gnome shell indicator for Transmission

gnome-shell-extension-transmission-daemon

This is a Gnome Shell extension for monitoring a transmission-daemon or GTK app using its RPC interface.

This extension supports Gnome Shell DE from version 3.4. Note that the latest version on master may only support more recent versions (see ./[email protected]/metadata.json).

All credit for this project goes to the original author, Jean-Philippe Braun (@eonpatapon). This project was forked since maintainance has been abandoned.

Thanks as well to the many contributors who have contributed to this project -- see the contributors graph for a full list!

Installation

Via extensions.gnome.org

Visit the GNOME Extensions Page.

Manual

$ git clone git://github.com/thekevjames/gnome-shell-extension-transmission-daemon.git
$ cd gnome-shell-extension-transmission-daemon
$ make install

If you have gnome-shell-devel installed, the extension will start working immediately. If not, restart the shell (atf-f2, type "r") to enable it.

Older Versions of Gnome Shell

The best way to find the correct version to install for support for older Gnome Shell versions is to check the GNOME Extensions Page under the Versions header. All previously released versions should be accessible as zipfile downloads there.

Some older versions have been tagged in this repo:

• the latest version supporting gnome-shell < 3.10 is tag 1.0.0
• the latest version supporting gnome-shell < 3.16 is tag 2.0.0
• the latest version supporting gnome-shell < 3.20 is tag 3.0.0

To install for those versions of gnome-shell, please follow the manual process outlined above after checking out one of the above tags.

Note that all versions since v20 should have matching tags between this repo and the GNOME Extensions Page.

Configuration

You must enable the RPC interface in your transmission settings.

• for the GTK application, see preferences->remote.
• for transmission-daemon, see /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json. Documentation for this file is on the Transmission wiki.

gnome-shell-extension-transmission-daemon's Issues

Not all the translations applied

May I missed something but since I'm back on Ubuntu (20.04) I noticed that not all the translated strings appears. Some of them are still in English while the translation containts basically everything.

GDBus.Error:org.gnome.Shell.LoadExtensionError: SyntaxError: illegal character

i installed a fresh debian (https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-cd/debian-9.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso.torrent) with gnome and then tried to add transmission indicator from the on-off button on https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/365/transmission-daemon-indicator/, which failed.

only hint i have found so far is /var/log/messages:

Nov 28 21:02:35 test gnome-software-service.desktop[858]: 20:02:35:0743 Gs failed to call gs_plugin_app_install on shell-extensions: GDBus.Error:org.gnome.Shell.LoadExtensionError: SyntaxError: illegal character

$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.22.3

so i downloaded https://extensions.gnome.org/extension-data/transmission-daemon%40patapon.info.v24.shell-extension.zip from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/365/transmission-daemon-indicator/ by choosing the shell version according to what i've got above and the latest extension version offered and tried to install it with the teak tool, resulting in a similar error:

Just a question

I'm not really into github yet but I'm trying to figure out how things work. I just did a translation. But I dunno is it submitted or not. Could you help me?

JS ERROR: TypeError: transmissionDaemonIndicator.connectionError is not a function

Does not work in Fedora 31 Gnome 3,34

Too many arguments to method..

Hi

On gnome 3.26.2, with arch, I got this on journalctl -f (very often, like every 3 sec) :

mars 04 19:04:03 PORTABLE-NICO gnome-shell[947]: JS WARNING: [/home/nicolas/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/extension.js 185]: Too many arguments to method Soup.Message.set_request: expected 3, got 4

Error meta is null on Gnome 3.38

The extension does not work anymore on Gnome 3.38, with the error TypeError: meta is null.
I have fixed it with this pull request #22, the pull request #21 have some graphical issue.

Fix `Soup.get_message` usage

Getting a bunch of the following messages in journalctl:

Oct 12 19:33:48 susebox.thekev.in gnome-shell[1127]: JS WARNING: [/home/kevin/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/extension.js 178]: Too many arguments to method Soup.Message.set_request: expected 3, got 4

Looks like soup no longer accepts/requires a fourth parameter for message length. Perhaps the fourth parameter was original added due to the different C method signature?

Add support for v42

Looks like we might be causing crashes and other issues under v42 of gnome-shell. Fix it, then mark up the compatibility.

"Add Torrent" dialog should allow file uploads

Extension stealing keyboard focus

Reports from extensions.gnome.org:

This extension works well however causes some strange side-effects that took me a few hours to solve. On my installation it takes constantly the focus away from the open window. On Wayland it causes strange behaviour, keyboard repeats and freeze. On Xorg it only takes the focus away.
@mehdix

Same problem of Medhix im my Arch installation
@ciorci

The extension is very nice. Unfortunately as medhix said, it takes the focus away and the keyboard acts strangely, totally unusable
@DevAlien

Clearly there's a problem here as of the 3.32 update (v25), but I've as of yet been unable to reproduce it. If anyone has extra information, that'd be appreciated!

processList and processSession return errors

Hey everyone,

Thanks a lot for maintaining this great extension.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work for me anymore on 5.2.14-arch2-1-ARCH with GNOME Shell 3.32.2. Below is the error messages produced after enabling the extension:

I plan to work on the fixes a bit later. Posting this now in case someone else is experiencing the same issue,

Support Request for Gnome v43

Hi,

Just installed Debian 12, the default gnome-shell version is 43.4

$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 43.4

I love this extension, I really miss it. Please consider adding support for v43.

Thanks
