New Transmission add-on thread

Before installing Transmission 2.13 I uninstalled 2.11. The new version works fine. Then I tried to disable the transmition service (I tried to understand why I could not write anything in the webroot). When I tried to run a service that did not happen because of an error. After rebooting ReadyNas I discovered the loss of some shares. As a result, I had to restore the configuration ReadyNas of the stored copy and reinstall Transmition. After that, everything worked again.

Hi. I am a new owner of an Ultra and have been trying to get Transmission 2.13 to work. Here is my problem: Before installing the add-on, I had a share named "Media" with a folder named "BitTorrent". After installing the add-on and completing one torrent download, I was unable to find the downloaded file(s). After searching the forums for some information I found that rebooting was required to see the folders etc. After rebooting, I was able to see the files in "Media/BitTorrent" but all my other folders from the share had disappeared. I found a similar issue in an older post [http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=32865&start=0] I also noticed a separate share in the share listing named "media", which I could not see in explorer. When I uninstalled the add-on, my folders reappeared and the downloaded data disappeared. I tried renaming the share "Media" to "media" but for some reason I am unable to rename it. Re-installing the add-on once again hides all the other folders, and brings back the downloaded files. Can someone please help? Update: With Transmission installed, all folders in "Media" are missing when browsing with explorer (win 7). On the other hand, if I browse using an ftp client, I can see all folders/files but not the files downloaded by transmission. Update: It seems that Transmission is creating a new share called "media" which is making the existing share "Media" invisible somehow. I had tried editing the "settings.json" file to change "c\media\BitTorrent" to "c\Media\BitTorrent", but after making this change, the Transmission service refused to start.

Transmission do check if a directory /c/Media exist (because some users change media to Media) , in this case it will use it and create the transmission directories.
By Default transmission use /c/media. the default media path created by frontview is /c/media.

I just jeck the code and the code is correct. Will take a look deeper to understand what's happened

Transmission is awsome

Which password shall be set in?
transtart.sh
transtop.sh

The FrontView admin password or any password?
Or shall both be changed to the same as the user and password in settings.json?

My setup
Transmission 2.11 (upgrading from 2.01 I think)
RAIDiator 4.1.7

must be the same as the one you put in settings.json

Great!
That was a bit unclear in the install guide. Thanks

One other thing, after the Transmission update I updated PHP Support to 1.3 and that crashed Transmission (and at that stage there was no Create torrent button in Frontview). But I reinstalled Transmission and now everything works.

Stupid question maybe but what do those addon .bin files do exactly?
Do they contain a compiled version of transmission and all the dependencies?

I'm just curious because I just got r11629 to compile and it was quite a hassle (tons of reading until I had all the dependencies right).
In the end this worked:

./autogen.sh --build=sparc-linux --disable-nls --disable-gtk

yes it does contain everything

so will it overwrite newer versions and thus possibly break other add-ons or will it just look what's installed and try to work with that first?

what do you mean ?

The addon will install the transmission files and all the required libraries.
The addon do not delete libraries so software using older version should work

Here's how I finally fixed the problem:
1) Uninstall Transmission
2) Move all files/folders from "Media" to another location
3) Delete "Media", create new share "media"
4) Install Transmission (reboot nas to make sure)
5) Move files back to "media".
