Terminal Client

Post by Boblemarin »

Hello.

I am running Transmission on a headless server and access it via SSH.
I was wondering how to start the client in terminal to obtain the result displayed on the homepage...

I know how to use the "transmission-remote -l " command but it only displays a static view of the files.

Regards.

Edit: Seems like the forum replaces "f-agga" as "lucky charms" and it's messing up the link:
http://github.com/fagga/transmission-remote-cli

That's listed under the addons link on the main page. http://www.transmissionbt.com/resources.php

Having an issue getting transmission-remote-cli working. I installed the required packages from http://github.com/fagga/transmission-remote-cli and created a config file, but now every time I run it I get this error:

Code: Select all

YahiSheeva:/usr/local/bin# transmission-remote-cli.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote-cli.py", line 2193, in <module>
    config.get('Connection', 'password')))
  File "/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote-cli.py", line 218, in __init__
    self.wait_for_torrentlist_update()
  File "/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote-cli.py", line 503, in wait_for_torrentlist_update
    self.wait_for_update(7)
  File "/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote-cli.py", line 513, in wait_for_update
    if self.update(0, update_id): break
  File "/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote-cli.py", line 242, in update
    tag = self.parse_response(response)
  File "/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote-cli.py", line 260, in parse_response
    t['seeders']  = max(map(lambda x: x['seederCount'],  t['trackerStats']))
ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence
I can tell that my Python is working because I can pass parameters to transmission-remote ( # transmission-remote-cli -- -l). I would post this as an issue on github, but I'm pretty sure the problem is PEBCAK. What am I missing?

Looks like you got a webpage or xml file instead of the python script, try downloading again.

@blacke4dawn

I download again the file but it keep storing the wrong file, so I copy/paste the content, saved and it worked.

Thanks.
