Transmission add-on thread before MAY 2K10

[xdk]

Same here running Transmission 1.61 on Duo with RAIDiator 4.1.6-T6.

Upload from webinterface doesn't work. No error message. Tested with Firefox 3.0.10 and Internet Explorer 8

Work-around: Upload file from Transmission Remote dotnet 3.8: http://code.google.com/p/transmission-remote-dotnet

[super-poussin]

i just apply a patch (and more)

a good friend has done a test and download by url is back

will publish it quickly for NV+/DUO but already available for PRO/NVX (1.61)

I can not do more cause all the build in the thrunk branch are broken

update : 1.61 for NV+/DUO is uploaded

I have a problem with 1.60Light on my ReadyNAS Duo where the daemon seems to crash after only running for a short while. When I look in Installed Add-ons, it still shows it as running but when I try to stop it, it says that it's already stopped.

I've looked in /var/log/daemon.log but there's nothing obvious. Can someone suggest where I may find more info about why it's crashing.

I will download 1.61 and maybe try later but I'd still like to know how to check for this kind of problem.

Thanks in advance.

I am using Transmission 1.6.1 on a ReadyNAS NV+. I load my torrents using "Transmission Remote GUI". I am having a problem with the resulting downloads. Using Windows XP to the Samba share, I can not move/delete files and directories that were created by Transmission. If I open SSH to the ReadyNAS, I see that files The file permissions and ownership are:

-rw-r--r-- nobody nogroup

Is there a way to have Transmission set the default file permissions to allow me to move/delete the downloads without having to launch SSH ?

Is it recommended that one remove the basic standard bittorrent addon prior to installing transmission?

[btaroli]

Oh, FWIW -- and I think this is an add-on item and not a Transmission item -- I have started setting UID, GID, umask, and adjusting nice value in start.sh. I just got tired of the permissions being different than my regular user when the time came for TV bitorrents to be mangled into single-season torrents.

I think someone else commented on a desire to configure these items from the "Addons" property page in Frontview, and I would second that. While it might be non-trivial, there are two good reasons: (1) not everyone has root ssh enabled and (2) it might assist in not having to re-customize start.sh each time I upgrade.

In line with this, is it possible NOT to have Transmission start when installed/upgraded? Or, if you must /run/ it to get the config files updated, to NOT have it background and become a live daemon?

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but how would I go about pausing (or only seeding) downloads between Midday and 2AM? I assuming that I'd edit the settings.json file like this?

Code: Select all

   
"alt-speed-down": 0,
"alt-speed-enabled": true,
"alt-speed-time-begin": 720,
"alt-speed-time-day": 127,
"alt-speed-time-enabled": true,
"alt-speed-time-end": 1560,
"alt-speed-up": 50,


Would this work? How would I enter "alt-speed-time-end" so that it finishes at 2AM? i.e. would it be 120, or 1560 (i.e. 24 hours + 120min after midnight)? Also, what does alt-time-speed-day refer to?

Sorry about all the questions Any help would be appreciated!

Would you be able to share what changes you made to start.sh ? I'd like to make similar "corrections" so the files created by Transmission are more easily accessible.

I am having the same problem, only I experience the problem with Finder on Mac OSX. I have no problem moving/deleting any other files on the ReadyNAS only files downloaded via Transmission (currently using 1.60). I can copy the files to another computer, but can't move from one directory on the ReadyNAS to another.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

I had the same problem, but for me, the solution was handed by majello on page 14 of this thread. Works great on 1.60.

Quote:
To do that, edit the file "/etc/frontview/addons/bin/TRANSMISSION/start.sh" using the ssh access and modify the line startting with "start-stop-daemon" to include the following:

"-g users" -> will set the daemons group to the group "users". of course you need to have that group on your nas.
"-k 0002" -> sets the so called umask and will allow user and group read/write-access, and read access to everybody
"--chuid nobody:users"

so my start.sh says:
start-stop-daemon --chuid nobody:users -g users -k 0002 --start --pidfile /var/run/transmission-daemon.pid --make-pidfile \
--exec /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon --background --nicelevel 5 -- -g /c/addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon

Would you be able to share what changes you made to start.sh ? I'd like to make similar "corrections" so the files created by Transmission are more easily accessible.

Sure. Seems there are a few similar posts in this thread, but here's what I started adding/modifying from the commandline delivered by the addon:

Code: Select all

--chuid <user>:<group>
--umask 2
--nicelevel 8

Thanks "rgakker". My searching prowess must really have lost it's mojo. I did 5 or 6 different searches and never found that prior post.

All credits to majello for coming up with the solution

I upload a new 1.61 with the start patch and also a patch which will make torrent auto-start when added in web ui
