dsm 3.1 busted transmission

[XBMC_2]

I upgraded the DSM f/w to 3.1 and was disappointed in that decision. I tried the native download station [also Transmission], and thought I'd be able to use Transmission RemoteGUI along with it, after a configuration of course. Not only did the Remote GUI give me errors when I tried to use it, but I noticed that the package completely stopped, and wouldn't run again. I would get a "Failed to run" message. I disabled the native download station as well temporarily. I uninstalled the Transmission package [2.13 spk] completely, even re-boot the Syno, installed the package again [but didn't run], overwrote my settings for transmission-adduser with the -f switch in Putty, verified the Homes was enabled in Privileges and ran the service again. Still got the "Failed to run" message. Looking around in the Syno forums, it seems that I'm the only one having this problem, everyone has reported that there was no "damage" done to their older Transmission packages with the new DSM 3.1 upgrade.................I beg to differ. I would like to see some type of solution to my problem as I enjoyed the use of the Remote GUI for one instead of having to login to one more device just to administrate torrents. I'm hoping that I'm not the only one with this problem. I've also "lost" about a dozen 1/2 downloaded torrents that I'm unable to use now. Just my 2 cents......

I have exactly same situation that you saying. I wasted my time almost 6 hours.
I tried reinstall the trasmission package [2.13 spk] several times and try to running the files on transmission.sh step by step.
I don't know what can i do...

hi, which transmission SPK you are using? Sarav's or Zebulon's?

Sarav's 2.13 spk

The funny thing is, I re-booted the Syno again, and the Remote GUI started to work again, so I stopped the new download station completely and let my older torrents finish seeding/leeching. It worked for awhile, until the Remote disconnected a few times and wouldn't reconnect, even from the Syno WebGUI, it just wouldn't load.......The resource monitor tells me there's transmisson activity [the native one is disabled], and there are 2 instances of transmission in memory resources, boosting up my memory another 10%, so somethings really screwed up. Now I have no control of transmission at all, cannot connect and will really have to use and log into the native app. For awhile, it seemed that my new install of transmission worked.


Edit:: I am using Zebulon's spk now once you mentioned it, and it seems to be holding up just fine. Thanks!

I am in the same boat with DS411+ , gutted
For some reason the syno download station cause my network latency to jump sky high and sometimes time out, so cannot really download and play online games at same time. Really need to find a way to get transmission to work

Ok I was just replying to your other post and you replied before I submitted it.........by re-boot, you only have to stop the transmission package from package management in the Syno Web GUI and then re-start the service for the changes to take effect, not re-boot the Syno itself....I hope that's what you meant.


Also here's a site for transmission settings.json file https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Co ... Parameters

Thanx XBMC_2, that was it!

Another question. Transmission GUI from synology DSM works fine localy, but not from internet. Should it work?
Or is the problem in closed 9091 port on my router?

I was hoping to keep the port closed and access it through DSM from outside... and from windows GUI over 9091 localy...

Hey guys, i just upgraded to DSM 3.1 and i had to upgrade to Transmission 2.22, at first transmission would not run, now after a reboot i can start transmission and everything seamd fine, BUT! when a torrent reaches 0.2% ish i get an error, "Error: Permission denied (/volume1/etc...)" if i remove the torrent and add it again it does the same thing and after a while transmission closes down and has to be started from within the DSM again. Both me and my friend are having this problem.

You'll need to forward the port. Any reason you need it closed?

How did you upgrade transmission to 2.22? As far as I can see, there are only two packages are 2.13 by Sarav and 1.92 by zebulon501. Am I missing something?
