Create Torrent from iTunes PlayList

Post by PsychNurse »

Today I wished to create my first torrent to share some great video clips I have been editing from Rage TV (Australia). I created a playlist in iTunes and added the .m4v files, went to Transmission - Create Torrent File - and navigates via the LHS Menu - iTunes - then to my playlist. I discovered that I cannot create the torrent of the files listed and can only choose one file. The playlist is not treated like a folder despite the option to navigate to the playlist. Perhaps I am doing something wrong or there might be an easier approach. Please advise

Although the Media Browser makes playlists behave like folders, they are not folders.

This isn't something Transmission can do. Apple could do it or a third party app could - Make virtual folders where each file corresponds to an item with a given iTunes playlist. MacFuse would hypothetically be the way to develop this.
