Transmission config file location/path

[Brad1961]

Disclaimer I know I am a total Noob

What is the correct command to enter transmission 2.90 config file
I'm using freenas 9.3 stable and I use nano for my editor my editor
all I want to do is change the call script when torrent done from "false" to "true"

and the result is




thanks in advance

the command would be the below

Code:

nano /var/db/transmission/settings.json

But, you shouldn't be editing that setting in the config. If you make the value for "Script Torrent Done" blank the plugin has some logic to change 'script-torrent-done-enabled' to 'false'.

Ok Thanks Joshua

Then I think I may have buggered what I am trying to achieve rite up.

I was following the wiki for torrent to media script by Clinton Hall (Thanks heeps for the work he and his friends have put in there) https://github.com/clinton-hall/nzbToMedia/wiki/transmission
my understanding was to download his script edit the parameters to suit your individual needs and save that script to a convenient location and have transmission point to said location
I have chosen to save the script to my scripts folder on windows CIFS share

Then i was to edit the settings.json to the below.

"script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/usr/local/nzbToMedia/TorrentToMedia.py",

However in my case it would be the absolute path for the location of my script

I'm very new to freenas and any king of scripting but generally find enough help from other posts on the nett to bumble my way through.

This being the last step in total automation of my freenas media thing

Am I on the write track???????????

yup, you can follow what he outlines, just instead of editing the settings.json add the script location to FreeNAS WebUI (Left Panel) > Plugins > Transmission

I have a fully automated setup using the nzbToMedia scripts as well. I documented it at my blog which you can find by google searching "jruehlig freenas"

Hmmmmmm
seems that transmission is not running the script for some reason.


Does the nzbToMedia scripts need to be made executable????? If so, how would one go about that.

should the first line of the script have a shebang thing ????? "#! bin/sh"

Or could it be a permissions issue ????? And I hope not,,,,,, because I'm really shit at that.

probably be my luck to be a combination of all

sorry to be a pain

I did have a look at your blog and had a play around with transmission using some of your steps and the commands However although these JAILS on freenas are pretty bullet proof, I finished up breaking it an had to trash my old jail and reinstall transmission as a new plugin. which updated me to the latest version 2.92

One thing I have not mentioned is that transmission is set to use Open VPN with PIA........ I don't think that would be the issue though

yes the scripts should be executable, the scripts already have shebangs and should not be modified. if you pull them using git as described in my blog the work as expected.

I don't know, I don't use a VPN so I can't comment on that.

I emailed you through my blog. your setting for the 'script torrent done' is wrong.
