Traceback: "PyBitTorrent.Exceptions.UnknownTracker: wss://tracker.openwebtorrent.com:443/announce"

[sanderjo]

I get a Traceback on a certain .torrent:

PyBitTorrent.Exceptions.UnknownTracker: wss://tracker.openwebtorrent.com:443/announce

"wss" seems a valid protocol: websocket. And there is python client for it: https://pypi.org/project/websocket-client/

If PyBitTorrent does it not support it (fair enough), a Traceback is a pity. Maybe just ignoring/skipping the wss could be a workaround?

For reference: Torrent is here (open source Armbian image): https://xogium.performanceservers.nl/archive/bananapif3/archive/Armbian_24.11.1_Bananapif3_noble_legacy_6.1.15.img.xz.torrent

Ah, ugly ugly hack: replace wss with udp so the wss is gone:

cp ~/Downloads/Armbian_24.11.1_Bananapif3_noble_legacy_6.1.15.img.xz.torrent armbian.torrent
sed -i -e 's/wss:/udp:/g' armbian.torrent 
strings armbian.torrent  | grep wss # no more wss

... and then PyBitTorrent can handle the torrent

Hey! Thank you for opening the issue and suggesting a solution. Honestly, i didnt even know web socket tracker exists, therefore i didnt address it. My guess is that they are using the same protocol as UDP/HTTP Protocol, and all it need is to change the socket type (who will be brave enough to do it...)
Anyway yeah ignore it can do the job too. Ill be happy if you can do one of them (im not in front of my laptop at the nearby time :( )

[sanderjo]

Ill be happy if you can do one of them

Sorry, I don't understand that?

[gaffner]

Sorry for the delay, i ask if can you try to fix it? it will be appreciated 🙏
