A plugin for XBar that displays active torrents in qBittorrent, their progress, speeds, and remaining time.

---

Installation

1. Download the plugin with XBar plugin browser (or download .sh file in this repo and put it in plugin folder of XBar).

2. Check the first line of the script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3.11

Ensure that the path to your Python matches your installation. If not, you can adapt it to python3 or python3.x depending on your system.

3. Install the Python dependencies if you haven't already done so:

pip install qbittorrent-api

4. Configuration

The plugin uses XBar variables to configure the connection to qBittorrent:

# <xbar.var>string(HOST="localhost"): Host</xbar.var>
# <xbar.var>number(PORT=8080): Port</xbar.var>
# <xbar.var>string(USERNAME="admin"): Username</xbar.var>
# <xbar.var>string(PASSWORD="123456"): Password</xbar.var>

• HOST : qBittorrent server address (often localhost)
• PORT : qBittorrent WebUI port (8080 by default)
• USERNAME et PASSWORD : qBittorrent WebUI credentials

The variables are accessible via the XBar interface. If they are not displayed, you can modify them directly in the script.

Displays :

• Number of active torrents
• Progress of each torrent
• Download/upload speeds
• Estimated time remaining

Remarques

This plugin only supports qBittorrent WebUI. Ensure that the WebUI is enabled in qBittorrent and that the port matches the one defined in the plugin.
