Transmission add-on crashing on ReadyNas Duo
I'm having stability issues with Transmission on my Duo. The web GUI loses connection with the add-on and the green little indicator in the Duo's web GUI goes gray. I interpret this as the process crashed or stopped in some way. I can restart the Transmission but as soon as I try to do something, e.g., deleting a torrent, Transmission crashes again. I've enabled DHT but shouldn't the Duo have enough power to run Transmission anyway? Or can't I expect this add-on to run on this relatively weak system? I haven't upgraded the RAM either.

Welcome on Unix system.......
Thanks! But i preferred in swedish: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi_%28textredigerare%29 :D - JarnoGGuideyou can just edit the settings.json file via whatever protocol you like using a text editor that supports unix-files. I use Notepad++ and edit the file over CIFS.
If you don't see the addons-config share, you can create a share for it and set permissions for whatever user you like. This might give Transmission permission-problems though. You can also find the directory on the c. You will have to log in (using CIFS) as admin and go to \\ipofnas\c\addons-config\Transmission\transmission-daemon\ to find the settings.json file.
The first option lets you edit the file without having to log in as admin, but might give permission problems for Transmission. You don't have that problem with the last option, but you will have to log in as admin - frarevAspirantGood idea, but how do you create a share on c or addons-config ?
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredThe share is automatically created when you install the Transmission add-on for Sparc or x86.
Do you have the Duo v1 or the Duo v2? - frarevAspirantExact and ok for addons-config (i just saw it has been created), but for c ?
I have old Duo v1 - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredThe "C" share is for the C volume and is accessed when you login to CIFS (i.e. \\ip.address.of.nas) as "admin" (the Frontview user).
- Retired_MemberThat's was "plättlätt" (a piece of cake).
Next question: how can I change the default admin-password? - JarnoGGuideWhen you're logged into Frontview, go to the menu item "Security" then click "Admin Password"

Sorry if I was not clear, I mean in Transmission.
