How to setup couchpotato with transmission

Hello,

Iā€™ve setup a YNH server to use it as a torrent client with couchpotato and transmission.
I didnā€™t manage to point couchpotato to the correct port of transmission and donā€™t know what username/password to use.

Can someone help me?

Thank you !

Me neither :smiley:
The only way I managed to do that was by activating Transmission ā€œblack holeā€ feature and using that in CouchPotato.
It is not efficient. We need to fork and rework these apps entirely to have the feature available directly.

This falls under the project ā€œmultimedia appsā€: Choix dā€™un dossier multimĆ©dia
I donā€™t have much time to work on it at the moment. Maniack Crudelis did most of the work on this specification. I wanted to apply it by reworking the couchpotato package first

Cheers

hi folks,

Did someone find the solution?
@scith what do you mean by ā€œblack hole featureā€? Does it pose a security problem?

Cheers.

Hi, I solved the issue by improving the various packages.
You need to install transmission with either the PR (https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/transmission_ynh/pull/27) or my fork (https://github.com/scith/transmission_ynh)
Then CouchPotato afterwards (https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/couchpotato_ynh)

Automatically, CouchPotato will be linked to transmission using the RPC password
In the message you are referring to, I was using ā€œblack holeā€. This is nothing unsecure. Itā€™s just another method, in which transmission ā€œwatchesā€ a folder for new torrent files added by Couchpotato in it. It is just less efficient because it relies on files rather on the API
