagged is, but QTM was developed by joker, last update was in 2018 so we can safely assume it is abandonware by now.

All I've heard about QTM for the last 4 years is that it appears to be broken. I think most people are either creating their torrents manually with their client or using this utility.
