Tutorial pyLoad Download Manager through Optware

[TeHashX]

Okay, I was able now to start it again, but can't it start automatically (start/stop script doesn't work?)?

To start automatically after every router reboot, create post-mount script

nano /jffs/scripts/post-mount

paste this lines

#!/bin/sh
sleep 5
/opt/etc/init.d/S95Pyload start

Save with CTRL-O / Enter / and exit nano with CTRL-X

chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/post-mount

If you unplugged the connected usb-drive without stoping the service first, probably some files are corrupted, it's better to reinstall from scratch or even better is to format the usb drive.

 

[fir3drag0n]

Thank you! To stop the service, what I have to do?

Is this the right command:

/opt/etc/init.d/S95Pyload stop

?

Is it possible to do this automatically?

 

[TeHashX]

The command is correct, when automatically? when router reboots?

I'd just like to say thanks to TeHarshX for his post and help getting pyload working

Can somebody please advise me what I need to do to create a post mount script so I can add the command above to start pyload when my router starts up

Thanks

It's exactly like posted at the end of tutorial on first page but you need to install nano editor first

ipkg install nano

@TeHashX

Thank you for your awesome work here. I am a total noob when it comes to this stuff so forgive me if this is a stupid question.

Can I use pyload to automatically unrar files that I download through entware transmission? And how/what do I modify to install this since I am using entware.

btw - the only reason I'm running entware over optware is because rMerlin says it has better performance in his transmission tutorial. Thanks again!!!

 

[TeHashX]

I tried torrentexpander to automatically unrar files but without luck.
I'm using entware too because optware is not "very" updated.

is it possible to set the download folder to a another connected hdd that is formated in NTFS or do i have no choice but to use EXT2/3

and also is it possble to set the download folder to a NAS drive on the same network

Thanks

ntfs drives are not recommended under linux but you can always try...

yes is possible, read this post carefoully to the end

Id just like to share with others who mayb starting out trying to follow this guide like i did make sure you have merlins FW and jffs enabled and i found i had to remove download master after i installed it to work , also here is a easy command that TehashX sent me to remove everything to start from begin
(rm -rf /mnt/ASUS/asusware) this saved time as i was formating my USB stick each time i restarted from begining and i found after doing doing everything after this it worked!!

 

[TeHashX]

(rm -rf /mnt/ASUS/asusware)

your usb device has ASUS label, if device don't have a label, use
rm -rf /mnt/sda1/asusware

I tried torrentexpander to automatically unrar files but without luck.

Where was a bug? I think it's not to hard to get this working, but I know for sure unpacking archives will be painfully slow.

 

[TeHashX]

I didn't tried very hard to make it work but I get some errors in terminal like torrentexpander.sh not found even if path was ok.
You are 1000 times more experienced than me with linux stuff, please have a look at torrent expander.

Yes, if you could please provide a way to get automatic unrar of transmission downloads I would love you forever!!! Also, I don't care how slow the unpacking is as long as it just does its jobs without me having to worry about it. Thanks man...fyi - I'm using entware...

So you know, my setup for transmission works this way just fine. I have asusware installed on a 16gb ext3 partition of a usb hdd and I have my download directory set for another NTFS partition of the same drive. Works like a charm. I did this because I was having trouble getting my WDTV Live to play files from the ext3 partition. Not sure if it was something I was doing wrong, but at any rate NTFS works, just change the appropriate directories when setting up transmission. Not positive it works the same way with pyload, but I don't see why not.

I've edited torrentexpander.sh and it works. But unrar is not! With files larger then 1MB it gives "Out of memory" error message. Looks like it's not fit for embedded devices. I even compiled unrar-free, but it can't extract new types of RAR archive.

The bottomline: while there is no efficient open source RAR alternative, there is nothing we can do.
