New Transmission add-on thread

Hi SuperPoussin - any luck on receiving a new ReadyNAS Duo yet? I am experiencing the same issues as other SPARC users where TransmissionBT just dies after a short period of time and requires re-enabling in FrontView.
If the ReadyNAS Duo v1 is soon going to be an unsupported device, it would be nice to be left with a BT client that can handle magnets and works reliably.

Hammer, tacks, sticky-back plastic, welding, Elastoplast or splint.... :D

Well I have tried 2.51 and 2.52 and in both cases, when I try to add the addon, the cursor spins indefinitely during install. After about and hour I finally hit the brower refresh, and it appears in frontview, but apparantly broken state. I cannot start it. I try to remove it and it will not remove itself either, gives me message bout invalid checksum.

This addon is not good.

how to manually remove this from SSH please?

on ultra2+

Found it. Apparently the Transmission plugin doesn't function properly if the /c/media share doesn't exist. I had removed it. Now that I've put it back, all problems seem gone. EDIT: You know what, never mind. I did a complete reinstall to see if everything worked, and the problem is right back. Fourth factory default this weekend. Are there any instructions for installing Transmission myself without the plugin? Or how to install the plugin from within the shell rather than Frontview?

This addon is foobar. Yes please we need instructions for how to manually uninstall this thing because I don't want to factory default over it.

i think your first point is related to the failed to start message in FrontView. FrontView doesn't save Transmission as being a running service and thus does not try to start it again at startup. I've got this problem as well and I've got no idea how to solve it besides not turning my NAS off.

Sorry to dig up old post but has anybody found a fix for this? Is this just normal and we have to live with it?

I haven't come across any kind of fix. I think that either SuperPoussin is working on it, waiting for a donor ReadyNAS Duo v1 or has just left it in favour of other live projects. I'm kind of annoyed in that it leaves my ReadyNAS Duo without a torrent client that can handle magnet links which severely impacts its usefulness. Transmission was worth my money and now I feel it has been left to rot in a broken state....

Well thats interesting and disappointing. I have an Ultra 2+ will the identical problem though. Is this issue usually native to the duo?

Not sure the Duo v1's issue is (I think) a memory leak which causes the service to die on its feet, and needing a restart. Usually once every few minutes, and babysitting your NAS is a bit of a waste of time.

well at least there is utorrent, which seems to work fine. You could also try to manually install Transmission instead of relying on the addon to do it.

Does uTorrent work on the SPARC Duo?

oh probably not. sorry.
