Upgrade made and it works, thanks.

Could you edit the first post and change the old verbose flag to debug ?

sudo yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/transmission_ynh/tree/testing --debug
or
sudo yunohost app upgrade transmission -u https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/transmission_ynh/tree/testing --debug

New stable release :tada:

Bonjour,
Je viens de faire la màj de Transmission et Transmission télécharge dans /home/yunohost.transmission/progress alors que j’ai bien indiqué “incomplete-dir”: “/mnt/space/yunohost.transmission/progress”, dans /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json

Ai-je raté quelque chose, y-a-t-il quelque chose à relancer ? J’ai pourtant redémarré mon serveur mais c’est comme si ma modification dans settings.json n’était pas prise en compte…
Merci.

Hi @arnauld
You have to stop transmission before changing anything into settings.json, otherwise it’s indeed like you wouldn’t have done anything.
The config file can be modified only when the service is not running.

Thank you @Maniack_Crudelis , it is working fine now :slight_smile:

My android client can connect to the server but then only is waiting (spinning wheel). I also cannot add torrents. Settings are as suggested

You can use the following information to connect your server:

Remote host: Your domain or IP address (don't add folder)
Port: 443
SSL: Enabled
User: Your Yunohost Username
Password: Password of the Yunohost User above
RPC Path: /torrent/transmission/rpc (if you used the standard folder)
[x] Trust Self-signed cert

I just upgraded transmission to the version 3.00~ynh3
I just found this issue that looks like it, and I’ll spend some time later to read it, but I wanted to warn here that this upgrade can cause some problems.

@Mamie did you have issues with the latest update 3.00~ynh3?

I have this message on all my downloads :
image

When I click on «set location», it says /home/yunohost.transmission/completed
And /home/yunohost.transmission does not exists.

On my machine I have a specific setting, as all was linked to another disk via a symlink, so all my downloads are still in /mnt/slowDisk/yunohost.transmission/
Is there a new place that I should link to this place ?

can you check the /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json file?

In this file, I can read :

"download-dir": "/home/yunohost.app/transmission/completed",

And if I do ls -alh /home/yunohost.app/transmission/completed
I have :

~ ls -alh /home/yunohost.app/transmission/completed
total 55G
drwxrwxr-x+ 84 transmission        transmission         12K 18 sept. 18:00  .
drwxrw-r--+  5 transmission        transmission        4,0K  7 mars   2021  ..
-rwxrwxr-x+  1 debian-transmission debian-transmission 1,6M 26 août   2021 family_film.mkv

And just in case :

~ ls -alh /home/yunohost.app/transmission
lrwxrwxrwx 1 debian-transmission www-data 37 17 nov.   2020 /home/yunohost.app/transmission -> /mnt/slowDisk/yunohost.transmission

Maybe the user owning the files changed and a chown in the upgrade scripts was broken due to the symlink ?

Hello, had same issues. (with the ynh2 version)

I moved old files in the new folder and restarted daemon : the old torrents restarted, but I wasn’t able to add new torrents (permission issue).

Had to reinstall transmission to be able to add new torrents (I should have downloaded old .torrent files before doing this).

I just added a symlink from the « expected » path to the current path :
ln -s /home/yunohost.app/transmission /home/yunohost.transmission

(Which is a link to a link, as /home/yunohost.app/transmission is already a link to an external drive).

I also used chown to make all files/folders belong to transmission:transmission (even the 2 links, with -h argument for chown)

Then I restarted the tranmission service, without success.

The strange thing is that now, when I check the path for a torrent, the file is exactly where it should be.

Really strange side-effect : all films that were also added in jellyfin (with symlinks too) are considered not found (well, not 100%, more like 90% removed from library, 10% still in library, but unreadable)

Problem solved with a chown AND a chmod :

chown -R debian-transmission:debian-transmission /home/yunohost.app/transmission
chmod +x /home/yunohost.app/transmission

First chown made the torrent app working again.
Chmod was for Jellyfin to be able to parse the folders.

Those commands also solved my problem (Nextcloud / Transmission).
Just one thing, I think that the second command is in fact:

chmod +x /home/yunohost.app/transmission
