Can't make Automatic and Transmission work

Looked up a few more things and figured I'd post some more information here: output from running "automatic -f -v 3" is located at the end of the post. Key information I've gleaned:

../src/config_parser.c, 601: [parse_config_file] option: transmission-version
../src/config_parser.c, 602: [parse_config_file] param: 2.31 (4 byte)
../src/config_parser.c, 603: [parse_config_file] -----------------
../src/config_parser.c, 320: transmission-version=2.31 (type: 0)
../src/config_parser.c, 340: Unknown parameter: transmission-version=2.31

It parses the transmission-version parameter but then bitches about it being an unknown parameter? Then at the end in the verbose output it states that the Transmission version is 1.3, NOT 2.31 as I input?

../src/automatic.c, 520: Transmission version: 1.3

The only other queries I have are the below outputs:

../src/automatic.c, 524: foreground mode: yes
../src/automatic.c, 526: Transmission home: /root/.config/transmission
../src/automatic.c, 528: Upload limit: -1 KB/s
../src/automatic.c, 529: torrent folder: /tmp
../src/automatic.c, 531: state file: /root/.config/automatic.state

Do they all look correct? I'm only asking as I don't know what they all do, and for the transmission directories I would have entered the below settings if they weren't prefilled:

../src/automatic.c, 524: Transmission home: /root/c/addons-config/transmission
../src/automatic.c, 529: torrent folder: /root/c/media/BitTorrent/Incomplete

TIA :)

Anyone had a chance to look into this one?

Hi!

Been having the same problems as you Chandler. Stumled upon this thread: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=58948&p=348275#p348275 which includes a code snippet on how /etc/automatic.conf could look like. I used it and Automatic started working as I wanted!

Hope you'll figure it out!

Bjorn

Thanks for the heads up Bjornemann - I'll have a geezer and report back my outcome :)
