Sonarr: Tribler 7 download client

[pimlie]

As you might know, Tribler is a torrent client with built-in privacy protection in mind. Although Tribler 7 is still under development, an alpha version has been released and the basics are working as intended.

Tribler 7 also supports a new REST api with which you can control torrents. It would be nice if Sonarr would add support for this REST api. More info on the Tribler REST api can be found here.

Tribler is actively developed/maintained, so I am certain that any issue's you encounter with the REST api are quickly picked up and fixed by them.

If this is ever implemented (I hope so), please also implement Tribler as an indexer. The content on Tribler's anonymous "tor network" can only be searched from an Tribler client (exposed via the same API mentioned by OP)

If you have something meaningful to add, do so. If you want to support the issue give the original post a 👍. Don't reply without something meaningful to the issue, such a "bump" or "+1".

Quick look at Tribler it seems that the implementation would have to be extremely simplified. Tribler doesn't seem to support categories or labels, doesn't support priorities, doesn't have any sort of security on the API. Seed configurations are global only and not by torrent. Not a lot of features at all really.

Additionally, currently API is only available on same machine (localhost), and they don't plan to change that until HTTPS is supported.

Lastly, the API docs really don't go in depth other than getting the torrent list and adding a torrent (via url). Removing torrents, changing torrent states, etc. are not explained very well.

Not really a great candidate for adding on until they add the API HTTPS/Auth and remote access.
