Transmission plays sound although option is disabled in settings

[Frederik Elwert]

Transmission has an option "play a sound when torrents finish". I disabled this option, but transmission stills plays a sound.

Is the "torrent-complete-sound-enabled" setting in ~/.config/transmission/settings.json set to true or false?

[Frederik Elwert (frederik-elwert)]

It is false. But while looking at the config file, I noticed that there is also a setting called "play-download-complete-sound", which is true. Maybe this is causing the issue? I don’t know if there is any reason for these two settings which to me sound quite similar. Maybe there was a settings schema change and this option was left accidentally?

[Frederik Elwert (frederik-elwert)]

Hm, really strange. Now I set "play-download-complete-sound" manually to false, but transmission still plays that sound when a torrent is complete. So that other setting does not seem to make a difference, and transmission is simply ignoring the settings at this point.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

still ignores disable switch. its sooo uncomfortable when you watch silent movie on high volume and receive very loud sound of finished torrent. i can catch hearth attack on next torrent

Attached is a patch that should fix this. Anyone who knows what to do with transmission patches could do whatever needs doing.
