Ok I got everything working fine. Issue was with old config file containing some deprecated variables.
It was running fine for a month till couple days ago ;)
Suddenly it started throwing this error:

Code:
rtorrent -D -n -o import=/opt/etc/rtorrent/rtorrent.conf
rtorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libxmlrpc_util.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The only similar file I got is:

Code:
find / -type f -name 'libxmlrpc_util*'
/tmp/mnt/sda2/entware/lib/libxmlrpc_util.so.4.52
 
Modify in /opt/etc/rtorrent/rtorrent.conf
from
use_udp_trackers = yes
to
trackers.use_udp.set = yes
and from
peer_exchange = yes
to
protocol.pex.set = yes
And restart services
Code:
services restart

Yes, I can see in my config, those were causing the issue during startup.

And I have created symlink and...so far so good ;) I was just afraid there might be some incompatibility if I link to the newer lib.

thanks!
 
Don't need the symlink anymore, this will be fixed în next entware update https://github.com/Entware/rtndev/commit/b1432bdb56990edccc173f038256a3efad19d958
Thanks @Al Ryzhov
- yes, I have used those settings couple months ago and it started working fine. But couple days ago it started throwing lib issue, and symlink did help. The URL you've provided is a fix for the rtorrent not starting up due to the wrong/deprecated variables in the config file, which doesn't resolve the lib issue
 
Hmmm, ok then something else must have changed between the reboots...have you got the libxmlrpc_util.so.3 on your router?
I have checked the rutorrent binary and it seems to have this lib hardcoded...so shouldn't be working without it.
 
That't not really the answer to my question ;)
And yes, I've done it, still no trace of that file
 

I am on EXT4

I installed rutorrent on a Asus router and it works fine but if i use the autotools plugin "Path to finished downloads" it move the file in the correct directory but when it does a hash check it say 0% and status is pausing.

This is what it show in the save path from the GUI.
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.2.17Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8/mnt/2TB/rutorrent/Downloads

This part "X-Powered-By: PHP/7.2.17Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" should not be their any ideas?

 
Anyone else have issues with the latest updates?

rutorrent log at the start: "[08.10.2019 00:20:18] ruTorrent cannot determine the UID of rTorrent user. Some functionality will be unavailable."

Cannot open settings. I get these lines on the log after I click "Settings...":
[10/08/2019 00:20:24] XMLRPC Error: Method 'network.listen.is_open' not defined [getsettings]
[10/08/2019 00:20:24] XMLRPC Error: Method 'network.port.randomize' not defined [getsettings]
[10/08/2019 00:20:24] XMLRPC Error: Method 'network.port.range' not defined [getsettings]

My rtorrent.conf:
throttle.max_uploads.set = 8
session.path.set = /xxx/session
schedule2 = watch_directory, 5, 5, load.start=/xxx/watchdir/*.torrent
schedule2 = untied_directory, 5, 5, stop_untied=
schedule2 = low_diskspace, 5, 60, ((close_low_diskspace, 100M))
network.bind_address.set = 0.0.0.0
network.port_range.set = 51411-51411
pieces.hash.on_completion.set = yes
trackers.use_udp.set = yes
protocol.encryption.set = allow_incoming,enable_retry,prefer_plaintext
dht.mode.set = auto
dht.port.set = 51412
protocol.pex.set = yes
network.scgi.open_local = /opt/var/rpc.socket
encoding.add = UTF-8
throttle.max_uploads.global.set = 32
max_downloads_global = 64
throttle.max_downloads.global.set = 0
throttle.global_up.max_rate.set_kb = 200
directory.default.set = /xxx/torrents

Update: fixed it by clean reinstalling everything.
