[APP] Transmission various versions for firmware V4+ (05/2020)

Nazar78 · December 20, 2014, 1:24am

Hmm seems the bashrc doesn’t work, try placing it into the .profile instead.

Edit the /root/.profile using nano: “nano /root/.profile”. Also change the ones in crontab: “crontab -e”. Run: “su root” or reopen your ssh terminal. Restart transmission: “transmission-stop && transmission-daemon”.

Don’t forget to clear your browser cache else the default theme will load.

Now it works like a charm… Thanks a lot for your help!

Great Guide

I just have one question how can I get magnet links to auto start with this? If possible at all

Nazar78 · December 21, 2014, 2:13pm

You mean remotely? I use the android app Remote Transmission. It launches on magnet URI clicks. You have to forward port 9091 on your router to access Transmission externally.

On the nas itself use “transmission-cli magnet_uri”.

On PC I’m not sure. Previously I wrote a personal program to relay magnet URIs but it was for uTorrent webgui.

Hi,

I’m abit new to this installation, so far so good (3 months). But I don;t know how to lock my transmission login from outside… If you know the port, you can connect to it and see torrents. This wasn’t possible with previous version, as it was asking for credentials. I’ve entered in settings.json (daemon stopped), rcp-username and rcp-password, but it’s not asked as I browse to my domain.

Could you please help me?

There is problem with accessing downloaded files from Transmission 2.84 V4.

This is a step what I reproduce the problem.

Set the transmission download folder in Non-Public folder. (Public is OK)
Edit settings.json - umask = 18 to 0
Download something by transmission.
Permission of files are 660 and folders are 666. Owner of both is root.

5. I cannot access on the downloaded by my Windows laptop.

So I Edit etc/samba/smb-global.conf. - force group = share to root
R/W is OK but cannot executable… (because permission is still 660)

I want to fully access downloaded files with specific account (non-public folder)

Help!

Think you missed out: “rpc-enabled”: true,

Stop the daemon, edit as above and restart the daemon…

Have you set the gid for the download path?

If you need a permanent permission, try “getfacl --help” and “setfacl --help”.

chmod g+s ./path;

setfacl -d -m g::rwx ./path;

Hello

Thanks for the work, I try to install transmission but the http://nazar.bagus.org/wdmycloud link doesnt answer.

can you do something ?

Thank you

Phil

Well, actually it’s true, but I think this is wrong:

"rpc-authentication-required": false,
    "rpc-bind-address": "0.0.0.0",
    "rpc-enabled": true,
    "rpc-password": "{wvergrewhthrhw.y",
    "rpc-port": 9091,
    "rpc-url": "/transmission/",
    "rpc-username": "majklas",
    "rpc-whitelist": "",
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": false,

“rpc-authentication-required”: false ← this line

No problem. I have no plans for MC now. Currently taking my time working on something which allows users to host website such as owncloud and wordpress on WDMyCloud.

But for MC there’s a repo setup by one of our forum user @Fox_exe which you can manually install via apt-get.

Hancas · December 22, 2014, 12:57pm

is there any link for that mc setup?

Nice, we’d get apache to run on our wd cloud? can’t wait for it

Apache2 is already running on WDMyCloud serving the WD Dashboard and remote logins. The big concern is doing custom modifications without breaking WD’s stuffs, which is the reason why I created all these online installer so we don’t have to mess with apt-get and brick the nas :laughing:

unfortunately your answer is not effective :cry:

Permission of my transmission download folder is…

drwxrwsrwx+ 6 root share 4096 Dec 23 01:03 Transmission

and downloaded file by transmission is…

-rw-rw----+ 1 root root 17165432 Dec 23 01:03 Play.exe

Only R/W… no Executable

I think that “umask” option in setting.json is not working.

@Jason5

I don’t usually execute files from the torrent download path in fact I move them elsewhere after seeding. You might wanna try the transmission forum for help.
