transmission-client: A Transmission RPC Client

Please note, with the current release i dropped support for the blocking api. Eventmachine is now required.

The goal is to support all requests described in the Transmission RPC Specifications.

Installing

You need to have http://gemcutter.org in you gem sources. To add it you can execute either

sudo gem install gemcutter
sudo gem tumble

or

sudo gem source -a http://gemcutter.org

To install transmission-client:

sudo gem install transmission-client

Usage

Get a list of torrents and print its file names:

require 'transmission-client'

EventMachine.run do
  t = Transmission::Client.new
  EM.add_periodic_timer(1) do
    t.torrents do |torrents|
      torrents.each do |tor|
        puts tor.percentDone
      end
    end
  end
end

Authentication support (thanks hornairs):

t = Transmission::Client.new('127.0.0.1', 9091, 'username', 'password')

Callbacks:

EventMachine.run do
	t = Transmission::Client.new
  	
  	t.on_download_finished do |torrent|
  	  puts "Wha torrent finished"
  	end
  	t.on_torrent_stopped do |torrent|
  	  puts "Oooh torrent stopped"
  	end
  	t.on_torrent_started do |torrent|
  	  puts "Torrent started."
  	end
  	t.on_torrent_removed do |torrent|
  	  puts "Darn torrent deleted."
  	end
end

RDoc is still to be written, at the meantime have a look at the code to find out which methods are supported.
