bind-address-ipv6 not keeping it settings

[ranpha]

From ​https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16432

I have a problem with bind-address-ipv6 not keeping its setting when the daemon is started. Every time I edit the said option in settings.json while the daemon is off, from the default "::" to something like "[2a00:dd80:fb80::200]" (example only), when I start the daemon again, the 'bind-address-ipv6' value will revert back to "::".

transmission version is the latest one (2.84), libevent is 2.0.21 and OS is CentOS 6.5 64-bit.

Below is the output of "transmission-remote -si"

Please check to see if your start-up script is setting this value. Also, despite what Transmission reports, check for other settings.json files. Make sure you are editing the settings file correctly. https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles Other IPv6 reports refer to trackers, which you should peruse vis-à-vis your use case.

I do not have any start-up scripts, after all all I do is 'su <username-redacted> -c "/path/to/transmission-daemon" to start the daemon. I compile and install everything myself, so I know where the files goes to.

#find  / -type f -name settings.json
find: File system loop detected; `/var/named/chroot/var/named' is part of the same file system loop as `/var/named'.
/home/<username-redacted>/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

Plus I do edit the settings.json file correctly. If I want to configure the daemon to use 2a00:dd80:fb80::200 IPv6 address for IPv6 traffic, then the setting should be like below right?

"bind-address-ipv6": "[2a00:dd80:fb80::200]",

Please edit your settings.json again, after stopping the daemon, without the square brackets.

Without the brackets, the setting now works, but I will not be able to remote load any .torrent files at all.

With this, I can only add torrents via magnet links.
