I have just installed R16 and it is SOOOO Much bigger than r15, I am being overwhelmed by the choices. I will start with my directory questions: - I went through and changed all my directories and when I look at diagnostics, there is stuff in /share/ZFS2_DATA/Public/rtorrent16 but I don't want it there. How do I move it? - I just want a few media directories in watch/download, I don't need all 12 folders. Can I just have the ones I want or is it all or nothing? - Torrents aren't deleting from the watch folder, they just stay there. The system created the watch folder it, so I thought it would have set the correct permissions. Kodi - I have set kodi to notify: and the check passes, and in the log it shows "media servers asked to scan: Kodi" but the new download never appears. I can't find any log file to see exactly what it is doing. On my r15 setup it was set to x.x.x.x:9090 and it worked fine, but r16 won't take that URL. What is the correct set up for this, or where do I find the log file so I can troubleshoot? On some setting pages at the top right it is showing "x settings need an rtorrent restart". I have restarted the server, but this is still showing. Does this always remain visible even after restart? I appreciate all the work that has gone into this. Cheers ## Przebieg rozwiązania I'm sorry for AI Bot, Rtorrent16 is totally new > On some setting pages at the top right it is showing "x settings need an [rtorrent](https://forum.qnap.net.pl/pages/slownik-pojec-qnap/) restart". I have restarted the server, but this is still showing. Does this always remain visible even after restart? This is info tip, which tell you that those settings changes requires restart. > Kodi - I have set kodi to notify: and the check passes, and in the log it shows "media servers asked to scan: Kodi" but the new download never appears.

What is the correct set up for this, or where do I find the log file so I can troubleshoot? Previously it was handled by filebot, have you installed and activated filebot? We're moving to independent Movie Agent, if you use it already I'll need to check this and maybe add an test button. > I just want a few media directories in watch/download, I don't need all 12 folders. Can I just have the ones I want or is it all or nothing? Uncheck creating labels in settings. However since QNAP users are very known for handlind tousands of torrents same time, categories are very important thing and its primary feature here. > Torrents aren't deleting from the watch folder, they just stay there. The system created the watch folder it, so I thought it would have set the correct [permissions](https://forum.qnap.net.pl/pages/slownik-pojec-qnap/). Thats correct. --- > I went through and changed all my directories and when I look at diagnostics, there is stuff in /share/ZFS2_DATA/Public/rtorrent16 but I don't want it there. How do I move logs shouldnt be there anyway you have to upgrade rtorrent16 qpkg and try kodi trigger again with test button + from gui change logs location --- Source: **Forum QNAP Polska** (formerly QNAP Club) — community support for QNAP NAS since 2008.
