[RPC] How do I use the files-wanted array

[goestav.x]

Hi,

I'm new to using the Transmission RPC and I can't figure out how I can get the files of a torrent.

I only want to download the images in the torrents, so I thought I'd just read an array of the files in a torrent and then check the mime type.
But the problem is, I can't figure out how I can read the files in a torrent before adding it to Transmission (or passing it through the RPC).

(I pass a magnet link to the torrent-add [https://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser ... c.txt#L356])

"read the files in a torrent" is in conflict with "pass a magnet link". Reading the torrent-file itself outside of Transmission has nothing to do with Transmission and requires you to know bencode. The moment you add the magnet, which is basically the torrent hash only, to Transmission there is no file data to be read. You have to wait for Transmission to get the torrent metadata from an external source before you can select anything. That's why it would be better to add the torrent file itself if you have it.

Thanks for explaining!
