Tranmission complete script with Notify my android - Ewoud Bakker - 6th Mar, 2016 07:37 PM

Hi all,
been fiddling around with my transmission done script thoughed i put it up here.

Its made out of 2 scripts t-clean.sh & notify.sh you can put them together in your /home/xbian/ dir and point transmisson to /home/xbian/t-clean.sh for your done-script.

- you need curl to make it work, make sure you got it installed. Think it can be installed with the xbian menu, otherwise run sudo apt-get install curl
- after that you need an Notify my Android account and make an API-key https://www.notifymyandroid.com/
- You put that api-key in the notify.sh at INSERT_API_HERE (between the "")
- After that install NMA on your android device and login.

Now if you got a download done in transmission it will remove it directly and send you a push notification on your device with time & name. So you know whats up.

Hope anyone can use this. feel free to do with it what you fancy. if you got any update or improvements please post them in this thread so xbians can use it.
Cheers

t-clean.sh (dont forget to put in your port/user/pass)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
PORT="INSERT_PORT"
USER="INSERT_USER"
PASS="INSERT_PASS"



transmission-remote $PORT --auth $USER:$PASS  --torrent $TR_TORRENT_ID --remove

TORRENT="$TR_TORRENT_NAME"

export TR_TORRENT_NAME
export TORRENT
source /home/xbian/notify.sh
