ReadyNAS NVX - transmission 2.82 not starting

[mcpeterc]

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

[super_poussin]

Any chance of sharing how to fix? I've not been able to get 2.82 running since you released it.

Thanks!

2.83 worked initially on load. However, once I stopped it, changed the settings.json file to a different port and different rpc password, I could not get Transmission to start back up again.

Thanks for your support.

Hello everyone,

I have an Ultra 4 Plus running 4.2.25 and I cannot get Transmission to work. I had 2.80 working at one point, but after upgrading to 2.82 I always got the "Transmission service failed to start" error.
I tried to reverting back to 2.80 to see if that would fix things ... didn't help, same error. I also tried the 2.83 linked in this thread but no dice.

my settings.json file is shown below

Thanks in advance

i am getting the same error, Transmission Service Failed to Start

using 2.82, the dropbox link above is not there anymore

anyone else have any luck with this?

[mdgm-ntgr]

What about 2.84?: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ie9pwk1wut72ias/AAD_HIRY_g3sJvEzXZjPS4sSa/x86-4.2?dl=0

[Kymru]

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":

[mdgm-ntgr]

How did you edit that file?

If you use an incompatible editor you can mess up the formatting of settings.json

[Kymru]

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

[mdgm-ntgr]

You didn't copy the file somewhere else, edit it and copy it back did you? Best to edit the file in place.

[Kymru]

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
