Transmission

[Bhoot]

SO I have setup transmission to work without any hiccups except 1. I would want my completed torrent to move to a particular folder for ease of transferring. Can someone point out what I missed? I have attached the FreeNAS webUI and transmission webUI for reference.


/Edit: Just more info I thought I would share Jail directories
Source /mnt/bhoot/FreeNas
Destination /media

set the "Download to" variable in transmission, then I suggest restarting transmission just to make sure the setting sticks

I set download to <path> shut down plug in and restarted jail then started plugin and now its showing connection failed on transmission page. :(

is the plugin showing as on or off on the Plugins > Installed tab?
Setting a path shouldn't cause it to break. maybe you can check your config in /var/db/transmission?

Yes

maybe you can check your config in /var/db/transmission?

can you explain this bit?

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

run the command in the jail transmission is installed to and post the output here

also, can you verify you can't connect from another browser as well.

Code:

service transmission onestatus
transmission is running as pid 8900.  

Code:

root@transmission_1:/ # cat /var/db/transmission/settings.json | grep download 
    "download-dir": "/bhoot/Torr/",                                            
    "download-queue-enabled": true,                                            
    "download-queue-size": 5,                                                  

Hope this is what you were looking for.. sorry.. i'm not a very savvy freeNAS guy.. :D

everything looks fine to me. you still can't connect to transmission? even with a fresh browser?

I tried on both Mozilla and Chrome. If i enter the path I'm getting the window on the left and If I try accessing the plugin through gui the output can be seen on the right window.
The rest of the plugins (plex and sickrage) seem to be working fine.

not sure why it wouldn't work. can you check if you can ping your computer from the transmission jail. change the below x to match your computer's IP
ping 192.168.1.x

the ping is working both on my laptop ip and the freenas ip in the transmission jail shell. Also I tried accessing the transmission webpage from my mobile (used to work previously) and it also says could not connect.

actually I noticed something strange. why did you set the download directory to /bhoot/Toor? I have a feeling that path doesn't exist in the jail.
maybe you meant /media/Toor
also you shouldnt be using be same directory for your incomplete & watch & complete (download-dir). also you set the script to a folder which makes no sense at all.
in general the transmission settings available in the freenas webui are advanced settings you should only change if you know why.

Well I just wanted everything to be brewing inside one folder but ok I'll change it. And now when I think of it I understand. A few downloads come with torrent files attached typically "for more on.." they will get added.. ty for the suggestion.

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

you could still edit the settings available in the freenas webui. for the ones only available through freenas you could stop transmission and edit the settings.json file I mentioned earlier.
do you know what a watched folder is? you wouldn't want that in the same folder as your download directory.
and the whole point of an incomplete directory is to not have it in your (complete) download directory. if you want it in the same directory then don't set one.
finally don't set a script unless you know what it's for

Thanks a lot for all your time and effort Joshua Parker. Much appreciated. I think I will just delete plugin and reinstall and add all the torr files again. Will remember not to go changing stuff randomly. Thanks

no problem. also make sure to use path relative to how the jail sees them.
