New Transmission add-on thread

.

Hi Guys,

Its been a while since I've tried to tackle this so I don't remember what I tried to do...but essentially I want to change the transmission password from the default 'password1'. I believe I edited a json file somewhere and tried to change it in the UI - but the defaul password has remained the same.

Can anyone advise me on what I need to do in order to change the password?

Many thanks,

Graham

hey i just did this... you also have to change the password in /addons-config/Transmission/transtop.sh and /addons-config/Transmission/transtart.sh

just remember stop the service first and use notepad++

enjoy

I've just had a look at those files...seems that I have already edited them. Not sureif I have edited it incorrectly?

transtart file:

#!/bin/sh
# *************
# transmission stop by super-poussin
# *************
# Variables
#
# Path to transmission-remote
REMOTE="/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote"

# Options to be passed to transmission-remote
TRANSOPT=" localhost:8181 -n admin:newpassword"
----cut----

&

transtop file...

#!/bin/sh
# *************
# transmission stop by super-poussin
# *************
# Variables
#
# Path to transmission-remote
REMOTE="/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote"

# Options to be passed to transmission-remote
TRANSOPT=" localhost:8181 -n admin:newpassword"
# *************
----cut----

TRANSOPT=" localhost:8181 -n blah1:blahblah"
# *************

first thanks for the work.

I just installed 2.11 and got everything up and running.
changed a few things in the settings.json file

most importantly for my issue, I think

"download-dir": "/c/NAS/completed",
"incomplete-dir": "/c/NAS/downloads",
"incomplete-dir-enabled": true,

these directories exist but I'm seeing errors when downloading torrents (these were existing unfinished torrents in the /c/NAS/downloads directory already)
the files begin to download for a bit then I see the following error

Error: Permission denied (/c/NAS/completed/name.of.torrent)

any clues? just looks like it doesn't have permission to copy the file into the download directory. I can access the completed folder through finder and create folders/delete/etc. I had the graphical version of transmission running locally on my Mac, using these directories before I installed the ReadyNAS add-on.

Thanks!

I can't make transmission coexist with nasmonitor.

Have to reinstall transmission and uninstall the monitor.

It should work, try :
Install transmission then install monitor and if transmission did not launch install transmission again
