torrent not sent to transmission

[nopoz]

Noticing there is no destination directory setting for transmission config. When using transmission, mylar downloads the torrent to /usr/local/mylar/var/cache/ but it is not sent to transmission. I thought maybe it would send the torrent to the watch directory, but it's not there either.

It looks like you have the value for the local_watchdir within quotation marks which might be causing the problem (local_watchdir = "/volume2/Root/Downloads/Transmission/#autostart"). Try removing the quotation marks (if editing the config.ini, make sure mylar isn't running when editing), and trying again.

If it doesn't work, let me know and I can troubleshoot more. Transmissiom was added as a pull request so I didn't do it, as I don't use it - but I can definitely troubleshoot / fix things ;)

Shouldn't the transmission config section include a destination directory to place torrent data in? This is what I'm used to seeing in Couchpotato and Headphones. Perhaps @tresni can help illuminate how he indtended it to work? Maybe I'm missing something?

[tresni]

@doucheymcdoucherson I'm using the same behavior as rtorrent and utorrent which is to use your watch folder as the destination folder. See https://github.com/evilhero/mylar/blob/master/mylar/torrent/clients/transmission.py#L74-L76 .

As to the issue with the path, it's likely the #. In most filesystems/shells that's a special character that needs to be either escaped (\#) or enclosed in double quotes (like he has.) I'd try a path without the pound character to see if that works.

Hi @trensi thanks for the reply. What is the point of having a transmission specific config if you're just going to use the watch directory? Why not just use the watch directory setting in the transmission config then? With the Transmission RPC you can specify specific destination directories. I'll try a different folder name and see if it works.

[tresni]

The transmission specific configuration is for transmission specific things (username, password, host.) Watch/destination folder is shared among a number of things (all the torrent providers as an example.) So no sense duplicating that in the transmission setting at this time. (Again, this was me copying what was already in place for rtorrent and utorrent. So if you want this changed, probably better to talk to @evilhero about how the settings should be ;-) )

[evilhero]

@doucheymcdoucherson Currently rtorrent and utorrent both can add torrents to their respective clients from within Mylar, as I was understanding that this was also the reason why the transmission client was introduced within Mylar as an option.

There are differences between the options within Mylar as well:

• Rtorrent can specify the location to assign the download location to the torrent, Utorrent can't atm.
• Rtorrent can also monitor the status/completion of given torrents to some degree within Mylar as well (ie. http://mylarip:port/torrentit?torrenthash=xxxtorrenthashherexxx). Eventually uTorrent and Transmission should be able to hold the same amount of information to return to the client so that monitoring can occur regardless of the client being utilized.

Since I don't use transmission, if you want a destination directory option added you might have to nicely ask @tresni, or do a PR yourself for the addition.

I tried it again with a different watch directory specified and the torrent wasn't moved to the transmission watch directory.

As a side note, if transmission relies on the watch folder directory then that should be shown when the transmission radial button is selected - I think it's a bit confusing to switch between radial buttons for each config - it makes it seem like it's an either use "this" or "use that" kind of config.

[evilhero]

You can't have both Transmission selected and a local watch directory within the current configuration, which you have.

With Mylar shutdown, set your torrent_downloader = 0 within the config.ini. Or with Mylar running, select the radial for local watchdir within the configuration, save and restart mylar).

Obviously there are some things that need to get addressed / fixed in the transmission section, so if we (@tresni and myself) know what needs to get fixed or changed, one of us can make the changes. I can modify the configs to allow for the changes, but testing against transmission is something I can't do simply because I don't use the client.

[tresni]

Sorry, used the wrong name. Transmission downloads to the Post Processing "Enable Folder to Monitor" folder, not the torrent watch folder. So when you set your preferences, you set the torrent download option to transmission, enter the tranmission host, username, password. The torrent won't go anywhere, but the downloaded comic should show up in your Post Processing "Enable Folder to Monitor" folder when it's done downloading.

[tresni]

@evilhero happy to make transmission work with torrentit endpoint, I just wasn't sure what that was used for as there didn't seem to be an references to it other then the function itself.

[nopoz]

The torrent doesn't appear to be sent to transmission. I've tried setting the post processing monitor folder and it doesn't change anything.

[aav7fl]

@tresni Would you please be able to throw in the option to where transmission downloads to? Or are you just going to stick with the watch folder mechanism?

[evilhero]

@aav7fl transmission download directory will be in next dev commit.

[evilhero]

forgot to tag the issue - transmission directory can now be specified in latest dev commit (9ca958f)

[aav7fl]

Hmmm.. I'm having the exact same issue as @doucheymcdoucherson. My logs are pretty similar. I am on the latest Dev branch and it appears to be unable to send the torrent file to Transmission.

You have both local torrent watchdir and transmission set. You can't have both as it picks the local watchdir prior to the actual downloader. Set torrent_local = 0 in your config.ini (with Mylar not running), start it up again, and then try the process again. This should be fixed in the next dev commit (where you can only have one option)

Note that you might get different results if you use the retry option vs searching for a new issue (they use different code, and in the short log above you were doing a retry).

[Telecart]

What's the advantage of using the Transmission setup vs. watchfolder setup with Transmission? I couldn't get it working (same problem: Unable to send torrent - check logs and settings., but there's nothing in the logs) so I've been using watch folder. You can set download directories in Transmission based on the tracker info so that's not an issue to get the files into the processing folder. The only challenge is that Mylar sometimes doesn't recognize what's been downloaded to the processing dir (like if the year is off or the issue number isn't present for a oneshot or TPB, etc.). Does using the Transmission setting let Mylar connect the dots on this? If so would definitely be worth figuring out.

[evilhero]

I think the main advantage is that you can set labels which can assign the download to a specific directory that the transmission client would send it to. The only other option I can think of is speed in adding the torrent to the client. Directly adding a torrent via the api loads the torrent almost immediately, whereas loading from a watch folder is dependent on the interval of the watch folder checking for new torrents, as well as how many torrents you have loaded in the client (at least with rtorrent this is true).

I haven't tested the transmission stuff, but just installed the client yesterday so I'm going to try and run through a snatch/download and see if I can figure out what's happening.

[tresni]

Not sure, but this maybe another case of #1526 (sorry somehow didn't get updates on this thread..) and should be fixed with #1648

Thanks! I'll let you know if this fixes it.

@tresni Fixed! 🎉 Thank you so much!

@evilhero this can be closed as well (woot!)
