Great… thanks for your quick reply @Fox_exe
I really appreciate to you for this tips. Now I can use Bubbleupnp and Plex.
Still, I have a problem when I try to play streaming video from my WD My Cloud (which is away from my house) to Chromecast 2.
I tried Plex and FTP streaming.
Plex only works for some File format and resolution, for example, 360p MP4. If I try 720p MP4, the voice is not available after 10 seconds.
FTP streaming works well for my computer and Android phone (with ES File Explorer), but it does not work when I try to stream video from Android to Chromecast2.
Does anyone have an idea?
Does it works wells if I move my WD My Cloud inside my house and using DLNA?
“ES Explorer” and network shares - Works great.
sry, I can’t find the <chroot-jessie-gen2.tar.gz> download url.
would you show me.
thx!
First of all thank you very much for your effort!
I’ve innstalled now the debian bin for my mycloud mirror gen2 but chroot-debian.sh says it can’t find chroot.
I’ve moved everything to HD_a2/ so everything is at HD_a2/chroot/ but still the same. Appending /bin/bash/ made it work however if I install a deb package the command can’t be found (cyberduck).
Isn’t this supposed to be working or what am I doing wrong?
Can’t find the file chroot-jessie-gen2.tar.gz to upload.
Pse support me.
Thanks
hi, i don’t know where is chroot-jessie-gen2.tar.gz link to down load. Please help me. tks
Read first post (Fixed)
Tks u very much
now i have problem with minidlna server. MiniDLNA status is 0 video, 0 Audio, 0 Image. Please tell me how to fix it.
I always thank you for sharing this. Recently, I connected an external hard driver, and I want for Transmission to save torrent download in external hard driver. I tried but I cannot find the root to external hard driver in chroot. (I can find the root before I go inside chroot).I tried to mount sdb1 but the console says it is already mounted. Can somebody help me?
Hi all.
I need a little explanation please.
I have a mirror gen2 4tb, i have found the right Debian app.
How we make permanent the chroot?
My target is install from chroot the lftp (apt-get install lftp?) because i wrote a script in bash that do a mirror from a personal ftps to a local folder (i am using It in a Mac at the moment).
This script (It’s a .sh extension file) should be launched with a cron schedule at every hour.
So basically i need explanation
-path of chroot
-is It permanent or how to make permanent
-where i need to edit the cron job for my script.sh to make It permanent even after reboot
Hy, if you want to install only transmission is very easy. You need only to download the version of a transmission and try to install directly from your webui.
Go to web interface
In “URL” field (In your browser) type:
javascript:APP_INSTALL_FUNCTION=1; APPS_EULA=1; check_app_eula();
Alternative way: Press [ctrl] + [shift] + [i], open “Console” tab, put this and hit [enter]:
APP_INSTALL_FUNCTION=1; APPS_EULA=1; check_app_eula();
Go to Apps tab and install “WD_Crack” app.
Refresh page and install any other apps.
Hi!
Which are the steps I need to do to use this Debian in my WD My Cloud Gen 2?
This is what I have done:
- Install the WDCrack app
- Install the Debian app
- Enable SSH
Now … ¿what should I do? In the first message of this thread Fox_exe said that the next step is to run “chroot /mnt/HD/HD_a2/chroot /bin/bash”, but I don’t have that folder.
Should I run any of the scripts placed in the “/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/Debian/” folder?
Thanks 
Hi again!
I am not able to install anything in the Chroot Debian. This is what I am trying to do:
~ # chroot /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/Debian/chroot /bin/bash
root@WDMyCloud:/# apt-get install python
And this is the output:

Torrents uses much more cpu than regular file downloads, because there is so many different algorithms spin “under the hood”: Managing dozens of download flows, checking checksums, encryption, etc.
10MBps - almost maximum for this slow CPU.
