New Transmission add-on thread
The previous thread was very long time to open a new one and prepare the 2.0 :)
Hello,
I'm quite new to Linux and NAS'es but have spent 2 full evenings on trying to get Transmission to work without success. I tried to find any helping solution in one of the topics here, also without success.
I'm also getting the " permission denied " errors.
I already made a new share with full read/write access, reinstalled, manually edited the locations in settings.json and restarted the add on. Even ith fresh torrents the permission denied errors kept coming.
I did read a lot about other files to be changed trough SSH and sometimes even each couple of days. Since i'm still quite a newbie in the Linux world I don't think it will be a good idea for me to start snooping arround in files and folders I could do damage in.
The only reason I installed (or tried to install) the Transmission add on is because of the supporting of the use of a drop-in folder from which torrents automatically get added to Transmission for downloading. I read that it is possible in the normal BitTorrent client, but also not without tweaking/editing.
Could anyone tell me if there's a simple (easy-to-understand) solution for a) the permission-errors or b) automatic torrent-adding for download by another client (which would be quite off topic, I apologize for that)?
Any help would be appreciated.
