starting the seed only requires the files to be seeded to be correctly pointed to.
there are 2 ways todo this: 1) in your transmission default download folder, place the files to be seeded, as you created them for the initial torrent creation. (eg: if you pointed the create torrent to 'SharpEnd' folder, then place 'SharpEnd' folder in your default download folder). add the moddified torrent from thebox.bz to transmission and it should auto-verify since the files already exist. 2) using Transmission Remote dotnet (windows program, aka TR), add the moddified .torrent file with TR using File > add torrent with options. point it to the .torrent file, and the folder should point to your actual source location.... /Media/BitTorrent/Seeding should work (NB: you dont need the trailing /, since TR will auto-add it - no harm adding it yourself, just for the sake of asthetics, // isnt as clean as / :))
that should do it.
for testing, i add the torrent as a normal download and pause it. this will show the folder/file structure it's using, and you can then simply move the folders/files required to that location and then force a re-verify.
since i'm home alone this weekend (gf out at thorpe park with mates), then if i can get my head around nzbget config files i might create a how-to guide 🙂 no promises though, but i only know about this from experience - it doesnt seem obvious to new guys how todo it on a local pc, let alone a special unfamiliar device like a NAS 🙂
Thanks, I really appreciate your help and all the info - I will give it a go and report back!
A step-by-step would be dead helpful!
Have a good weekend
Oops, sorry, one more question......
When I created the torrent, I specified the file (/c/media/BitTorrent/Seeding/SharpEnd/TheSharpEnd-Episode1-1991-TVRip-mpeg4.mp4) rather than the folder.
So, am not sure what I need to put into the media/BitTorrent folder. I can think of 3 options.....
Just the file itself
The folder SharpEnd, containing the file
The folder Seeding, containing the SharpEnd folder and hence the file
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? :?
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.
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?

thanks SP! 🙂 as always - SSH is available if you so require.
would it help any to consider moving to the 4.1.7 beta firmware, or would that have no fix for my transmission issues? (im thinking updated files)
on another note SP, are you willing to share the source code? im interesting in learning how addons are made and taking a working example should prove useful!
I having a problem with email alerts from Transmission. I was using the standard "email_alert" file that come preinstalled with the addon I think and I switched it to the one you give in the main post. The problem is I'm using GMail as smtp server, and it requires whether SSL or TLS, plus smtp authentication and moreover on a non standard port. So the Nail command line in the script is not working
I'm not very confident putting my auth in plain text in the "email_alert" file, so I'd like to go back the previous file that was working fine. Can you please copy/paste the code here for me.
alouch - i have it working with my gmail account. infact, i think it was a simple case of whack your gmail address into the frontview email notification section, and transmission uses that - it just works.

I have my gmail address in frontview, and I'm receiving frontview's mail (addon install, reboot, temps... etc...) but no Transmission emails at all 😞
Might be worth checking the permissions on the email_alert script. My emails were initially not working either until I found out that the script didn't have execute permissions.
