Remove unregistered torrents in transmission-daemon (à la chatgpt)

transmission-delete.py

#! /usr/bin/env python3

import transmission_rpc # pip install transmission-rpc

# Connect to the Transmission server
client = transmission_rpc.Client(
    host='localhost',  # Change this to your server's address if it's remote
    port=9091,            # Default Transmission RPC port
    username='transmission', # Your Transmission username
    password='transmission' # Your Transmission password
)

# Fetch all torrents
torrents = client.get_torrents()

# Loop through each torrent and remove those with an error status
for torrent in torrents:
    if torrent.error and torrent.error_string == "Unregistered torrent":  # Check if there's an error and it's "Unregistered torrent"
        print(f"Removing torrent: {torrent.name} (ID: {torrent.id}) - Error: {torrent.error_string}")
        client.remove_torrent(torrent.id, delete_data=False)  # Set delete_data to True if you want to delete the data (you probably do, if it's hard linked to your Plex library)

print("All error torrents have been removed.")
