New Transmission add-on thread

I have just installed the 2.04 transmission add-on to my NV+. It is working fine with the defaults however, I would like to configure where it looks for a torrent file. I am assuming I must edit the .json file and have located it but have no idea how to go from there. If I right click the file and open with terminal it spews out the config and ends with [Process completed]. Can someone help with how to open the file for configuration? :?

sounds like your on linux, tmuse?

you'll need to open it in text editor - double click it and select 'display' should work depending on your chosen distro.
and yes, your in the right area - change the watch folder command from 0 to 1.

ensure transmission is stopped prior to opening/editing the .json file.

Sorry for not being clear. I am on a Mac. I thought I tried opening in TextEdit but maybe I was wasn't. Is that what I use?

linux/mac - same thing pretty much :P

the .json file is just a plain text document - so anything that can read it will do. Textedit should be fine.

Upgraded from 1.7x to 2.03 Everything went fine - but it's creating files and folders as "nobody" - whereas it used to do it as "data" (the owner of files on my "data" share). I tried editing /etc/frontview/addons/bin/TRANSMISSION/start.sh from start-stop-daemon --chuid nobody:nogroup to start-stop-daemon --chuid data:nogroup But then it just stopped loading, and I couldn't find any error log. Has anyone else done this - and is there a more elegant (or possible) way to achieve this ? Thanks, PW

Sorry for the bump, but still having trouble with this a few weeks on - anyone got any insight or suggestions for how I might fix this ?

SP isnt back for another week (early sept, i didnt see a date!), so might be worth bumping your question when he returns :)

i just use the standard setup in terms of permissions so cant help...

you must chown the binaries and the directories according to your change :)

are you back around, SP or still on vaction?

i have problems with transmission still! :(
partially completed downloads (0%, 100%, paused and seeding are not affected) still reverify when transmission daemon restarts.

also, if i change the perferences via webgui, the changes dont get written to the .json file. ie: any changes of preferences via webgui works untill transmission stop/starts.

Hey I just installed transmission on my Duo running 4.1.6 and transmission can't find libevent-1.4.so.2 and libcurl.so.4 as suggested above symlinking older version results in /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon: relocation error: /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon: undefined symbol: evutil_strtoll anyone has a suggestion how to resolve this?

try to install it again
