Problem: When clicking on a magnet link in the browser, it used to open the Deluge client and add the torrent for me. A few days ago, this behaviour stopped working. I don't think I've changed anything to do with Deluge, so I'm currently unable to determine why this is happening.
Now if I click a magnet link while Deluge isn't open - Deluge opens, but nothing gets added to the queue. If I click magnet link while Deluge is already open - Deluge window comes into focus, but nothing gets added to the queue
Troubleshooting:
- Tried a different browser - same issue.
Tried a different magnet link - same issue
Tried a .torrent file instead of a magnet link - this works as expected, it file gets added and appears in the queue
Uninstalled Deluge, renamed the config folders to config-old, reinstalled Deluge - same issue
Started Deluge with logging enabled and clicked a magnet link. Here is the output I get:
Code: Select all
