Safari Download Station Extension

[davytoney]

Absolutely loving this update. I think it's great how you no longer have to click okay on the on-screen notification anymore. Even without Growl integration, this newcell phone jammer, discrete notification is still 'growl-like'

your suggestions help me a lot,so thanks !!!!!!!!!Also I know I can just click on pause button of each download, but it is so much easier with Pause All and Resume All.

Hi,
First I would like to say thanks to the developer for doing the extension and helping the rest of us with it. Works great.
I have a question though. How would one add a specific torrent page , let say " torrent leech . org " . On a lot of torrent pages there is no double click option for download to disk station, or it just downloads a php file.
I am no programer but is the .js file in the extension the right way to start. A custom .js like pirate bay.

Strange but I'm now experiencing what idheath mentioned weeks ago. When using piratebay and I click on the Download with Diskstation link, i now get 'Failed to add your download task....Please verify your URL'

This only started happening about two days ago. I have not updated my browser before this happened.

MacBook Pro intel core 2 duo
Safari 5.1.2
Extension 1.4

To download via Diskstation I need to right click on the 'GetTorrentfile' link and that works.

Just dont understand why the Download with Diskstation link would stop working all of a sudden

I cannot get this to work with https. As soon as i disable the https connection in control panel-DSM settings-HTTP service the extension works fine.

Turn it off and change the extensions options accordingly - it stops working.

Any clues?

Thanks for your suggestions.

I've worked out what the issue is...

Basically I tried the same userid/password in the DS web GUI as you suggested and the 1st time I opened the Download Manager it prompted me to specify a download folder. Once I selected this the download worked (via the GUI).

Also, after this your plugin is working too (so it was the lack of the setting for the download destination which was causing the issue).

BTW, the above was with HTTP (HTTPS is still not working, although I'm not too bothered about that).

Cheers Ian

Nice to hear you've got it working! To solve the HTTPS problem you could try if you can access DSM using HTTPS. If you get a warning about the certificate you need to add an exception. You can do this by clicking 'Show more' and check the checkbox. This exception should also enable the extension to use the HTTPS url.

I'll see if I can add that in the next version! But I'll wait until the DSM 4.0 beta is released, they might change something to the interface the extension uses and I don't want to put time in new features if they might not work in the next DSM version

At the moment the extension does not work for torrent sites that require you to log in. This causes the download of a php or html file. This is basically because your login session exists on your computer and not on your DiskStation. A solution would be if the extension would download the torrent file and upload it to DownloadStation, but (as far as I know) downloading files is not possible in Safari Extensions..

Thanks for reporting this bug. I think ThePirateBay has made some small changes to their website. They made the Magnet link the first option. I'll fix it, expect an update soon, but I've read that ThePirateBay might remove the torrent-file option completely so the problem can return since the extension doesn't support magnet links..

Hi,
since I installed DSM 4.0-2166 on my DS 211j the download redirector seems to be broken when using https.
When using https it says "could not connect to DiskStation". I tried using the local IP and the DynDNS address.

Using the local IP with normal http seems to work though.
I already tried to delete and add the certificates again -> same issue

My system:
DS211j with DSM 4.0-2166

Mac OS 10.7.2
Safari 5.1.2 -> DownloadStation 1.4.1

Any ideas?

Thanks for reporting. I have the same issue when using HTTPS with the DSM 4.0 beta. They must have changed something. I'll see if I can find a solution and update the extension before the official release of DSM 4. For now you will need to switch to HTTP to use the extension.

Hi, thanks for your work.
How about add possibilities to use premium cookies stored in Safari ??

Thanks

You can setup your premium accounts in the settings of Download Station (in DSM 3.2 and later).

First of all, a mighty thank you for the extension…

Now an offbeat question: I have setup auto-email on DSM4 to email me whenever Download Station completes a file/torrent download.

Is there any way of including a download link in this auto generated email, as it saves me log gin into DSM and then manually generating a share-link?

I think there's an option in the notifications configuration panel in DSM4 where you can change the email text. I don't know if you can add a placeholder for the download link. You could contact Synology about it. If you contact them, please post their answer here so others can use it as well

I cannot get the extension to work in either Safari or Chrome for torrents or YouTube videos. The download task is accepted, but then if I check in Download Station the file name is "nzb-details.php" of unknown file size. Nothing is downloaded, although it shows "completed" after a few seconds. I am sure the configuration in Safari/Chrome extensions are correct. Maybe this is something to do with my settings in DiskStation?

The torrents might not work if the website requires you to log in. Could you try a public torrent website?
For the problem with YouTube videos: What version of DSM are you using? YouTube downloading works for DSM 3.2 and DSM 4.0. If you have a version that supports it, please check in your Download Station settings if YouTube is enabled and up-to-date:


I'm currently working on the next update. It will fix the button on The Piratebay (they changed their domain to thepiratebay.se). It will also add support for DSM 4.0 with HTTPS and magnet links.

There are a few things I have to fix before I can release the update, but things are looking good and I hope to release it within one or two weeks

[leosia]

Thanks for your reply. You were right, it was a site (NZBMatrix) which requires a username/password. I tried another and it was fine. I also checked the settings in your screenshot and YouTube works fine now

Download Station for Safari 1.5 beta with DSM4 support
During the last weeks I have rewritten a huge part of the extension to add full support for the upcoming DSM4 update. With the help of Sylver (from the great iPhone and iPad apps) the extension has been changed to use the web interface in stead of the Download Redirector interface. Because I only have one DiskStation which runs on DSM4, I am unable to test the extension on earlier versions. That's why I decided to release a beta version. Please download the beta version and let me know if everything works for you!

Click here to download <-- I temporarily removed the link since there's a bug I need to fix first! Check back later for a new beta version!
Changes in this version:

• HTTPS support for DSM4 beta
• Fixed download button on The Piratebay
• Magnet link support
• Bug fixes

If you have any problems with this new version, post it here and don't forget to mention your DSM version!
You can always go back to the previous version. The download link for the last stable release is in the opening post!
