[ Transmission CSI ] v2.71-dath1 (21 October 2012)

[clarkzara]

Hello, need some help. though transmission is working ok in my PCH, my only problem is that my default directory keeps going back to /share/downloads. I tried to change it to my external hdd but each i switch my pch off then switch on, it goes back to the defaul directory of /share/downloads. Hope someone can help. Note that i installed transmission using my external hdd since my PCH does not have an internal hdd.

I have seen that many people have trumble editing settings file.
Just reinstall Trasmission from CSI, you will find it in the list.
Then stop the application and edit config as you like. Simple

@clarkzara: You neeed to edit daemon.sh inside transmission folder, delete lines from 48 to 51.

This is incorrect. Those lines are only executed when settings.json does not exist. They are default settings. Deleting them should not change anything.

Clarkzara, how did you try to change those settings? Are you sure that changing other (more trivial settings, like bandwith) are being saved? What is the new path you are trying to set.

hi dathrarhek,
i only changed the download path frm /share/Download to /Data/Movie (this is the path in my external hd. and it works each time i upload a torrent it downloads directly to said path in my external hd. i changed such settchng thru d transmission webservices in my pch. the problem is each time i restart my pch it goes back to the default download path (/share/Download/). note that since my pch does nt have internal hd, i installed all nmt applications in my external hd. i simply creatd a nfts partition so i cn view my extrnal hd in my pc

As a matter of fact yes it is. Check the first post for new release

The changes are:
Version 2.42-dath2 (12 December 2011):
- Start the daemon as the "nmt" user. Fixes permission issues
- Use NMT's tar to build package. Makes A110 tar happy.

@Clarkzara
You did not answer whether changing any other setting is being saved. Can you also try setting it to /share/Test and see if the problem is with the directory being on the external HD (because the external disk is mounted later it might be).

Sorry but how do I enter a blocklist? Everytime I put, for example "http://iblocklist.commiecast.com/f/tagqfxtteucbuldhezkz/bt_level1.gz" , into the blocklist field it jumps back to "http://www.example.com/blocklist" and shows me "Blocklist has 0 rules". Any ideas?

Now I tried to put the bt_level1.gz manually into the blocklist folder in Apps/Transmission/blocklist since Transmission should parse the GZip into it's own bin format (https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Blocklists). After restarting Transmission the bt_level1.bin is created but it has only 0kb and so again "Blocklist has 0 rules".

deamon.log is full of "[14:43:55.195] blocklist skipped invalid address at line 9555 (blocklist.c:368)"

Thanks

I suppose you're using the web interface? I could replicate your bug, I think it's a bug with the webinterface itself.

As workaround you can set the blocklist url in settings.json (stop transmission first), then try to press the update blocklist button within the webinterface. This worked successfully for me.

I'm exploring this a bit more, but I think I'll fill a bug with the transmission team.

Works now. Thank you for letting me feel save again.

3. After booting, you'll have full access to "settings.json" and "config" folder.

It is not necessary to uncheck and reboot. After you stopped Transmission through CSI you still have access to the settings. When you saved your changes just restart Transmission through CSI. No need for rebooting.

So it is easy and quick to try the behaviour of changes made to it.

You're right. Rebooting was always necessary on my A-110; so I had to disable the "start on boot" flag for editing the files. I couldn't access to those files just by stopping Transmission; I always needed to reboot. But it was probably a bug on my A110 (http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...3&page=8).

After installing this build (previous 2.42 didn't work at all due to known error), I can no longer gain access to transmission on my series 100. Neither TransmissionRemote works nor the web interface. Also, in "NMT Applications" the Torrent item is always stopped - which is wrong - and starting it manually doesn't seem to do the trick. Restarting NMT didn't help. Had to downgrade to tried and true 2.13.

Sorry, but what it means your last phrase? Are you running 2.13 successfully or not?

Probably you got some kind of corruption inside your NMT. I guess the best way for you will be re-installing NMT applications. But first step, read the first post and made a backup of your working torrents. Second step, you better go to the installed applications tab when in NMT CSI, and uninstall every apps visible there. You should also check (via Samba) if inside share\Apps specific folders disappear. Delete Transmission folder if still there.

You'll need an USB stick with NMT firmware on it. Then go to "maintenance" and follow instructions for reinstalling NMT apps preserving your media. After reboot, check if all embedded NMT apps are running normally. Then go for the CSI install, and recover your backup for Transmission config.

If reinstalling NMT apps fails, probably you'll have to walk the reinstalling firmware way. But that means you'll need to backup your media.

I added a torrent via the Transmission (v2.42 dath2) web interface. However the I can't see the download of this torrent in the 'Web Service - Transmission' on my PCH C-200?
Is there a solution? Or a know bug?

I can't access to those files just by stopping Transmission; I always need to reboot. Maybe it's not the case on A-200 (I don't own it), but I guess other 100 series owners will have to go this way.

That would be a bug. Can you give me the output of "ls -l /share/Apps/Transmission/config" before and after stopping Transmission through CSI.

Please look in the first post to see "How to report issues". I need the contents of those files, without them I can't have any clue where it's going wrong.

Hmm.. the pre 2.42 versions has a bug which made all torrents invisible. Are all torrents invisible? Can you also check whether you can see the Free disk correctly in the top right corner.
