Is there a way to switch the qbittorrent UI between the default UI and vuetorrent on a schedule? I tried changing the alternate UI between false and true in the config, but it didn't affect the app.

Have you tried restarting after changing the setting?

Hm. No. I changed WebUI\AlternativeUIEnabled=true and killed the container, but it wasn't on the alternative UI after it started back up.

Hm. It doesn't look like that changes when I change it in the UI, so this isn't the right setting. What is, though?

Did you set the alternative ui directory to point to the vuetoerent folder ?

[–] TheButtonJustSpins 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that stays on WebUI\RootFolder=/app/vuetorrent.

I guess your best bet is to enable/disable the UI from the GUI, and make a diff of the configs.

Okay, it looks like maybe that is the right setting. Though it doesn't seem to affect it when I change it directly.

Have you tried stopping the container first, editing, then starting? Maybe when you edit it while it's running, the software is rewriting over it?

Hm. That worked to switch to the alt ui but not to switch back. ...wtf

[–] tiwenty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well I can't help you further. Sorry ^^

Thank you for trying!

Actually, it now is showing the alt UI but has the "use alt ui" in the alt ui unchecked.

Maybe a script could rename the .qbtheme files and restart qbittorrent to get it to recognize the renamed file as the default. Then you could run the script on a schedule to get the effect you want.
