Manage Transmission Through MSN Messenger

[nate18]

Hi Everyone

A while back I wrote a little app to monitor and control transmission through MSN Messenger. It is essentially acts as a chat bot that you run on your computer and can send messages to view certain aspects of transmission as well as delete torrents and add new torrents. Anyways, I thought some other people may find it useful, so I threw it up on google code here: http://code.google.com/p/torrent-bot/
I have tested it against the transmission-daemon,version 1.5, running on linux, it may work against 1.4, but I am not sure.

Nice script
I tried 1.0.1 with the latest build of transmission.
The only problem is that it doesn't find any torrents, if I try the "overview" command; it'll tell me my stats but if I try either the "torrent:" or the "all torrents" command it'll say there's no torrents

That is really a clever idea. Good work!

glad some other people find it useful! iyttahmimsyafu, I just got back from vacation, so I'll take a look at whats going on, I think maybe something might have changed in the json return value, and the script falls apart when it can find what it expects. So, I'll take a look and see what's going on, and probably improve the error handling while I'm at it.

I hope you can fix it soon, this is exactly what i need!

Sorry it took so long, but I just checked in some code that should fix the problem. I have tested it on OSX with Transmission 1.61 and on Ubuntu 9.04 with Transmission 1.51, and all the commands work fine on both.

Can't make it work. Every command i type is ignored, except help.
