**UPDATE-Transmission 2.20 standard/lightweight

[recliq]

Link to repository? No problem:
But what about installing from WAM, that's what the repository is for...

I have to admit I haven't tested installing from WAM...

I reproduced it here, most likely you get the "failed" message when transmission is not enabled yet in config... I will try to change that.
However the app is loaded, just transmission fails to start, so the WAM message is misleading...

I noticed nother bug in the init script, it doesn't activate the webend plugin correctly as it seem, you need to execute load.webplugins on shell or reboot, will fix that as well.

That's why you'd have a bunch of idiotproof betatesters at your disposal

Indeed, I got it working too by twerking some bits around - the "failed" should indeed have been replaced by a "warning: please set transmission_workingdir in webend". The installation worked flawless, but starting the service was more painful

In the end, transmission worked fine, speed seems better than rtorrnent, but I definitely like the "black list" and "scheduling" features!

Thanks recliq, you made my day

hi recliq
thanks for this. i've just updated from the transmission 2.03 to the 2.84 version & have come across a small bug.

in the settings i want to disable the incomplete downloads directory but whatever i do it gets re-enabled after the transmission daemon is restarted (i have setup my wdtv to turn off the daemon when i watch movies as it would freeze up if i left it on. so i turn on/off the transmission daemon often). strange thing is that is the only setting that doesnt stick. i have changed port/dht etc & they all stick but not this setting. i also tried manually editing the "incomplete-dir-enabled" setting to false in the settings.json but no go.

would appreciate your help in this matter

thanks

i'm on 1.02.21 0.5.0.0 flashed version btw

i tried a few work arounds to start transmission with the --conf-dir setting but since the /apps/transmission/etc/init.d/S99transmission is in a read only FS & always overwrites the config file on startup havent been able to figure it out

does the 2.52 version have the same issue?

Recliq, found an inconsistancy in naming convention regarding transmission - I wanted to connect with another pc to the transmission webend: got an rpc-whitelist setting error (in settings.json). Hardcare as I am, updated the file with the new ip address, poofff, got reset by something, which seemed to be the (du'h) /conf/config. In there, someone used the name "TRANSMISSION_ALLOWED", I think it would be more fun to have it named TRANSMISSION_RPC_WHITELIST or something similar.
What do you think?

I think so, since it was built by me as well...

It's not that easy to change for you, you would have to copy the init script to usb, modify it and bind mount it over the existing one on every boot...

but check out WAM, there should be an update available...

Let me know if this fix helps.
