Transmission error ...
Transmission was working fine and now it wont connect .. when I go to my add ons, under transmission it has the message
Please disable the add-on before modifying the
/addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon/settings.json file
How do I do this ? And will this fix the issue ?
thanks so much

- flowchartAspirantanyone?
- dbott67GuideDo you have another bittorrent client running?
You can also just try disabling the Transmission add-on to stop the service and then re-enabling it. - flowchartAspirantNo other bit torrent running ...
I tried stopping and starting with no luck .. any other ideas ? - flowchartAspirantAlso, when I click on "Transmission Interface" I get this message
403 forbidden
Unauthorized IP Address.
Either disable the IP address whitelist or add your address to it.
If you're editing settings.json, see the 'rpc-whitelist' and 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' entries.
If you're still using ACLs, use a whitelist instead. See the transmission-daemon manpage for details.
Any idea how to do this ? - flowchartAspirantanyone ?
- super_poussinVirtuosoedit settings.json and take a look on whitelist
you should have
"rpc-whitelist": "*",
"rpc-whitelist-enabled": true, - flowchartAspiranthow do I edit that ?
thanks - dbott67GuideAll of super-poussin's add-ons end up in the webroot share.
- flowchartAspirantI dont even know what that means :)
haha, sorry ...
So on a mac, do I need to go into terminal to do this ? In finder ?
thanks - dbott67GuideI actually just updated to the latest version and see that Transmission is actually stored in a share called "addons-config".
So, in Finder, browse to your NAS and look for either the "addons-config" share or the "webroot" share and navigate to Transmission\transmission-daemon\settings.json
