      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?

        @ethanxrosen Yes, CouchPotato seems to not like connecting to Transmission over HTTPS, so there's nothing you can do to connect directly. 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.

          Thanks for the quick response @mehdi !

          Noted, switching to using black hole in that case

            @ethanxrosen No worries 🙂 I hit the same problem a few months ago (however, I ended up basically never using CouchPotato to download stuff directly, instead basically only using it for post-processing, as it's not that good at it, and it's much less useful for movies than for TV shows)

            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?
