Setting up a Transmission desktop client to interact with SickGear

Part 2 of 2 (You must also complete Part 1 - To set up SickGear)

To recap...

  • Completed downloads are copied from a seeding location to an isolated location
  • SickGear will 'Move' processed content from isolation to the final show location

Transmission desktop clients call scripts with fixed params, which prevents passing params, therefore,
copy onTxComplete.sample.cfg as onTxComplete.cfg and edit parameters in the copied config file.

To isolate SickGear downloads from everything else in Transmission, the set path(2) is compared to the config file param2 value.

  1. Edit /Preferences/Downloading/Call script when torrent is completed
    ... Navigate to the script location and select it

  2. Follow "To set up SickGear" instruction but at step (e), set Downloaded files location
    to a created folder with name ending in the config file value of param2
    For example, [path]\[param2value] or F:\Files\SG or $HOME/SG
