Hi - I installed transmission and configed couchpotato in order to enable transmission to handle torrents files.
Problem
CouchPotato can't pass torrents to Transmission.

Here is the Coupotato log.
08-17 22:33:31 ERROR [ couchpotato.core.event] Error in event "download.status", that wasn't caught: Traceback (most recent call last):

Prep I did
1. I specified the torrents download path on CouchPotato.
2. On CouchPotato the host is localhost:9091. Transmission peer listening port is 9091.
3. I changed ownership of the torrent download directory to my admin user and authorized 775 to this as well.
4. Changed share to this torrent download directory.
5. Tested to upload torrent from the local drive and transmission is working properly. So I doubt if issue originates from coordination between Couch Potato and Transmission

Please inform me if anything is missing. Thanks.

Looks like some error messages in the info you provided. That would be why it's not working. Recommend you get each app working independently before you try linking them together.

Wished I could be of more help, but I don't use these apps.
