Transmission

You need the Apache Http client to make http calls to the Transmission server. That's available from apache.org. I'm not stating that you can use my class without removing some code our dependencies, but it shouldn't be too much. You'll at least need the Task classes.

A task can be executed with ...

Yes, some, like the callback interface and the tasks. Take a look at it and if you want some sample code on how too call Transmission functions, let me know.

I'm the developer of Transdroid, an Android application that connects to Transmission. Since this is written in Java, you might be just fine with using my code to connect. It is available online: http://code.google.com/p/transdroid and http://code.google.com/p/transdroid/source/browse/trunk/src/org ...

Well, I should have known: the moment I decide to post a support request, I just fix it. Oh well: the problem WAS with the base64 encoding algorithm I used. I change now use this Java class instead, which works fine. Sorry to bother you.

On the bright side: transmission will be the first torrent ...

For my Transmission Android client (called Transdroid), I am using the RPC JSON-API. I am trying to add a new feature, allowing to upload the contents of a local .torrent file to the server daemon. (This is used for example on website that have password-protected .torrent files. When you send such ...

It'll be REALLY cool if you could post a message here
About a working Android remote client? Well, it is available for some time now in the Android Market. Also, see the website at http://transdroid.wordpress.com

I do have an issue at this moment related to adding torrents by base64-encoded ...

Hi neokira,

Actually, I just received a similar error... definitely something to take a look at. Are you downloading all files of this torrent?

I'm a bit confused over the different fields in the RPC protocol. downloadedEver, haveUnchecked, haveValid, corruptEver, sizeWhenDone, totalSize ...

Hi,

Good to hear it works for you. I use Transmission 1.52 (and 1.60) myself on my Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 machines and my Dutch T-Mobile G1. I will probably translate the app in the future, so maybe then you'll hear from me.

Thanks,
Eric

Well, I think that bug is fixed. As well as some others. THe new version, which should be much more solid, is available on the new website: http://transdroid.wordpress.com/download/

Want to give it a try?

Thanks for testing. That's definitely a copy-and-paste bug. I will take care of that.

Currently I am rebuilding the program a bit, but I will write here again when the new version appears.

Thanks again.

I love Transmission and I love my T-Mobile G1 (Google Android-powered phone), so what could be better than a Transmission client on an Android phone?

Meet Transdroid . (Yeah, the name isn't very original.) It is a native Android app that I am developing, open-source of course. It aims to allow full ...

I solved it!

The problem is that I had to send the JSON object as a stream, not as a name/value pair as used in a BasicHttpEntity. So to stream the JSON string to the server, I needed to use a StringEntity. Here is the fixed code:

// Setup request using POST
httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient ...

Thanks for that tip,

I've looked at the transmission-remote --debug command and it's certainly useful to see what is actually returned. However, in my version (I use the Launchpad PPA 1.51 version) I don't see the request, only the response.

I was thinking, do I need to set some specific encoding ...

Hi all,

I'm developing a Transmission client based on the RPC protocol. I'm using web POST's with JSON data to communicate. However, I keep getting:
{
"arguments": {},
"result": "no method name"
}

I'm confused, since I am sure I'm sending a name/value pair for both the method and the arguments ...
