Android, Remote Only Client

[damoxc]

The request should look something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

{
    "id": 1,
    "method": "auth.login",
    "params": ["password"]
}

I used version 1.1 of the json-rpc spec so kwargs aren't supported, purely positional.

Thanks damoxc! I'll give it a try today. Hope I can get Deluge support up and running quickly. Just have to compile Deluge 1.2 first.

Wow, it is starting to work...

Deluge 1.2 is build and working. Nice web ui work by the way... (It works in the Android browser, albeit not very handy on such a small screen.)

The request that you specified works. I did have to find out by looking through some codes that the request should now be made to '/json/ and no longer to '/json/rpc'. Maybe update the docs?

Thanks so far for the quick support. I'll let you know when my app is capable of talking to Deluge.

[damoxc]

Post it somewhere so I can give it a test

I continued my work on Deluge support in my app, and progress is steady, albeit pretty slow. I have 1 question and 1 problem. To begin with the problem ...

The methods exposed by system.listMethods seem to work indeed. I am currently using auth.login and web.update_ui that succesfully understand my requests and send nice response. However, any of the other methods that are not 'json specific' are not listed by system.listMethods and I can't seem to call them. For example add_torrent_url, remove_torrent, pause_torrent, pause_all_torrents, resume_torrent and resume_all_torrents. I tried to call them using their plain name, or in a . notation. But nothing works (like 'add_torrent_url', 'sclient.add_torrent_url' or 'client.add_torrent_url'). Do I need a different namespace (or whatever it is called in Python...)? Or is it by design that these methods cannot be called. Since the AJAX web template can use them, I presume I just don't know the proper method call... The error I get when calling a method add_torrent_url, for example, look like:

Code: Select all

[ERROR   ] 15:22:19 json_api:214 'NoneType' object is not iterable
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/deluge-1.2.0_dev-py2.6.egg/deluge/ui/web/json_api.py", line 236, in render
    d = self._on_json_request(request)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/deluge-1.2.0_dev-py2.6.egg/deluge/ui/web/json_api.py", line 205, in _on_json_request
    d, response["id"] = self._handle_request(request.json)
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

A question about auth.login: what is it's function? Do I need to call this once? How does it remember my session? How often should it be called then? In general, how does authentication work?

Thanks a lot for the help so far. A very VERY preliminary can be downloaded here: http://ekok.nl/download/transdroid-0.7.0.apk This should work with Deluge 1.2's web ui, but ONLY the listing of the torrents and no actions like pause, resume or add, since I can't seem to get the proper method calls as explained...

[damoxc]

Right, auth.login returns a session_id (that I store as a cookie using javascript).

system.listMethods returns the methods added to the webui ("local methods") and once connected to a deamon it also returns the additional methods (core.xyz and daemon.xyz).

The session support is pretty moot at the moment so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

[ElmoTheElk]

Thanks again! Torrent adding, pausing all and resuming all now works as well.

The only problem I have left now, is that I am not sure how to send torrent ID's. For example, to pause a single torrent, I send this request:

Code: Select all

{"method":"core.pause_torrent","params":["60d5d82328b4547511fdeac9bf4d0112daa0ce00"],"id":2}

But error that it logged is:

Code: Select all

[ERROR   ] 17:15:17 client:364 RPCError Message Received!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RPCRequest: core.pause_torrent(60d5d82328b4547511fdeac9bf4d0112daa0ce00)

    return self.torrents[torrent_id]

KeyError: 6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it seems that it gets recognised as a proper id array, but later the torrent id is not in the daemon's internal torrent list.
Sorry to ask so many question. This really seems like the very final step.

[damoxc]

Ok, that's not actually a list of torrent ids, that's just a single torrent id string, which when it gets iterated over of course it's on a character level, hence why you get the KeyError, 6.

Here is the correct request:

Code: Select all

{"method":"core.pause_torrent","params":[["60d5d82328b4547511fdeac9bf4d0112daa0ce00"]],"id":2}

[ElmoTheElk]

Ah I see. Pretty obvious... I'll give it a try tonight (or tomorrow).

You said you'd give it a try; do you own an Android device yourself?

[damoxc]

Yup, got a G1 when they first came out
