Details

This is being reported from Manjaro on the assumption it will be true for arch as well.

The package transmission-cli does not associate MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;x-scheme-handler/magnet;
with the binary "transmission-remote -add". This was observed when trying to open a magnet from within firefox.

The fix would be to add the mime-type association
x-scheme-handler/magnet=transmission-remote.desktop

And to create/install a file /usr/share/applications/transmission-remote.desktop

[DesktopEntry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=transmission-remote --add %u
Name=transmission-remote
Comment=Custom definition for transmission-remote
MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;x-scheme-handler/magnet;
This task depends upon
