Hi all! I have a Feral seedbox that runs QBit and can’t seem to install search plugins. I’ve tried a few things:
From the unofficial search plugins page, open the raw python for 1337x and paste its URL into QBit after opening Search plugins > Install new plugin > Plugin path.
Download that same .py file and FTP it to my seedbox. In Plugin path, enter ~/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3/engines/one337x.py
Restart Qbit, since the above is my plugins directory anyway, so maybe it will detect the new plugin. Nope.
Am I missing something stupid? The “official” instructions tell me to browse for a local file, but there’s no file browser in this version of QBit (4.3.9 if it matters).
What’s driving me crazy is I’m pretty sure I’ve successfully done this before. I know I can use Jackett (or Sonarr), but the first feels unfinished and buggy and the the second is way more than I need for my use case.
Does anyone here use Qbittorrent search plugins and see what I’m screwing up? Thanks!
Yeah, I’m stumped. I deleted all the plugins and restarted QBit, then clicked Update plugins. After restarting again, I had the default ones. But I can’t add any.
Just to rule this out, what do you mean by “enabling search plugins”? I don’t see a setting for that.
I ended up registering for the QBittorrent forums, since I’m just not going to figure this out elsewhere. If the admins ever approve me 🙄and I post and get an answer, I’ll update this thread.

Oh, maybe it’s enabled by default in your installation. Normally, you’d have to click View -> Search engine to toggle showing the search tab.
Oh, understood! Yup, it’s on by default.
