watchdir Callback decided to ignore file

Post by me2017 »

I've encountered an issue where my transmission installation on CentOS7 no longer picks up .magnet files (see the log snippet below). This was functioning fine for years. I'm not aware of any significant changes made to the system (in fact, this lives on a VM dedicated to the transmission application).

Important to note, .torrent files get picked up and processed immediately.

Code: Select all

transmission-common-2.92-1.el7.x86_64
transmission-daemon-2.92-1.el7.x86_64

Official transmission does not pick up magnet links from watch directory. A patch similar to https://github.com/cfpp2p/transmission/ ... cd519f9fd0 is necessary.
