Transmission client isn't available

me too got the same issue

I think I have found out the way it works. I didn’t know what exactly vi was when @Alex_AAFD told me. After checking the link out a second time, I know it is a kinda text editor for command lines. So, the complete process is…

  1. open terminal in MAC and write “ssh sshd@192.168.1.xxx” (device IP)
  2. write ps and look for Transmission directory
  3. go to the directory: cd /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/Transmission/config (in my case)
  4. write in the prompt: vi settings.json. (if you want you can use “ls” command to see the files in it)
  5. look for “rpc-bind-address”: “127.0.0.1”
  6. change the number by hitting r while the cursor is over the character to change, and then write 0. The same for. “7” and press x for “2” and “1” in order to delete them
  7. Save the file by writing at the end of the file :wq (first press escape a few times)
  8. restart the service as @iqboss suggested: pkill -HUP transmission-da

anyone know how now i can install MC (midnight commander) on new system (5.0)?

and how to Permanently on this option https://i.imgur.com/dHZ4isF.jpg ??

I am not professional user, this too complicated for me…

WD, please fix this!

Why not working this on OS 5?

I hope WD fix and improve the problem with Transmission. However I am happy with OS5 in general terms. It improves a lot the performance of my NAS. It is much faster and I haven’t got any disconnection anymore so far. I was thinking about substitute my EX2 Ultra because of that. When you improve something, other problems emerge; it’s normal as long as WD keeps improving the firmware.
Anyway, the decision about delivering firstly the OS5 without Transmission has been a big mistake, guys. Don’t do that again :smiling_imp:

I have noticed my torrent port is not “opening” on my router. I even tried manually setting a port forward on my router.
But after OS5, nothing is the same…

I have fix it , not the best way , is working for me.

by changing this settings see 3 print screens links

Open the port on your router

I updated the setting.json file as described and restarted transmission.
Now I get below error when I fire the url:

Any ideas?

And I agree … WD should fix these issues! Not good advertising!

Hi, has anyone found a solution to access trasmission without the mycloud GUI “config” button? I can only access from the panel after the login, is very annoing and I can’t configure any app (e.g. android app) to access it directly from my lan. Plese help!

Hi I just received an email to update my apps Transmission and Plex, but, how can I update?
Thanks

you cant update till WD firmware update , and want advice you to uninstall transmission and install because it will install the new update and you want see it at the NAS apps

few days ago i get a notice to update my transmission client from web
when i tried to unistall transmision and install again app dissapiear from package list
now i cant install transmission - anyone can help me?

@benqu, are you running 5.07.118 firmware? Try upgrade to that and see if the app update shows up.

be aware of the fact that you will lose the torrent list you were seeding when you update Transmission. At least, that occurred to me. I cant believe something like that can happen when you update the app.

I received notification on wd panel on www and unistall transmision, when i tried to install it with new version (now it was 1.13 on wd) i cannot instal it because i dont have it available on app list in store (transmission dissapeared from store), i try many thing and one of them help me - i change language from polish to english and install same firmware from site as i have installed earlier and now with enlglish language transmission appeared in store and i can install it, and support change the way of runing and configuring tranmision client (some kind of setup launcher) but as tauut mentioned before
a whole list of torrent list have been wasted

OS5 now has direct access to the web interface. But 9092 or 9091 ports are not used. Connection port for remote control is 80. (OS5 5.07.118)

*web interface see address bar

*remote gui
