If choose ‘Connection Information’ it will give you some statistics about your current computer’s network connection. Right-click on the connections icons in the top panel this is the NetworkManager Applet. First get your Ubuntu computer’s IP address.
You will need to open up the port 6884 and redirect this to your home computer. The next step is very important if you want to use Transdroid to control Vuze from anywhere you go and not just your home Wi-Fi network. Remember that you always leave the application running to allow Transdroid to connect to it. This window shows some statistics and generates log messages when a connection is attempted. You may want to open the XML over HTTP plug-in’s logging window using ‘Tools -> Plugins -> Log Views -> XML over HTTP’. Next, check the ‘ Enable password‘ option and fill in a username and password of your choice. Make sure you set the mode to ‘full’ access and do not use IP filtering. This allows you to configure remote access. It should now be possible to open this plug-in’s settings screen. Make sure that the XML over HTTP plug-in is enabled. When the plug-in is installed, go to ‘Tools -> Options.’ and open the ‘Plugins’ tab. Choose ‘Tools -> Plugins -> -> Installation Wizard’ and use the wizard to install the XML over HTTP plug-in. In that case unzip the downloaded xml_http_if_1.1.4.zip file and place the contents in the vuze/plugins directory.Īn alternative is to install it directly from Azureus, although this didn’t work for me. You can manually get the plug-in from the Vuze/Azureus website. This forms the communication layer between Vuze and Transdroid. If Vuze runs, you should install the XML over HTTP plug-in. Also, you will need a Java version 6 or better, which you can test by running ‘java –version’. In that case, get the latest stable SWT.jar form the Eclipse SWT website and place it in the Vuze directory root.
If you are using a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you might get error because of the included 32-bit SWT library. You can start Vuze by clicking on ‘vuze’ or running it from a terminal. Unpack the downloaded file to a location of your choice. Note that you’ll have to use Vuze with Java 6, as the required XML over HTTP plugin in incompatible with Java 7 at the moment. To download the latest version, go to the official Vuze website. Vuze is cross-platform and runs fine under Ubuntu. Here are the steps to install Transdroid when you use Vuze on Ubuntu: Setting up Vuze
