Hi,

I'm trying to get Tixati to read the contents of a .magnet file and start it the same as if it was a .torrent file in the watched directory.

The files are plain text files containing a normal magnet link. Usually, there would be a .torrent file placed in the directory which Tixati would read, but the software placing the file will only put a text file ending with .magnet, if I associate the .magnet file to Tixati, when it opens the .magnet file, it has an error and displays 'error parsing meta file'. If I copy the magnet:?  contents of the text file and paste it into the add/open magnet link it works fine.

Thanks!

what version of Tixati and what OS?

V2.58 64 Bit Windows Build

Windows 7

Had the same problem with Radarr saving .magnet files. If you rename them to .desktop, Tixati will import them. I just wrote a small script to rename every .magnet file to .desktop every 1 minute using Scheduled Tasks. Tixati then picks them up as expected.

had the same issue. Just us a scheduled batch file to rename;

:: --------------------------
:: Batch Rename
cd /d D:\Torrents\Sonarr
ren *.magnet *.url
:: --------------------------

just replace the path "D:\Torrents\Sonarr" with where you are downloading the files too.
