the .conf file that the addon (or atleast on the sparc addon) says to edit in frontview 🙂
im not infront of frontview, but it's something like /c/addons-config/transmission/transmission.conf as the addon states, you do *NEED* to have transmission daemon stopped before you edit it.
you can access it via either windows CIFS share (\\nasIP\addons-config\), or via SSH using vi as the editor.
on my .conf file, it's the last line - something about enable watch folder. default is 0. set it to 1. the line above it is the watch folder itself. (media/bittorrent/source)
and finally, save any .torrent files to the media/bittorrent/source location, and transmission will auto add it 🙂 hth
I edited the /c/addons-config/transmission/transmission-daemon/settings.json this is the file it says in the installed add ons to edit.
I found "watch-dir": "/c/media/BitTorrent/sources/" and changed "watch-dir-enabled": 1
I went to demoniod followed there instructions including putting there text file in the directory I wanted to seed.
I used the https://"my nas ip address/ctransmission/ to create the torrent on my NAS Box Torrent Name: nemsgifs Directory or File: /c/media/gif/ Tracker URL: http://inferno.demonoid.com:3400/announce Private Torrent: No Then I clicked - Create Torrent
Finished uploading .torrent file created by transmission to demoniod.
Opened up http://"my nas ip addrerss":8181/transmission/web/ and torrent was there but was listed in the downloading tab. I got the message torrent not there in the tracker announce so I paused it for 3 minutes as instructed by demoniod. Resumed and I was listed in the tracker window of transmission as a leacher.
I went to another box ran bittorent and downloaded the demoniod .torrent file and became a leacher. That was also registered as 2nd leacher by demoniod and transmission.

* inferno.demonoid.com:3400 Last Announce: Today 01:46:01 PM (got 2 peers) Next announce in 55 min 32 seconds Last Scrape: Today 01:44:07 PM
No activity on my end for downloading or uploading in BitTorrent or Transmission.
I have port forwarding set up to nas box running transmission - port 51413 both TCP and UDP and ports 6881-6889.
I also was able to download a random torrent from demoniod.
My Thoughts: 1) Do I have to copy my /c/media/gif/ directory to somewhere else 2) Do I have to open up any other ports on my router.
when you downloaded the .torrent file back from demonoid, and you added it into transmission, did you change the download location to the /c/media/gif/ directory? by default it will download to the default download location (duh!!) which wont be your /c/media/gif/ location. if your on windows, then i'd recommend transmission remote todo this - http://code.google.com/p/transmission-remote-dotnet/

heres hoping it's that, because im outta ideas 🙂
I downloaded the .torrent file back from demonoid. Demonoid changes the file descriptor to it to "nemsfunnygif-[[Demonoid.com]]_6075453.4782.torrent". Went to another box running BitTorrent not Transmission and started downloading it from there still no activity.
Should I try to copy the "/c/media/gif/" directory to "/c/media/BitTorrent/gif" and see if that works ?
ok, you upload the .torrent file (nemsfunnygif.torrent) you created to demonoid. demonoid asks you to re-download the tweaked .torrent file (nemsfunnygif-[[Demonoid.com]]_6075453.4782.torrent). you do this, and you add it to transmission.
what does transmission say about this .torrent file? 'downloading' or 'seeding' status? by the sounds of things, you've downloaded nemsfunnygif-[[Demonoid.com]]_6075453.4782.torrent to the transmission watch folder, and it's auto added it to the default download location, and not /c/media/gif/. thus because its pointing to the wrong location, it's attempting to download the files again, and not use the ones you already have.
just to be clear, the 'create torrent' process is completely seperate to transmission; it doesnt do anything in the background. it's essentially 2 independant packages in 1 download/addon. it mearly creates a .torrent file. once you've uploaded it to the tracker, this .torrent file you have created can be deleted.
this is where transmission remote comes in. download the demonoid .torrent file, add it to transmission & pause it. Now use Transmission Remote to move the torrent data to /c/media/gif/, and resume the download. this should verify the files found at the new location and start seeding it. aslong as your pointing the torrent data to the correct location, then it should have 'seeding' against the torrent in transmission.
alternatively, move the applicable gif folder to your default transmission download folder. this will save you having todo the Transmission Remote step.

