Description

As in file bittorrent/bt_backend.c there is a piece of code that allows opening torrents and magnet links.

static int
bt_open(prop_t *page, const char *url, int sync)
{
  const char *u;

  if((u = mystrbegins(url, "torrent:video:")) != NULL) {
    return torrent_movie_open(page, u, sync);
  } else if((u = mystrbegins(url, "torrent:browse:")) != NULL) {
    return torrent_browse_open(page, u, sync);
  } else if((u = mystrbegins(url, "magnet:")) != NULL) {
    return torrent_browse_open(page, url, sync);
  }

  return 0;
}

Torrents work when used as "torrent:browse:http://something.com/my_torrent.torrent" or "torrent:video:http://something.com/my_torrent.torrent" but magnet link "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:F49F64DB758A7E854C57DC60D7CC43061A2A02DA" does not work.
The "loading wheel" works for some time but then disappears and blank view is shown (with showtime background).
