Description

Whenever I click a magnet: link in my browser, it now opens in Playback.app. This seems to have happened suddenly. I don't think I made any changes to the configuration of Playback or Transmission (the previous default).

I'm on OS X.

Research direction

The report names Playback.app, magnet: URLs, browsers, Transmission, and OS X, but no source file or test. First reproduce the default-handler change on OS X and trace Playback's magnet: URL registration; done means identifying and correcting the cause so Transmission remains the default unless the user explicitly changes it.
