CIFS watch directory
inotify is used to notify transmission that a new file has been added.[1][2]
This does not work with CIFS. So someone talked about making a script that checked everyone once in a while and used transmission-remote -a $file to send to transmission.
But the simpler method[3] is just to create two watch dirs...one local and one remote and have the crontab move the torrent file to the local dir.
So lets do it[4]:
watch-dir: String watch-dir-enabled: Boolean (default = false) Watch a directory for torrent files and add them to transmission.
Note: When watch-dir-enabled is true, only the transmission-daemon, transmission-gtk, and transmission-qt applications will monitor watch-dir for new .torrent files and automatically load them.
systemctl stop transmission-daemon su - cd /var/lib/transmission-daemon mkdir watch chown debian-transmission:debian-transmission watch chmod 777 watch crontab -e
Then add this:
*/1 * * * * mv /mnt/CIFSMOUNT/watch/*.torrent /var/lib/transmission-daemon/watch > /dev/null 2>&1
nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
"watch-dir": "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/watch", "watch-dir-enabled": true
Respect the commas at the end of the lines, except the last line. Also look in the syslog if you have issues. I had permssion problems with the incomplete and download dirs. The chmod 777 watch...may be able to be restricted more.
systemctl start transmission-daemon
