I don't see an option in Transmission to change the filenames. how do i do this so my TV shows show up in boxee but continue to seed?

your torrents that you seed need the exact same file name the torrent creator gave them so tracker can read them. if you're trying to change the file name save a new copy of the file somewhere else or just cross your fingers and hope boxee recognizes the file. Support for putting in your own info is coming soon, so I hear.

I would consider using a hot folder as your target for Transmission that duplicates to your Boxee media folder. I think you could even automate renaming with apple scripts. I just manually move them from one folder to the other on my AppleTV (which also runs Transmission). But I don't usually reseed forever just till I hit that 1.0 ratio or better.
