Suppor on Transmission

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Could you add support for Transmission client Torrent on Ubuntu?

I've taken a look at Transmission and it does not seem to support plugins. I 
don't
really want to create a periscope deamon that would be running all the time to 
check
if transmission has finished a download.

Currently the transmission developers don't seem to provide a way to run a 
script
when a download is over. So I'll think about it but I don't promise anything.

Maybe you could contact with the Transmission developers for suggest a plugin 
system.
You get many Ubuntu users if you get support for this stuff.

Well ... this is not entirely true.
Transmission has already a callback where you can define a system script to run 
when
torrent finish.

Im already using it. They provide with several env variables with torrent 
specific information.

But, a pluggin system would be more efficient cause if your script does not 
fork periscope execution ... it blocks transmission. And knowing the time it 
takes, even for a single file, it seems to be so much time.

config property to setup in transmission:
script-torrent-done-enabled
script-torrent-done-filename

Variables provided by transmission:
TR_TORRENT_NAME
TR_TORRENT_DIR
TR_TORRENT_ID
TR_APP_VERSION
TR_TORRENT_HASH
TR_TIME_LOCALTIME

Ok, that's not entirely true anymore :)

I'll take a look at their documentation and see if I can make a 
periscope-transmission package.

I second this. I have a script running that unrars for me but now i want to add 
a line to get it to periscope for me. Anyone knows what to add and where =?

Any news about it, i have transmission on my QNAP NAS, and it work great with 
scripts, like email and unrar after download finish, any chance to compile 
version of periscope to transmission ? would be really great. Thanks.

If you can run Python script on your QNAP NAS, there is no reason for periscope 
not to work.

Calling something like 
$ periscope -l en <folder_where_you_put_your_files>
would probably work to update all you video files with subtitles

Hi, how i can make it work, i downloaded periscope folder, copied to: 
/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg (where my all software runs), then using putty did these 
commands:  
cd /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/periscope (command executed correctly)
$ periscope -l en /share/HDA_DATA/Multimedia/Series/Suits/2 Temporada (command
