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.

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.
