New Transmission 2.84 add-on for ReadyNAS Duo/NV+ (sparc)
This is a newly compiled version for the Duo straight from source. It has been configured with "--disable-nls --enable-lightweight --enable-utp" and the default web interface port of 9091.
If it doesn't work after installation, try rebooting.
Not sure if it can be install over the top of super-poussin's version, but if you are planning on uninstalling super-poussin's version then remember to save the torrent files somewhere else first.
To quote myself:
Thanks to super-poussin for the original Transmission add-ons.
Enjoy!

It seems the best approach is to fully uninstall the old, delete the config directory, and then install this add-on. Once you're on this add-on, updating is straightforward and can be done over the existing version.
Just a fyi - the default download dir is /var/local/Downloads and there is no username and password with this add-on. If you are prompted for them then the old version was not fully uninstalled.

- spacecrapAspirantHi there,
I just upgraded to Transmission 2.81 and found out that I could enter the transmission web interface, but:
- all the downloads are gone from the overview (I probably have to add this manually?);
- New downloads won't start downloaden.
I have an open port, but the downloads just won't start, what can I do to fix this?
edit; strange.. it seems that the RPC port was still on 8181 in stead of 9091.. i changed this in the .json and one of the downloads works now... the other ones don't yet.... - tarobunTutorThanks for the donation. :)
Much appreciated! - Russell_CoightAspirantumask 0 fixed it :)
I had cracked the shits woth Transmission and seriosuly considered upgrading to a newer unit, hoping that would fix the issues, don't have to now :)
Donation coming your way :) Thanks for putting the time into old units like these. - tarobunTutor

One problem though, I'm unable to delete any files/folders that transmission has downloaded, permission error. Permissions are nobody/nogroup.
Is there anything I can do?
Hmmm... not sure. That's the default permissions which is recommended by the transmission team to be "world-writable" (umask=0).
Maybe try playing around with the "umask" setting in the settings.json? Might need to do a bit of reading. :) - tarobunTutorJust tested watch-dir and it works fine.
Make sure the directory exists and use
"watch-dir-enabled": true - wilwaiAspirantThank you very much for the 2.81 it run so well in my NV+ :)
However, did the watch directory function still working on 2.81?
Dose the following text still working?
"watch-dir": "/c/media/BitTorrent/sources/",
"watch-dir-enabled": 1
Thank you very much. - Russell_CoightAspirant

Is now working :) Thanks for the help
In the log was:
Couldn't bind port 51413 on 0.0.0.0: Address already in use (Is another copy of Transmission already running?)
No version of Transmission was running, but the version that comes with the NAS was installed, so I deleted that and it worked.
One problem though, I'm unable to delete any files/folders that transmission has downlaoded, permission error. Permissions are nobody/nogroup.
Is there naything I can do?
thanks - tarobunTutorUpdated to version 2.81
Changes:
All Platforms- Fix 2.80 bug that showed the incorrect status for some peers
- Better handling of announce errors returned by some trackers
Web Client- Slightly better compression of png files
Also changed default download dir to /c/media/BitTorrent - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredIt's a Linux path.
A path such as /c/media/BitTorrent or something like that would be better. - flamesong1Aspirant

Well, having taken the radical action that I did, my Transmission v2.80 and RAIDiator 4.1.12 are still working having previously crashed very shortly after every start. Given that for me Transmission 2.42 did not work with RAIDiator 4.1.12 anyway - maybe for the same reasons - I'm just glad to have any version of Transmission working again.
The path quoted is not quite what mine had which was '/var/local//Downloads' which has // - I don't know what that means but it doesn't look right.
Yes, the path does look like a Mac path but as has been said, it comes up by default.
