Hi, I am running a Pi2 with Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and JDownloader headless. How can I go about making the following work using event scripter:

Event: when download controller starts

*if files exist in folder /home/myuser/myfolder*
then "killall transmission-gtk" #This is a Linux command normally run in terminal
*end*

Event: when download starts

"killall transmission-gtk"

Event: when download controller stops

call home/myuser/myscript.sh
"transmission-gtk %U -m" #must only run after myscript.sh has finished

The contents of myscript.sh is as follows:

#!/bin/bash

for i in /home/myuser/myfolder/*.mp4
do
/usr/local/bin/gdrive upload --delete "$i" #uploads file to google drive and then deletes it from disk
done

Any help is appreciated, thanks !

Something like this should work. Jiaz should be able to confirm.

Event: when download controller starts

var myFolder = "/home/myuser/myfolder";
var fileExists = getPath(myFolder).getChildren().length;
if (fileExists) callAsync(null, "killall", "transmission-gtk");

Event: when download starts

callAsync(null, "killall", "transmission-gtk");

Event: when download controller stops

var myScript = "home/myuser/myscript.sh";
callSync(myScipt);
callAsync(null, "transmission-gtk", "%U", "-m");

• Install/test the scripts in a desktop install.
• Copy/paste "Settings>Advanced Settings>EventScripter.scripts" contents to WebUI (headless install)

Thank-you very much ! I will test it and let you know.

Quick question, is there any difference in running the "transmission-gtk" commands Synchronous or Asynchronous ? And all the event scripts should be set as Synchronous ?

EDIT: Also is it possible to update and restart Jdownloader at a certain time of the day if and only if updates are available ? I noticed that you set a "start time" on page 1 and used the interval trigger.

thank you very much works like a charm =)

Based on my earlier question about updating & restarting JDownloader at a specific time of the day if an update is available, I wrote this script:

var t = [03, 45]; //Set Starting Time 

if (isDownloadControllerIdle() && isUpdateAvailable()) {
    interval = 1000;
    restartAndUpdate();
} else {
    var timeDiff = (new Date().setHours(t[0], t[1])) - (new Date());
    if (timeDiff <= 0) {
        interval = (86400000) - Math.abs(timeDiff);
    } else {
        interval = timeDiff;
    }
}

//Functions

function isUpdateAvailable() {
    return callAPI("update", "isUpdateAvailable");
}

function restartAndUpdate() {
    callAPI("update", "restartAndUpdate");
}

However, when the current time is after the starting time it doesn't work. For some reason the "if" statement will not evaluate the negative resulting number from the modulus.

I didn't want to have the interval running every second or every minute until the starting time....

EDIT: I changed the code to not use the modulus and it seems to be working fine now. But how can I check if another script is running ??? I don't want the update to run if my "Event: when download controller stops" script is running.

First of all, thanks a lot for the script. Simple, yet 100% effective.

I would prefer setting the comment field actually, since I have links in other packages enabled/disabled as per my requirement and I don't see how "Delete Links: disabled" can be restricted only to a particular package.

@Jiaz: Can we have a new API method to set the link comment from a script?

@mgpai: As for the script itself, I want to make one small improvement if possible - how can I add a check to see whether the file exists or not before it is read, and display a simple warning dialog and abort execution if it doesn't exist?

Use callSync() to call an external process and wait for the process to return (end) before executing the next line in the code.

Enable the "Synchronous Execution" in a script, to wait for the current instance of the script to end, before executing subsequent instance(s) of the same script, if/when triggered.

Use setProperty() to set a global property in your "Event: when download controller stops" script to indicate that it is running and use getProperty() in your update script to access/check that property before restarting to update.

Alright, thanks !

@mgpai: Thanks for providing great support here !

@RPH: mgpai will be great eventscript teacher for you be nice and you will become master like him

Hi guys, I got a big problem. While testing my scripts, I set the "updateAndRestart" command to run if JDownloader is idle with the interval as 1000ms. Now as soon as JDownloader starts, it restarts and I cannot use it.

How can I disable this ? Thanks

[mgpai]

@RPH: You can disable the script by editing "org.jdownloader.extensions.eventscripter.EventScripterExtension.scripts.json" which can be found in 'cfg' folder.

[Jiaz]

In your cfg folder you will find org.jdownloader.extensions.eventscripter.EventScripterExtension.scripts.json
either remove it or edit and search enabled and set to false

Thanks ! The restart and update command kept asking me for permission so I was trying to force it to run so I could give it permission and set it to never ask again. I removed the update check in the "if" statement but completely forgot to change the interval from 1s.

Once I have given it permission it will not ask for it again, correct ? Even if JDownloader shuts down and turns on again with say a power outage ? Because I am sure I have given it permissions before but it still asks.

[Jiaz]

Ah, its about permission. This one is saved in JDownloader. Yes, the permission is saved and not asked again. Permissions are on per method basis

It seems though like every time I change this block of code it asks for permission again:

if (isDownloadControllerIdle() && isUpdateAvailable()) {
    interval = 1000;
    restartAndUpdate();
}

Is there a config file where I can just manually set the permission to allowed or check if it is allowed ?

[Jiaz]

@RPH: I just checked, permissions are stored for that script. when you change it, permissions are lost

Thanks for checking. So you mean if any line of code is changed in the script, all permissions for that script are lost ?

How would I go about allowing permissions for my "update check" then, because it is set to run in the early hours of the morning and only when an update is available ? It's thus not possible for me to sit and wait for the permission dialog box to appear on myJDownloader.

[Jiaz]

I will add easy method to disable permission checks
