rTorrent + Download Station + wTorrent?

[lucian.jp]

Hi everyone,

My original goal was to update the rTorrent version 0.8.2 to 0.8.5 of the Download Station, and after install wTorrent to have both web-ui running on the same instance of rTorrent to be able to have more control over my torrents. Unfortunately, I failed. With the wikis and the help of forum I managed to update rTorrent with ipkg but then realized that the Download Station still uses the rTorrent 0.8.2.

From my understanding of different comment on the forum, the Download Station runs its own config file of rTorrent and a different compiled version, which makes it impossible to upgrade the Download Station version of rTorrent and since it doesn't use the standard .rtorrent.rc config file won't work the same time with wTorrent.

So based on this, making both working together seems impossible. I thought about making the two instances point to the same temp directory so the torrent file would be seeded by both, but the session directory specify that only one instance at the time can run.

So is what I'm trying to do doable? Can I update the Download Station version of rTorrent and can I run both web-ui pointing on the same rTorrent?

Thanks

There was an issue with xmlrpc-c_1.11.00-3_powerpc.ipk. You should downgrade to xmlrpc-c_1.11.00-2 which should work. Try that first. I can't downgrade the package so I don't know.

When I have time I will write my own guide on howto install wtorrent. I alreay discovered that the way the wiki does it only complicates things.

Unfortunately the xmlrpc-c_1.11.00-2 file doesn' seem to be available anywhere. I've searched for too long now and I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I'd be happy to host it. Let me know if any of you have the file.

keodk, do the instructions posted on the Wiki for obtaining xmlrpc-c_1.11.00-2 not work?


via this page

lucian.jp, keep the rest of us informed on how this goes. I'd be interested in doing the same thing.

Hi John, thought I had subscribed to the thread, but it appears that I hadn't.

No, the wiki seems to be outdated. Unfortunately maartendamen.com doesn't host the files anymore and I haven't been able to find the xmlrpc-c_1.11.00-2 anywhere else.

I'd really like to install rtorrent w/ruTorrent webui on my syno, but it seems impossible without the right files...

Anyone.. let me know if you have this file: xmlrpc-c_1.11.00-2

[TRiPgod]

Wonder if the newer xmlrpc-c versions will work. 1.16 ??
This 1.11.00-2 is nowhere to be found.

I got rutorrent + rtorrent working by compiling xmlrpc-c "stable" version 1.16.25 from svn. Someone really ought to update the wiki.

EDIT:
Here's instructions on how to do this.

First you need to install the bootstrap for your processor to get ipkg working. Login as root through SSH and install the following the packages if they aren't installed already:

Code: Select all

ipkg install optware-devel gcc rtorrent libtorrent

Next, you need to download the xmlrpc-c stable source code from the subversion repository, with these commands:

Code: Select all

cd /root
REPOS=http://xmlrpc-c.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xmlrpc-c/stable
svn checkout $REPOS xmlrpc-c


Now you run the configure script:

Code: Select all

cd xmlrpc-c
./configure --prefix=/opt

If the above ipkg packages satisfied all the build dependencies of xmlrpc-c, the configuration script should run without errors. If you get an error, then I missed something and you can either locate and install the missing package yourself on ipkg or ask me here. (Please let me know if I missed something so that I can update this posting).
To compile and install, you simply run these commands:

Code: Select all

make
make install

Let me know if you have any questions or further problems. I can also assist with setting up lighttpd.

If U could go on with lighttpd i (and probably the rest ) would be pleased....
According to the other posts in this thread (topic) this method won't work with built in download station' rTorrent ?

Cheers

You also need to install:
libcurl-dev
apr-util

and their dependences

[TRiPgod]

xmlrpc compiled fine. Thanks for your notes, agnaramasi and exarm.
I followed the wtorrent/rtorrent guide on the synology wiki.
At first, lighttpd would not initialize completely after start. One thing that needs to be added is when configuring /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Change

Code: Select all

# server.event-handler = "freebsd-kqueue" # needed on OS X

to this

Code: Select all

server.event-handler = "poll"

Another line that needs to be added to /opt/etc/php.ini

Code: Select all

extension=pdo_sqlite.so

Updated the wiki to reflect changes noted in this thread.

anyone?

Xmlrpc is now included into the new firmware 2.3.

[laser21]

Xmlrpc is now included into the new firmware 2.3.

Is this really true?

Can anyone make a guide on installing rtorrent with wtorrent on the new 2.3 firmware??
