Transmission Plugin for UnRaid v5b11+


Recommended Posts

It is most likely because of the issue i mentioned back on page 2.  a library, glibc, is being installed and should not be.

 

This was a case of changing too many things at once. This was a problem with the simpleFeatures stats collector. Removed it from cron and all is well :)

***No more segfaults???*** 

 

I don't maintain this actively, as there is probably very little demand for it, and I just hacked it together and then got disgruntled as it resulted in segfaults in my logs.  But I think I've gotten around that.

 

I noticed a post from Prostuff1 indicating that the reason that the plugin causes segfaults is that it installs an unnecessary or bad version of a package during install.  I have updated the plugin I modified (it now doesn't include this package).  It seems to work fine on my install, and doesn't appear to segfault/make segfault entries in the logs.  It also appears to behave properly when trying to bring your array offline, which is a big plus. 

 

If interested, grab the file here:

I have been looking for a working torrent plugin, and so far this seems to be the only one i can get to work without lots of errors.

 

So, thank you.

getting an error when it tries to download "http://unraid.benjaminwaller.de/transmission/transmission.png"

 

Seems like the site that hosts that file is currently down.

 

In case anyone else tries this, I did a google search for a transmission.png image, found a good one, put it on my personal webserver, and then edited the .plg file to point to it, and it completed the install after that. Before I did that, it would end once it couldn't download that file. If anyone wants to use the image I used, point your .plg file to "http://flippedcracker.net/transmission.png".

 

sureguy, if you want to update your .plg file to point to my image, you can.

 

Once it's installed, it does seem to work fine. It would be nice to be able to change the settings without editing the settings.json file, but that might just be the nature of Transmission itself. Anyway, thanks for this!

Thanks for the offer flippedcracker.  I decided to put the png file on google code, as it's less likely to have problems than most general hosting sites.

 

I've updated the plugin and it no longer references the broken png link.  You can get it here:

actual version of transmission

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49442039/transmission-2.52_i486-1_W-W.txz

MD5 7439f9bd070dd11868dba2d36096aafa    Just for replace in plugin ;)

Your build DOES NOT have a required file that is included in all my transmission .txz files.  I would NOT replace the one linked above with one included in the plugin.

 

You are specifically missing the file in "usr\local\bin\" from my transmission .txz file.

Yes sorry for that, im already fix this, remove GTK and QT (not needed) and update to 2.52+

(big thanks for W-W for help with this)

 

 

Here code to replace

<FILE Name="/boot/packages/transmission-2.52p-i486-1_W-W.txz" Run="upgradepkg --install-new">
<URL>https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49442039/transmission-2.52p-i486-1_W-W.txz --no-check-certificate</URL>

Transmission 2.52 Plugin:

Many thanks to piotrasd for pointing out that there was a new version, and subsequently fixing it, and prostuff1 for pointing out the issue with the version he was offering. 

 

I've updated the plugin to use the new version, and placed the updated txz in the same place that the plugin is available (googlecode) as that is likely a more accessible location.

 

I've rebooted my unRAID box, and the plugin seems to work, I downloaded ubuntu with it, with no problems.

It might be me who is missing something, but I get the 403 error when connecting to tower:9091...

 

I can't seem to find the settings.json file anywhere? Changed the data dir to /mnt/disk1/.apps/transmission (Since I only have 1 data disk atm) but that folder is empty.

 

find / -name settings.json returns nothing...

Would be really nice to find out whats wrong so I can fix it :P That or find some other package for Transmission or another torrent client for unRAID :P

 

EDIT:

I got utserver working, but how to you remove the transmission plugin? Just remove it from /boot/config/plugins (both plg and the directory in there) and then remove the DataDir ?

My settings.json file is in my data directory:

 

/mnt/cache/.apps/transmission

 

I think you may have to set the data directory to a permanent location via the plugin, then start transmission (which will create the file) then stop transmission to modify the settings.json file.
