[Part 2] Download torrent & newsserver package(s)

[zilexa]

Thanks, I figured it out via old XBMC topics. HTTP API is deprecated so this is the JSON command to update a specific folder:

Terminal

curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"id":5,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"VideoLibrary.Scan","params":{"directory":"/media/usb/TV Shows/"}}' http://192.168.1.1:8080/jsonrpc

or via browser(!):

Terminal

http://192.168.1.1:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Scan", "id": "5", "params": {"directory":"/media/usb/TV Shows/"}}

And to let Transmission pass the folder of the downloaded torrent, use this parameter as directory (untested): $TR_TORRENT_DIR

Since I am still very noobish, I have not figured out how to run the curl command or the url via ssh (or actually via an .sh script). "curl" is not available on XBian and I do not want to install it. Calling an url is ofcourse not working in SSH since you need a browser to process it. Transmission needs a script to run and it should be easy..

EDIT: Transmission does not run any .sh script it seems Transmission has no rights to run a script? How can I change this? all my script contains now (as a test) is: echo $TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME >> media/usb/Downloads/autoconverted.log
