ReadyNAS NVX - transmission 2.82 not starting
Hi friends.
I have been using transmission addon since forever. I have never had problems until I upgraded from version 2.7x to 2.82. After this update the addon wont start.
I have a copy of my settings.json file here (note umask is 0)
If i revert back to the old version everything works fine, tho i am NOT satisfied with my upload speed on this version. All the nessesary ports are open
best regards

- 2.84 will start/stop when fresh install, but as soon as i edit the settings.json, i get an error saying "transmission service failed to start"
but i can remote download via
Transmission Remote GUI on my computer
Transdroid on my phone and tablet
i can get access via the web interface for transmission
but no green light in frontview for transmission to say its loaded, if i reboot my NAS, i have to try and restart via frontview again
the only settings i have changed in settings.json are
"download-dir":
"incomplete-dir":
"watch-dir":
"rpc-port": - How did you edit that file?
If you use an incompatible editor you can mess up the formatting of settings.json - i have tried using nano direct from command line, i have tried using WinSCP and edit it with Ultraedit and Brackets, all edited from a fresh install after deleting the /c/addons-config/Transmission folder
get the same thing on every editor - You didn't copy the file somewhere else, edit it and copy it back did you? Best to edit the file in place.
- the nano edit was done on the nas and that was the last one i tried, i thought the same that using WinSCP and editing it with ultraedit and brackets may be breaking the format in some way
but even using nano it fails to start
