Transmission

Shows a live snapshot of your Transmission torrent client: how many torrents are active, how many are paused, and the current aggregate download and upload speeds.

Configuration

{ id: "my-transmission", type: "transmission", col: 1, row: 1, width: 6, height: 1,
  config: {
    title: "Transmission",
    url: "http://localhost:9091",
    username: "your-username",
    password: "your-password",
  }
}

Options

Field	Type	Default	Description
title	string	"Transmission"	Heading displayed on the widget.
url	string	"http://localhost:9091"	Base URL of your Transmission RPC endpoint.
username	string	—	RPC username configured in Transmission.
password	string	—	RPC password configured in Transmission.

Credentials

Enable RPC authentication in Transmission under Edit > Preferences > Remote (desktop) or in settings.json via the rpc-username and rpc-password fields. Provide the same values in the widget config.

Tip

The Transmission RPC interface requires a session-ID handshake (X-Transmission-Session-Id header). This is handled automatically by the widget — no manual steps are needed.

Example

{ id: "transmission-torrents", type: "transmission", col: 1, row: 4, width: 6, height: 1,
  config: {
    title: "Torrents",
    url: "http://192.168.1.10:9091",
    username: "admin",
    password: "my-secure-password",
  }
}

Note

If Transmission is behind a reverse proxy, ensure the proxy forwards the X-Transmission-Session-Id header correctly or the RPC handshake will fail.
