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.

- pepsi1AspirantHere's my feedback on the addon.
In short words: No can do..
For instance:
in start.sh: transmission-daemon is send to the foreground by the '-f ' option. But when the start-stop-daemon is called to throw the transmission-daemon to the background, the command breaks on the first fact. The correct option would be the '-g' and than the location of the 'settings.json'file. But if you set the TRANSMISSION_HOME variable correctly, you don't need that option.
Second. The environment variable "TRANSMISSION_HOME" is set incorrectly. This must be set tot the same directory as where the 'settings.json' file is.
Third: binaries does not belong into the '/etc' directory. Binaries belong (in this case) in /usr/local/bin - tarobunTutorI find that if I don't use the '-f' (foreground) option the settings don't get saved when the addon is stopped. Probably should remove the --background option in start.sh as it is redundant in this case.
Not sure why you think TRANSMISSION_HOME is set incorrectly. It is set to '/c/addons-config/Transmission' which is where the settings.json is found.
For the binaries, I prefer to put all the files in one directory so they are easy for me to find. For me (and others I'm guessing) it doesn't really matter as we don't remote into the NAS to run the transmission commands directly. But feel free to move them to /usr/local/bin

Has the email alert function been removed?
I've configured my NV+ to use an external email server, installed the 'email_alert' script and changed the relevant setting to 'true' in the settings file - but it still doesn't work for me.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks

@Kels
I'm still using the email alerting facility from the SuperPoussin version. I remember having issues initially when I wanted to get emails. I had it all configured but it would just never send an email. Turns out it was permissions on the script file weren't set to 'x' (execute) so it could never be called. After that it was fine. Not long ago I combined my email alert script with an unrar/unzip script to extract torrents after completion which makes my life a bit easier. - kelsAspirant@emk
My email_alert file permissions are set as: -rwxrwxrwx+
Here's a copy of my file for exim:#!/bin/sh
NAIL=/usr/bin/nail
SMTP_SERVER=smtp.orange.fr
SUBJECT="Torrent Done!"
if [ -f /etc/frontview/alert.conf ]; then
EmailTo=`/bin/grep "email" /etc/frontview/alert.conf | /usr/bin/awk -F '!!' '{ print $2 }' | /usr/bin/awk -F ',' '{ print $1 " " $2 " " $3 }'`
else
EmailTo=`/bin/grep "email" /frontview/conf/alert.conf | /usr/bin/awk -F '!!' '{ print $2 }' | /usr/bin/awk -F ',' '{ print $1 " " $2 " " $3 }'`
fi
if [[ "$(readlink `which sendmail`)" = "/usr/bin/msmtp" ]]; then
EmailFrom=`/bin/grep '^from' /etc/msmtprc | /usr/bin/cut -f2 -d' '`
else
EmailFrom=`/bin/echo $EmailTo | awk '{ print $1 }'`
fi
echo "From:$EmailFrom To:$EmailTo"
# Create the email message
EmailFile=/tmp/tmp_email.txt
if [ -f "$EmailFile" ]; then
rm -f $EmailFile
fi
touch $EmailFile
# Create the message headers
echo "Date: `date -R`" >> $EmailFile
echo "From: $EmailFrom" >> $EmailFile
echo "To: $EmailTo" >> $EmailFile
echo "Subject:Torrent Done!" >> $EmailFile
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0" >> $EmailFile
echo "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1" >> $EmailFile
echo "" >> $EmailFile
# Create the message body
/bin/echo " Hostname: $HOSTNAME" >> $EmailFile
/bin/echo "Transmission finished downloading \"$TR_TORRENT_NAME\" on $TR_TIME_LOCALTIME" >> $EmailFile
/bin/echo "" >> $EmailFile
/bin/echo "----------------------------------------------------------------------" >> $EmailFile
/bin/echo "Your add-ons developer Super-Poussin" >> $EmailFile
/bin/cat $EmailFile |/usr/sbin/sendmail -f $EmailFrom $EmailTo
#$NAIL -v -S from="$EmailFrom" -S smtp -s "$SUBJECT" -S smtp=$SMTP_SERVER "$EmailTo" < $EmailFile
rm -f $EmailFile
#################################################################################################################
# you can use nail instead of readynas exim in this case : #
# uncomment the $NAIL line #
# comment the message header section #
# put a correct SMTP_SERVER value #
#################################################################################################################
#################################################################################################################
# this script will work with exim if you use custom parateters in frontview aka you specify : #
# username #
# smtp server ans so on #

Test exim emails get through - but nothing from Transmission!
