rTorrent's xmlrpc do not support all utf8 characters, for example, emoji.
If torrent name of file name contains any emoji, you can't retrieve correct torrent name or file name through xmlrpc.
Please consider use a rtorrent distro with json-rpc support, for example: jesec/rtorrent, which support utf8 correctly.
If your rtorrent distro support jsonrpc,
you can use send json-rpc request with RTorrent(...).jsonrpc.call(...)
.
