Are there plans to add more dbus methods for getting torrent details and other information out of deluge?

No, but someone could write a plugin to facilitate this pretty easily.

In 0.5 the webui plugin provides lots of dbus methods, see "plugins/WebUI/dbus_interface.py"
that part was originally coded as a separate plugin.
0.5 example : http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... 1485#p7995


In 0.6 you have to use xmlrpc via "ui/client.py"

Awesome, thanks.

May i ask what you're trying to do/build ?
It could be something really cool

Currently, I'm developing a screenlet for torrent information. Though, having to have someone enable the WebUI isn't what I want people to have to do. It would be great if either dbus were added to core, or at least webui and dbus were seperate plugins.

Shouldn't be a problem with xmlrpc though, when that's ready.

xlmrpc methods are already available in 0.6.

In regards to dbus in 0.5, I would accept a patch to extend the current dbus interface in the core. The patch might need to alter the webui plugin to use the built-in dbus interface as well.

Er, rather, when 0.6 is ready.

New docs for 0.6 , it is ready-enough for plugin/ui developers.
