Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I just installed ktorrent and saw that it supports UPnP to tell my router which ports to forward. i was thinking that it would be great if all kde applications could do that, like kopete for webcam and filetransfer or whatever else application needs it. So i was thinking that solid in KDE4 would be the best place for this.
this should be implemented in kstreamsocket in kdelibs/kdecore/network the knetwork classes so that all kde applications can benefit from it. thiago has already noted the plugin implementation of ktorrent (see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108930) and stated that it is part of his todo list
I agree - may KDE apps, especially Kopete, could benefit from UPnP support. It took me a long time to figure out why I couldn't send any files via Jabber using Kopete.
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***
I vote for this one too - I am playing with KDE4 from svn, I just tried to setup my jabber account in Kopete, and it asked me about my public IP and port to use ... so I had to go to the router setup and do the port forwarding manually, while there could be just a checkbox "use UPnP" to do it automatically; it would also partially solve bug 125553 (I would add to that: not only public IP but the available ports may change too ...)
any plans on this one?
I work on this as I have time. I'm hoping to have it done for KDE 4.3
Currently this bug is fixed?
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
