I've had this working before, updated to Ubuntu 15 last night, and forgot how I fixed this before apparently... gone over all the solutions I could find on the internet again...

if I open a terminal and type: tixati *magnet link*    everything works properly, tixati opens and the transfer is added.
But when I click on a magnet link in chrome, tixati comes up, but nothing added to transfers.

.local/share/applications/tixati.desktop:

Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Tixati
GenericName=BitTorrent Client
Comment=Share files over BitTorrent
Exec=tixati %U
Icon=tixati.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;application/x-torrent;x-scheme-handler/magnet;x-scheme-handler/dsc;
Categories=Internet;Network;FileTransfer;P2P;GTK;


Also tried:
xdg-mime default tixati.desktop x-scheme-handler/magnet

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem.

Magnets link work fine under firefox but with chrome , magnet links open tixati but dont add any transfers.

I am on ubuntu 15
