Hey Guys.

Pretty big newbie at FreeNAS and I'm trying to slowly figure things out myself and by looking online. Just trying to figure out how to add the watch directory to Transmission.

I went into the transmission shell and used "service transmission stop" followed by "edit /usr/local/etc/transmission/home/settings.json"

I then added the lines "watch-dir": "/mnt/media/torrents", and "watch-dir-enabled": true

But once I save changes and "service transmission start" I get an error and Transmission can't start. Was wondering if you guys could help me out! Thanks!
I'm using FreeNAS 11.2-U2.1 and can't find the old transmission plugin tab where you could change these without shell.

See attached.

You forgot the comma after utp-enabled, and it shouldn't be there in the last line, so remove it from watch-dir-enabled.

All entries in the .json need to have a comma at the end, except for the last one.
