AddTransmissionTrackers.sh

The purpose of this script is to inject trakers inside the Transmission torrent

This can be used manually, or with Radarr/Sonarr automatically. To run the script manually, simply run the script ./AddTransmissionTrackers.sh and see all the possible options.

When Radarr and/or Sonarr grabs a new torrent and if the torrent is not from a private tracker, the script is triggered and the custom tracker list populated to the torrent.

In the latest version, I've inserted a new way to call the script, with many options to inject trackers inside torrents.

N.B for those updating to the latest script, Transmission-remote is no longer needed. All commands have been switched to directly use /rpc. This is the very first release with this method.

I've also included the possibility to call the script and specify the name and/or ID where one adds trackers:

  • First ensure your Radarr/Sonarr user can execute the script with something like this:

    • Take ownership with: chown USER:USER AddTransmissionTrackers.sh where USER:GROUP is the same user and group as Transmission.
    • Ensure it is executable: chmod +x AddTransmissionTrackers.sh

  • Modify the scripts ########## CONFIGURATIONS ########## section:

    • transmission_username, transmission_password, transmission_host and transmission_port. These are all the same as your Transmission config.
    • live_trackers_list_url, is the URL where the trackers list is obtained. This is the default list. You may specify more than one URL, just follow the example in the file.
    • The script will automatically check if the torrent is private or public.

The configuration is complete.

If you are a Radarr and/or Sonarr user, personally I:

  1. Create a custom script (settings -> connect -> add notification -> Custom Script).
  2. The name is not important. I use Add Transmission Trackers, you can use any name you like.
  3. Set "On Grab".
  4. Inside Path field, point to the AddTransmissionTrackers.sh script.
  5. Save the custom script.

One note about configuration and using the script manually. Before use you MUST configure the username, password, host and port within the script. Otherwise I would have to insert four new options to be called every time for manual user input, or "complicate" it by having a configuration file saved somewhere. If it's necessary I will do it, but for now I think it is easier to keep only the necessary options.
