Connecting remotely on Elemntum web ui

[dragosjon]

hello!
i have a chromecast 4k on which i installed kodi and elementum. I found an old favorite series that im trying to play and i found it on this private torrent “Fillelist”. I noticed i can connect to Fillelist through Elementul but when i search for this specific series, Elementum wont find it for unknown reason.
So what’s left for me to be able to play it on my chromecast is to download the torrent file from Filelist and then open it with Elementum which actually works on my pc but with chromecast its a bit more difficult than that or i just dont know how to do it.
Im trying to connect remotely with my phone on Elementum web UI to add and play this torrent file on my chromecast but i cant connect to the web using that address. Both devices run on the same wifi.
Do you have any workaround for this issue or know a way to play this torrent from this private tracker other than connecting to Elementum Web Ui?

@dragosjon For some reason elementum can't detect real network IP of your device, so it prints local IP address (127.0.0.1).

1. Easy way: find your device IP and use it instead of 127.0.0.1 (I mean "web ui" line on your screenshot). You can see IP in android settings (click on wifi network name) or you can see list of allocated ips in your router interface or you can use "network scanner" software.

Also, you can attach here debug log like it was asked in issue template, so we can try to see why Elementum was not able to detect real IP. detailed guide was in issue template, at the bottom.

2. Alternative way: install some file manager on android tv box/stick (like x-plore or anything similar) and enable WiFi explorer and open provided link and copy your file to box/stick and then open file via elementum ("add torrent" menu).

3. It is possible to try to fix this particular search issue with filelist tracker , but for that you will need to create proper debug log (detailed guide was in issue template, at the bottom) and create issue in burst repository, where you must describe all details (like what you search for and how exactly you do search) and also provide invite (via email, for example) since this is a private tracker.

@dragosjon please use this test build to get log - plugin.video.elementum-v0.1.106-5-g5711491.android_arm.zip. i added more logging about getting local ip address.
configure both kodi and elementum like it described here http://elementum.surge.sh/contribute/log/
restart kodi, then launch elementum and open "Status" in main menu.
make log.

also check if you use private (for home) network subnet in your WIFI network, e.g. 192.* or 172.* or 10.* - router must complain if you try to use internet IP address, but who knows.
