Can't make Automatic and Transmission work
Hi! I have Automatic v0.6.4-readynas-0.9.7 and Transmission v2.11 installed on my ReadyNAS duo. I've tried to setup Automatic to download torrents automatically, but I can't figure it out. Her...
Try the following:
use-transmission = no
Run automatic -v 3 -f, to run automatic on the command-line instead of as a daemon (ensure that it's not running already by stopping the service in frontview).
This *should* start dropping .torrent files into your torrents folder (torrent-folder = "/c/addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon/torrents/").
If this works, then you might as well just turn off the transmission rpc service (which for some reason did not work for me) and instead set watch-dir-enabled in /c/addons/Transmission/transmission-daemon/settings.json to true (watch-dir-enabled: 1). Obviously stop the transmission service before you make the change, then start the transmission service after.
So the steps would be:
You should now have transmission monitoring and pull the torrents that automatic puts into your torrent folder.
Hope this helps. Also, see the documentation about automatic at http://kylek.is-a-geek.org:31337/Automatic/

So the steps would be:
- stop the automatic service in frontview
- Edit /etc/automatic.com
- set use-transmission = no
- run automatic -v 3 -l /var/log/automatic.conf -c /etc/automatic.conf from the command-line
- stop the transmission service
- edit the Transmission settings: /c/addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon/settings.json
- set watch-dir-enabled: 1
- Start Transmission service in frontview
