XMPP connectivity

[sjehuda]

Support XMPP connectivity, in order to remote control Tribler.

This solution can work behind Firewall and NAT.

I will be glad to assist with the XMPP chat and ad-hoc interfaces.

• Pythonic plugin API? #6212

Our primary interface for local/remote control is HTTP/HTTPS using a REST API. I don't think this will change any time soon.

Perhaps you can make a new repository that forwards calls from XMPP to our REST API?

Maintaining that ourselves is probably too much overhead. However, if you get that to work, we can definitely link it in our README.

I will examine this possibility.

I think, that it depends on the complexity of bot. I sense that it would be maintainable and also desired to be included in your repository. Slixfeed -------- Please. See Slixfeed bot and the visual features that it offers. https://schapps.woodpeckersnest.eu/journal/2024-05-23-slixfeed-news-bot/ I have started Slixfeed an experiment, yet further investigation and studies, during the course of 18 months, have made me to conclude that XMPP is the best and most accessible interface for any task and media. Substitute ---------- I am futther experimenting XMPP as a substitute for HTML browsers, with an applicable bot in conjunction with XMPP PubSub. Please see my article "XMPP For Browsers" which was published at the "The XMPP Newsletter November 2024" https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/woodpeckersnest.space/~schapps/journal/2024-11-28-xmpp-for-browsers.gmi https://xmpp.org/2024/12/the-xmpp-newsletter-november-2024/
