<![CDATA[Cannot connect to transmission]]>Hey All,

I get an error when attempting to link couchpotato and transmission in the downloader settings menu with these inputs:

Host: https://transmission.my-example-cloudron.com
RPC url: transmission
user: [cloudron username]
password [cloudron password]

These seem to be work fine in SickChill but CP returns this error:

ERROR[.downloaders.transmission] Config properties are not filled in correctly, port is missing.

Adding a port to the end of the transmission url doesn't seem to solve it. Anyone else having this issue?

This caveat shoud however be noted in the CouchPotato documentation https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/couchpotato/ . @girish maybe you can add a line there that says that to use CouchPotato with Transmission, one has to use Black-hole?

Noted, switching to using black hole in that case

What I am doing to work-around the problem is using a Volume shared between the 2 apps and using the black-hole method of torrents.
