Add torrent from firefox

[christooss]

Im using Deluge on regular basis but one thing really anoys me. I can't make deluge default torrent opener in Firefox.

Anyway I can do that.

I have "showed" mozilla /usr/bin/deluge file

this just plain doesn't work in 0.3.0
0.4 will be the first release to allow this, and the code is already in SVN

i'm running the current svn but opening torrents from firefox doesn't work here.
adding them by drag and drop does work, but adding them from a file manager or a web browser does not work for me.

it's really buggy right now. Like I said, the code is there, but it's not completed yet.

and what you'd have to do it is to execute:

python /path/to/svn/deluge/trunk/deluge.py /path/to/torrent/file.torrent


in fact, I've never tried running it and referencing the .py file by absolute path, so that may be what's causing your trouble

Adding torrents while deluge is running crashes for me. I believe the problem happens when deluge tries to call any gtk function outside of the main gtk thread. In particular, gtk.FileChooserDialog() is being called for me because I do not have a global save dir. When deluge tries to call gtk.* from the DBUS thread, a segfault is generated and the program crashes.

Need a way to not call any gtk functions outside of the main gtk loop. Perhaps put the torrent in a queue and emit a signal for the main gtk loop to pick up on and run a callback? The callback could process the queue and add them to the download list (asking for a save directory if necessary).

holy ****

I think you're exactly right

I've been racking my brain over this for days.


you, sir, are a genious

I may be wrong, because the gtk calls seem to work on my laptop. I must have something screwy on my desktop. Although, after picking a save directory on my laptop, Deluge freezes. I will look into it more.

[andrewresch]

It looks like I was half right. I removed the call to gtk.FileOpenDialog and replaced it with a hardcoded return "/home/andrew". After this point I had to add a couple functions to torrenthandler.py so that it could queue adding torrents at the next update(). This seems to work just fine, but I still need to figure out a way to get the gtk call working correctly.

Let me know if you want a patch of my progress so far.
