[transmission] Transmission 1.76 + DHT download and discussion (OLD THREAD)

[gregor]

my hidden files were not showing, now I see in explorer also .transmission folder with folders blocklists, daemon, resume, torrents and two files stats.benc and unrar.sh

If I now create setting file, is that all I must do to get back to older wersion..
thanks

Yeah, you're right. I forgot about that method.
I'll incorporate that in the next release.

I'm going to add more applications and theme soon to the online repository, even some tweaks for the NMT!

[Ltmarx]

I love this installer! It makes it much more easy to install stuff! Especially when you include automatic installations.

Thank you! I've implemented the automatic install part as well.
It is even setting up the default startup script before installing software now. In the future this step is not necessery anymore for new install scripts.

Dowload beta2 here.

Please anyone, test and post your findings here!

Did you see my post above..
Now I'm lost, I can't access transmission/clutch interface in firefox.
What must I do to get functional transmission again.

[Ger Teunis]

Create .transmission folder
and the settings.json file inside it.

To get you current installation working (thus 1.41 working)

1. Stop torrent in setup
2. Create .transmission folder in root of share
3. Create a new settings.json file in the new .transmission folder
4. Copy paste this in the settings.json file

Code:

{
    "blocklist-enabled": 0,
    "blocklist-updates-enabled": 0,
    "download-dir": "\/share\/Download",
    "download-limit": 200,
    "download-limit-enabled": 0,
    "encryption": 1,
    "lazy-bitfield-enabled": 1,
    "max-peers-global": 300,
    "max-peers-per-torrent": 100,
    "peer-port": 51413,
    "pex-enabled": 1,
    "port-forwarding-enabled": 0,
    "rpc-authentication-required": 0,
    "rpc-password": "",
    "rpc-port": 9091,
    "rpc-username": "",
    "rpc-whitelist": "*.*.*.*",
    "upload-limit": 30,
    "upload-limit-enabled": 0
}

5. start torrent again

Check if desired download dir is /share/Download, if not, change in file (always use \/ as seperation character).
If this all is not working, please revert complete installation using this link (at own risk!) use firmware of you specific hardware, not the popcorn hour one!

Can anyone tell me where the .transmission (settings folder) is stored on the HDX?

I managed to install 1.41b4 on HDX-1000: just created settings.json and modified rpc-port and whitelist.

Ger Teunis,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I did as you told me and now my transmission is working again
I did not modified any prc-port and whitelist (as goran wrote) but what is the most important my torrents are running again.

Again thank you for your help.

unable to download required files:
check internet connection or update your repository file

With transmission 1.41beta4, when I restart the torrent client, it doesn't remember the preferences!
Anyone with the same problem?

(stacktrace)

Thank you for testing on Mono.
Currently I do not support Mono. Looking at the stacktrace it looks like the application is not able to read the user setting called FirstRun. This should be a boolean. Clearly a filerights, even a incomplete implementation on mono part or corrupted user file. Eventually I'll look into to download and user setting problems for mono.

Regarding settings, please check file access rights or ownership on the settings.json in .transmission folder!

Hi Ger:
I have a question. It is possible to transmission give different file extension for downloadings not finished yet (a temporal one)?. Ors have a different folder for downloading/downloaded torrents?

I think that can be useful to access to the downloaded files from the Tv user interface.

Regards

I don't know, anyone else experience with this?

Repository updates
For anyone interrested, i've updated the repoditory and added the following items:

Applications
1. Popdown 1.18, Download manager for NMT
2. StopActiveHDDStandby, tweak by me, stops the NMT actively putting HDD in standby (normal standby will remain)
3. Extended Gaya
4. VeraMono subtitle font
5. TeenB subtitle font

Themes
1. LCARS2, startrek like theme. For those who like that
2. Simplified PCH, thumbed down version of default theme.

Just use Update button on first screen of installer to make these changes visible.

[billgatos]

Damn Gertenius you're working good, you should win a prize fro that effort....

I have to get net at home as soon as possible to be able to test all this new stuff...
Damn my ISP, so lazzy....

[Ltmarx]

Ger, maybe its better to give the installer its own topic. I suspect it will get a lot more users fast! I had an error:
