neewb Q, dont i need to require transmission?

[zeltak]

hi. i cloned the repo and added it to my load path. but when i try to require it i get an error:

executing Emacs-Lisp code block... eval-buffer: Cannot open load file: not a directory, let-alist

this is the relevant config bit i have

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/zeltak/.emacs.g/transmission/") (require 'transmission)

sorry for the neewbish question

Cannot open load file: not a directory, let-alist

You need to install the dependencies (the things required in transmission.el). I think let-alist and seq are the only ones that aren't built into emacs 24--both are on GNU ELPA

[zeltak]

Thx for the response. installing let-alist worked great now im facing the cuztimization issues :)

i have managed to set this

(setq transmission-host "10.0.0.2")

but i get json-read: JSON readtable error

i assume i need to config user, password, url etc but cant find any documentation on that.

if you want i can also add all that as documentation later

There's just no support for authorization (username, password) yet :P

[holomorph]

I added support for rpc username and password in 0a008b0

[zeltak]

great! thx alot

would you mind giving an example on how to configure this? is it something like this: (setq transmission-rpc-auth user:pass)

sorry for the silly question but i have zero coding skills ;-)

it's a plist like '(:username "me" :password "secret"). you can just use the customize interface

[zeltak]

thx for your continuing patience with me :)

so something like this

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/zeltak/.emacs.g/transmission/") (require 'transmission) (setq transmission-host "10.0.0.2") (setq transmission-rpc-path "/transmission/web/") (setq transmission-rpc-auth '(username zeltak password XXXXX ) )

this still give the error : json-read: JSON readtable error

thx again

your setting of transmission-rpc-auth looks wrong. As I wrote, I have the keys prepended with a colon, and the fields are strings, like '(:username "zeltak" :password "XXXXXX"). See the defcustom

(defcustom transmission-rpc-auth nil
  "Authorization (username, password) for using the RPC interface."
  :type '(choice (const :tag "None" nil)
                 (plist :tag "Username/password"
                        :options ((:username string)
                                  (:password string))))
  :group 'transmission)

Did you update your clone? In addition to adding username/password, I also made it so that more errors are caught. In the event that something else is going on, try doing M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET beforehand and paste the backtrace here

[zeltak]

thx again

this is my current config:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/zeltak/.emacs.g/transmission/")
(require 'transmission)
(setq transmission-host "10.0.0.2")
(setq transmission-rpc-path "/transmission/web/")
(setq transmission-rpc-auth '(:username "zeltak" :password "XXXX" ) )

as requested here is the debug outpout

That wasn't as useful as I thought it would be.

     (skip-chars-forward "HTTP/")
     (skip-chars-forward "[0-9].")
     (let* ((buffer (current-buffer))
            (status (read buffer)))
+      (message "%s" (buffer-string))
       (pcase status
         ((or 301 404 405) (signal 'transmission-wrong-rpc-path status))
         (401 (signal 'transmission-unauthorized status))

I suppose you could add this line here (in transmission--status) and inspect the HTTP in *Messages* (F1 e). I'm curious what the HTTP status code is and whether or not you're actually getting a JSON response back. The response should look like

HTTP/1.1 200 OK^M

Hi again

Just to update you that latest v 0.41 and using the customize group options to config it seems to work!

thx so much!
