Transmission client problem

Troubleshooting
21

oh yeah sorry i forgot to say i did that. i stopped the service then edited and then restarted using dietpi-launcher/services

EDIT: for anyone not wanting to use the ui pretty sure this works to start and stop transmission also.

dietpi-services stop transmission-daemon

dietpi-services start transmission-daemon

Better:

systemctl stop transmission-daemon
systemctl start transmission-daemon

Can you verify this:

systemctl stop transmission-daemon
sleep 2
grep 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json

G_CONFIG_INJECT '"rpc-whitelist-enabled"' '    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": false,' /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json '^\{$'
grep 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json

systemctl start transmission-daemon
sleep 2
grep 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json

I don’t remember that Transmission would overwrite or sync back settings, unless you explicitly change them in the GUI and hit “save”. So even a systemctl restart transmission-daemon should work, without actively stopping the service first.

I’ll try this out tomorrow :slight_smile:
