rtorrent - remove specific torrents (set on a cron)

Hi,

I tried to run it, but I'm getting this below error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

It's been a long time since I made this, and I don't use rtorrent anymore. Maybe something change with rtorrents RPC? I am not sure but it did work 3 years ago.

My suggestion would be to search the internet and see if you can come up with anything.

I know this is pretty old but I ran into a similar problem as @Feriman22. If you run print(rtorrent.system.listMethods()) it will list all the commands accepted by the server. The rtorrent server I have has different commands than the one is the code example.

Some of the differences I found were:

torrent_label = rtorrent.d.custom1(torrent)
torrent_hash = rtorrent.d.hash(torrent)
torrent_name = rtorrent.d.name(torrent)
