Torrent finished actions #115

Closed dskrad closed 5 years ago

dskrad commented 5 years ago

Love the app in elementary Juno.

Feature suggestion: choose actions to run when torrent is finished downloading. Options may include exiting, running a script (while sending parameters such as torrent name, file size, etc), or pausing torrent.

Interestingly, I see a boolean setting for running scripts in the settings.json file. Maybe this will be easy to implement?

This can be closed.

For those interested, Torrential implements Transmission libraries, so according to Transmission help.

Modify the following 2 lines in settings.json (located in ~/.config/torrential/ in elementary):

"script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/path/to/your/script",

The following environment variables are available to your script:

TR_TORRENT_DIR TR_TORRENT_NAME TR_TORRENT_ID TR_TORRENT_HASH TR_TIME_LOCALTIME TR_APP_VERSION

Example given on Transmission website uses a bash script, I wrote a python script using mailgun.
