Win10 script torrent complete not running .exe's

Post by daves_27@hotmail.com »

Hello,

I am unable to run transmission-remote.exe from within my torrent complete .bat script. I have previous linux experience with transmission executing shell scripts when torrents are complete. I have tried transmission 2.94 x86 & x64 versions on Windows 10 with no luck and latest stable build with no luck either.

Within my script I am able to create sample txt files (torrent_complete_1 & 2) but when the .exe is run the ERRORLEVEL is 1. I'm not quite sure why. I've been reading the forums and it seems like folks are able to perform various operations on the torrents. I have tested unsuccessfully for transmission running as a local service and as an admin user with no luck.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Code: Select all

"script-torrent-done-filename": "C:\\test\\TorrentComplete.bat",
TorrentComplete.bat:

Code: Select all

@echo off
echo "test" > "C:\test\torrent_complete_1.txt"
echo %TR_TORRENT_ID% > "C:\test\torrent_complete_2.txt"
CALL "D:\Program Files\Transmission\transmission-remote" -l
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (
    echo %ERRORLEVEL% > "C:\test\torrent_complete_error.txt"
)
CALL "D:\Program Files\Transmission\transmission-remote" -torrent %TR_TORRENT_ID% --stop
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (
    echo %ERRORLEVEL% >> "C:\test\torrent_complete_error.txt"
)

Read my comment (and maybe the whole thread) on GitHub for pointers: https://github.com/transmission/transmi ... -472212932

To the OP, if you still have this issue consider redirecting the transmission-remote output to a file as well, e.g.

Code: Select all

CALL "D:\Program Files\Transmission\transmission-remote" -l > C:\test\output.log 2>&1
