Transmission 2.90+ issue

Hi to all.

Flexget version is 2.0.2. Python version is 3.4.2. And python3-transmissionrpc (0.11-2)

My config worked great with transmission 2.84 I have installed transmission 2.92 and now I get errors in my log TransmissionError: Query failed with result "download directory path is not absolute".

In transmission’s changelog I found

Transmission 2.90 (2016/02/28) All Platforms … Require absolute paths in RPC requests …

There is nothing about it in rpc-spec. And nothing in transmissionrpc 0.11 Release notes

But may be it’s relative to this and this

And there are a lot of people who complain. As example. And it seems like someone solved the problem

Is there a way to fix it?

Looks curious that most of the options are text except download_dir is bytes. I’m guessing we should be sending that as text as well.