I do not download nemsfunnygif-[[Demonoid.com]]_6075453.4782.torrent to tansmission I download it to another hole different box running BitTorrent not Transmissions. Transmissions is still using the nemsfunnygif.torrent file
alternatively, move the applicable gif folder to your default transmission download folder. this will save you having todo the Transmission Remote step.
I guess copying the "/c/media/gif/" directory to "/c/media/BitTorrent/gif" will work, I will let you know.
OK veehexx you rock. copying the "/c/media/gif/" directory to "/c/media/BitTorrent/gif" started the process.
and Transmission Remote is great adds more features then super-poussin's web interface, (not knocking super-poussin he is the bomb also). I haven't figured out of you can create torrents using Transmission Remote that would be much easier for a noob like me.
I am using the latest SPARC version of Transmission on my Ready NAS NV+. When a torrent completes I am not receiving an email. I have verified that I can receive email alerts by using the send test email alert. In Frontview I have provided information for my gmail account and SMTP server.
Does the sparc version of transmission support email notifications?
if it does what might i be doing wrong?
I didn't try switching to the NAIL version because I didn't understand how to use it. I could provide the gmail SMTP server info but wouldn't I have to provide the account and access instructions to it also?
i use my gmail account for email notifcations; it is a simple case of insert your gmail email (g-email?!) into frontview and transmission should work. no further SMTP authentication is required. if you get frontview test email/log alerts then you should get transmission alerts too.
i have found it only working with a recent factory reset of my DUO though, so while i havent tested my theory, it maybe that upgrading from previous versions is a bit buggy.
I am really struggling to get Transmission to create a torrent file for me!
Have installed Transmission 2.03 and PHP 1.3. I can get to the Create Torrent web page and enter the following values
Torrent Name: TEST Directory or File: /c/Media/BitTorrent/Seeding/Sharp End/ Tracker URL: http://www.thebox.bz:2710/announce Private Torrent: yes
Immediately after I press the "Create Torrent" button I get the following messages.......
Warning: copy(/c/webroot/transmission/archives/TEST.torrent) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 21

Any ideas? Do I need to create a folder or file beforehand?

Could it not be executing the email script because of permissions on the email script? Everything else works fine. I am able to download a torrent, add a torrent, etc. I receive all other alerts and notifications through email. For exmaple if I restart the NV+ or have an error installing an add-on it will give me an email. When the torrent finishes though I do not get any email. Is there an easy way to check permissions on the email script?
I also tried changing the transmission start and transmission stop scripts to have my ReadyNAS user id and password. That did not help making the email alert work.

:cry: :cry: :cry:
i thought i wouldnt be able to sugest a fix for this.
but i have... remove the [space] in the folder name. ie: 'Sharp End' to 'Sharp_End' or 'Sharp.End' etc escape character doesnt appear to work either (\). also, ensure you've got the case correct; linux is case sensitive. works for me 🙂
looks like SP will have his work cutout when he returns from vacation. im having issues when my DUO reboots/shutsdown that torrents get re-verified on next start still.
i have noticed that the create transmission tool will auto-add it to transmission. since i havent proceeded to upload a torrent, im not sure on the effects with trackers that require you to re-download the .torrent once it's been uploaded. might be something worth noting...
@joja15 - permissions could be a cause. either SSH in and use 'ls -l', or use extplorer to view file permissions. i've found another possibility; transmission.conf file - ensure the applicable email line is set to 'true'. im guessing default is nobody:nogroup, 777

Thanks for the tip veehexx. I am 99% sure I set the transmission.conf file to have email notifications set to true i.e. 1.
I will try out the extplorer to view the file permissions and report what they are set to.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! No joy!
Here's what I put in:

The reason you are getting this error above is I typed a lower case m instead of a upper case M for the Mp3 directory.
Your error is similar:
I recommend checking your case of each folder and changing the file name to
Directory or File: /c/Media/BitTorrent/Seeding/SharpEnd/TheSharpEnd_Episode1_1991_TVRip_mpeg4_.m4v
Replacing any spaces, dashes and brackets with underscores like I did above. Heck I would change the file name to SharpEnd.m4v just to be ultra safe and then start adding in the rest to see if that fails. I also have been looking I believe the "M" Media should be a lowercase "m".
seems the first incarnation of the create transmission tool has issues with special characters. it might well be the round&square brackets causing issues now!
purely for testing, try creating a new test folder & rename the m4v file with no spaces or special characters (ie: just a-z and 0-9).

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-hi!!!! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Did as you suggested by using dead simple names and, bingo, I now have a .torrent file!
Many, many thanks (and also to veehexx)
Let's hope the next stage (of uploading it) works OK!
im usually his guinea pig for DUO testing - i tend to find lots of bugs and issues. that or im just very critical on how i like things to be plus i like to understand how things work 🙂
I have now got Transmission to create me a .torrent file. This is going to be uploaded to www.TheBox.bz and their instructions state that once I've done this I need to download a copy of a slightly modified .torrent file.
When I have that, can someone explain the process for starting of the seeding, please? Is it merely a case of using the Web interface and doing 'Open' on the file?
