transmission
Hello,

I can't get transmission 2.82-5 working on DS414 with DSM5. Here is my steps to try to make it work :

First scenario

  • Create an user named "transmission" with no password in administrators and users group with read and write rights to all my folders
  • install transmission with different folder for download and watch
  • Error at install, unable to launch it (entry.cgi_SYNO.Core.Package.Control[1].start[12361]: pkgstartstop.cpp:121 Failed to start package transmission)

Second scenario

  • Create an user named "Transmission" with no password in administrators and users group with read and write rights to all my folders
  • Install transmission with different folder for download and watch
  • No error at install
  • User "Transmission" seems to have a password
  • Launch a torrent, after several seconds I got a permission denied on the torrent

Am I missing something?

Thanks

EDIT : I manage to get it working by setting download folder in /volume1/transmission instead of /volume1/Download

Assuming you are using the SynoCommunity package: Your first scenario doesn't work, as the package tries to create the user and fails. You shouldn't create the user yourself.
Your second scenario fails because of #827, it's a known issue. The Transmission package creates and uses the 'transmission' user, which, with DSM5, does not have access to shared folders by default.

@kesm, I'll close this issue for you, as you've been able to solve it :) We'll use #827 to keep track of the general issue.
