Are you using the IP address or the Host name? I tried the hostname and was not recognised.
Here are all my settings.
config.php
Code:
$transmission_url = "http://192.168.0.13:9091/transmission/rpc"; // The url for transmission webserver
$transmission_admin = "xbmc"; // The username for trasmission webui
$transmission_pass = "xbmc"; // The password for the webui
My Navlink
Code:
$navlink["Transmission"] = "http://xbmc:xbmc@xbmclive:9091/transmission/web/";

My XBMC is setup on XBMCLive on a Acer Revo living on 192.168.0.13 (XBMCLive) Transmission is now available from every machine on my network.
All I need now is -
Code:
"watch-dir": "/mnt/NZBs",
"watch-dir-enabled": true
to add and everything will be perfect. When I do, I get parser errors.
Hope that helps. I found setting the json.settings an absolute nightmare. Transmission believes in far too much security IMO, especially when I only use it behind a router.
EDIT - Watch directory sorted. Had to add a comma after upload slots section. Doh!
EDIT 2 - This a bit of nightmare to setup. Now I'm struggling with permissions for the folder creating when adding torrents.
Code:
sudo chmod g+rw /home/xbmc/Downloads/torrents
didnt work work! Grrr.
