oskwish Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've setup Bittorrent sync on two machines. One of them syncs with just a "regular" folder (C1) and the other one syncs with the "Add automatically to iTunes"-folder (C2). C1 has read/write permissions and C2 has read-only.My problem is that it just doesn't work. When the sync is completed I can't see any files on C2 (which I shouldn't because files are moved from "Add automatically to iTunes" to iTunes) but I can't find any files in iTunes either. It works on rare occasions with some music files but I can never get it to work with bigger files such as movies or TV-episodes.I think that the problem occurs because iTunes doesn't wait until the files are completely synced.Anyone have a solution for this? I thought it might work if iTunes ignored files that end with ".!sync" but I can't find a solution for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicEdwards Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 One solution would be to use Hazel to add the files, making sure you deliberately exclude the .sync! files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 You could always have them sync to another folder and then setup a cron job to move them into your iTunes folder once they are completely synced. I'd think something along the lines of this would work:*/5 * * * * find /path/to/tempfolder -type f -not -name '*.!sync' -exec mv {} /path/to/auto/iTunes/folder \; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
