Can not connect to remote transmission-daemon
I have a server which is running transmission daemon as a service and I'm using it over it's web ui nearly 6 months.
Recently I convert old my laptop to Media Center with Kodi and I added this addon from KODI's interface. I set up connection like this;
Host: 192.168.1.250 Port: 9091 User: (empty) Password: (empty)
User name and password was empty because I disabled RPC auth from transmission settings. I though this is may be problem. So I wrote a password and enabled auth. I have tried browser first and I can be able to login with user name and password. After that, I wrote same info into transmission add-on and save. So, when I try to start transmission add-on it throws this error since the beginning: Could not connect to transmission.
By the way I can reach transmission port from KODI machine as you can see below:
kodi@Studio-1535:~/.kodi/addons/script.transmission$ nc -w 1 -z -v 192.168.1.250 9091
Connection to 192.168.1.250 9091 port [tcp/*] succeeded!
kodi@Studio-1535:~/.kodi/addons/script.transmission$
Also the transmission configuration is below (unnecessary information not included):
{
...
"bind-address-ipv4": "192.168.1.250",
"bind-address-ipv6": "::",
...
"rpc-authentication-required": true,
"rpc-bind-address": "192.168.1.250",
"rpc-enabled": true,
"rpc-password": "{c1c5bf8b9dd95e641563efc7db8c24d49b5d0b4exGiBdnNW",
"rpc-port": 9091,
"rpc-url": "/transmissionweb/",
"rpc-username": "admin",
"rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.*",
"rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,
"scrape-paused-torrents-enabled": true,
...
"utp-enabled": true,
}
I expect it's because the rpc-url setting is set to =/transmissionweb/= rather than the default, =/transmission/=. The addon does not yet support configuring the URL, and is expecting to reach it at the default url.
I looked through the library I'm using.... you should be able to supply the address as a complete URL ("http://hostname:port/transmissionweb/"), and it ought to work.
Umm! Of course. Now I remember I did change the url, once. Thank you for answer. I'm going to restore that url and try again tonight. I will update you.
