That's all I get. The extension doesn't seem to work otherwise. Is there a log somewhere? My Transmission instance is up and running, and Firefox sees it just fine, not sure what the cause is.

Please add some mean of notification if adding was successful or not.

It'd be nice if the extension can be choose to only display torrents with certain status. Ie, All, Downloading, Completed, etc.

I usually seed quite a lot of file, and having the extension display all torrent does not really make sense to me.

My Transmission is configured to use a login and password. At some point, the authentication stopped working with Transmitter:

• before, after having opened the Transmission web page, the add-on was able to interact with Transmission.
• now, I get "Error: Error: Unauthorized" in the Transmitter

In the Firefox console, I can see that authentication attempts fails with HTTP error 401. The login and password is sent in the form login:password. Using transmission-remote works from the same machine.

Firefox 57.0.1 64 bits, Kubuntu 17.04

It'd be nice if there was a way to remove downloads from the extension's window. Maybe a right-click option and/or a small "x" next to each download?

Just wanted to throw this request out there. Thanks!

The plugin should follow the standard procedure for download links and toolbar entries:

• Opening torrent links should either not open the Transmission page at all or at least open it in a new tab (ideally selectable through settings) - current page should stay open.
• Opening Transmission from the toolbar should open it in the current tab (like for other toolbar buttons like Home and Settings)

Hello~ Thank you for developing this awesome add-on.

Is it possible to switch the types of icon badge automatically? For example, when I'm downloading somethings, it will display the download speed; and if I have finished downloading, it will switch automatically to upload speed.
Or to make things easier, let's simply switch it every refresh regardless of the status of downloading?
I think this feature will be quite useful ( as far as I'm concerned).

Would be a nice improvement - I was confused when first installing and the badge did not display anything. I assumed that aspect of it was broken.

The developer of this chrome plugin has his code here:
https://github.com/Feverqwe/Transmission
The addon allows users to interact with torrents right there in the addon popup.
The user can even define columns which will be shown, resize them and use them to sort torrents.

Can you add something to confirm a item is added?. This can be optional. At least you want to know if the Tranmission server is up and running (make the icon green, red if down?)

I can access to web interface from the plugin button but I can't see torrents or add new ones from contextual menu.
In the addon I can see the message "Error TypeError: NetworkError when attemting to fetch resource" I don't have this issues with another addons in Chrome so I don't think the problem is my network or my transmission setup.

Thanks in advance for your work !
Have a nice day.

Left click the Transmitter icon on the top of my browser, it popup a small window showing "The server address is not set yet."

The first magnet link I open gives a 404 error showing a URL of the form:
http://www.transmitter.web-extension/magnet%3A%3Fxt%3Durn%3Abtih%3A7KW5HVDIXUWV5XTOMIJLN6S4EAHQ5PJL

Its not immediately clear what a "session" might be here - restarting the browser does not trigger. Could be affected by cached DNS lookup?

I've tried a few methods, latest FF Quantum.. I'm unable to add my server URL, it simply freezes on the UI settings page.

I don't know what else to provide or how. The UI is better than other extensions. Great pity if it wouldn't work.

When I download movies/tvshows I need to categorize them by adding them to a subfolder of the 'complete' downloads directroy, .e.g /movie/ or /tv/. Can you add a functionaility to allow adding torrents directly into these folders?

I'm seeing similar issues with other download-torrent-upload-transmision plugins on FireFox 62.0 (64-bit).
I have the suspicion it's related to #17

Hi,
first of all thanks for your work.
I use Transmission on a port different then the standard Transmission port. When i write that port in the Server URL, Transmitter gives me this error: "Error. SyntaxError. JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of teh JSON data".
I am not even sure the problem is with Transmitter, but if i use the standard port the message doesn't show.
Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Using v1.1.1 in firefox, downloaded from firefox store:

This is what my settings looks like:

I have about 30 torrents going. I'm unable to scroll more than 25% of the way through the list before the auto refresh happens, and takes me right back up to the top of the list. To over come this, I think a scroll should reset the refresh timer. I think that should be easy to do with JS.

Love the extension otherwise.

Hello,
upon installation and configuration (double checked server, path, user and password already) I am facing this error, showing up in the pop-up:

TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource

Clicking on the Transmission icon correctly redirects me to the server.

I don't know is this can help (I am no JS developer), but it seems related to the fetch API in Firefox and/or polyfill

I run Firefox 82.0.3 on Ubuntu 20.04.1

Picking up session automatically is cool, but I need to open the web interface every time I start Firefox and want to download a torrent. There should still be an option to manually enter my username and password, so Transmitter can log in for me.

Hi,

I have a custom URL for transmission ( /t/ instead of /transmission/) and am getting UI freezes when I try to save. I can save if I enter the /transmission/ URL.

It would be great to have an option to open a specified directory from the extension.

i.e. A button that opens a downloads folder (like the native "Show All Downloads" in firefox but for a different directory) or double click on a download to open it's own sub-directory.

I realise this extension is intended for people using transmission-remote so what I think would be most useful is if there were a way it could open or even mount an Avahi/SMB/SSHFS directory. Is this possible?

Many thanks

I noticed that my Chrome cpu usage increased a lot after installing this extension. The Chrome task manager seems to confirm this. This usage is pretty constant.

as the title says, everything works ok but when I right click on the link to download a torrent file, and select "download with transmission remote" nothing happens

try submitting the link of the torrent to the web interface of transmission but this doesnt work for private sites that need a session for the torrent file to be downloaded.

The updateBadge() function exits early when the icon badge is off:

But, I think it would be a little better to not set up the alarm at all in that case:

https://github.com/myfreeweb/transmitter/blob/5ee22239170790fcd1b1c7b54d23b0cfc2437691/background.js#L176-L188

Should I send in a PR with that change?

Adding in server URL without trailing /, plugin auto adds on "web" to end then making incorrect url

ie server: "https://transmission.example.org" becomes "https://transmission.example.orgweb"

adding in trailing / doesnt add web to end.

Maybe you can add a simple "check" button on the page to inform the user if everything is entered correctly?
