I realized I’ve been doing something wrong: I’m using the bundled OSMC version of Transmission and have been starting and stopping the service by using sudo service transmission start and sudo service transmission stop. When I try to replace transmission with transmission-daemon, I get the message Failed to start transmission-daemon.service: Unit transmission-daemon.service not found.
Can I safely install transmission-daemon using apt-get? I thought I already had everything I needed from the bundled OSMC version, but perhaps that is not the case.
