Tutorial pyLoad Download Manager through Optware

[TeHashX]

New site with updated guide



I used this two guides 1 & 2 (credits to ULI and Shibby, thanks guys) and with some modification we can run pyLoad Download Manager on AsusWrt: RT-AC66U/R, RT-N66U/R, RT-N16, RT-AC68U, RT-AC56U...

We need a usb-flash formatted EXT2 or a usb-hdd formated EXT3, may not work on FAT32 or NTFS.

To start the optware environment:
Go to http://192.168.1.1/APP_Installation.asp and install Download Master (uninstall or disable after, if you are not using it)
Login to router with putty terminal and copy/paste the following commands

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade
ipkg install python py25-crypto py25-curl libcurl py25-openssl py25-django
ipkg install tesseract-ocr unzip sqlite wget-ssl py25-pil unrar ossp-js nano wget-ssl
cd /opt/

Download the latest version (v0.4.9 at this moment), just change version number if is updated.

wget http://get.pyload.org/get/src/pyload-src-v0.4.9.zip
unzip pyload-src-v0.4.9.zip && rm pyload-src-v0.4.9.zip
cd /opt/pyload

Generate ssl keys, you have to input data required... or just press ENTER and fields will remains blanks

/opt/bin/openssl genrsa -out ssl.key 1024
/opt/bin/openssl req -new -key ssl.key -out ssl.csr
/opt/bin/openssl req -days 36500 -x509 -key ssl.key -in ssl.csr > ssl.crt

Change the default configuration-directory

python pyLoadCore.py --changedir --configdir=/opt/pyload/.pyload

Press Enter once to confirm the path and once again to exit the dialog.

Go to installation-process, just hit ENTER key, change username, password and port or leave it 8000

python pyLoadCore.py -s

pyLoad offers several server backends, now following a short explanation.
builtin: Default server, best choice if you dont know which one to choose.
threaded: This server offers SSL and is a good alternative to builtin.
fastcgi: Can be used by apache, lighttpd, requires you to configure them, which is not too easy job.
lightweight: Very fast alternative written in C, requires libev and linux knowlegde.
Get it from here: https://github.com/jonashaag/bjoern, compile it
and copy bjoern.so to module/lib

Attention: In some rare cases the builtin server is not working, if you notice problems with the webinterface
come back here and change the builtin server to the threaded one here.
Server ([builtin], threaded, fastcgi, lightweight): threaded / Enter
Setup finished successfully.
Hit enter to exit and restart pyLoad Enter

Download start/stop script

/opt/bin/wget http://tinyurl.com/S95Pyload --no-check-certificate -O /opt/etc/init.d/S95Pyload
chmod 777 /opt/etc/init.d/S95Pyload

Start the server with

/opt/etc/init.d/S95Pyload start

Go to 192.168.1.1:8000 and happy downloading...

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
reboot

TO ACCESS PYLOAD FROM WAN

nano /jffs/scripts/firewall-start

paste this lines

#!/bin/sh
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 8000 -j ACCEPT

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

chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/firewall-start
reboot

After reboot you should have access from wan:8000.

hello from Germany,
I have install pyLoad as shown in the instructions and I can open the WebInterface from the PyLoad but the "start" to download button doesn't work.
someone has an idea?

 

[TeHashX]

Did you setup an account? is valid? from witch site is the download?

 

[asai]

I have accounts for realdebrid.com and premium4.me,
and I want download from letitbit.
pyLoad working on my PC very well with this accounts.

When I press start button, the Download status icon stays red.

 

[TeHashX]

Your usb hdd has a label? did you input the right path? like /mnt/sda1/downloads
Some sites requiring captcha, this will appear in top right corner of pyload interface.
I don't have a real-debrid or premium4.me account to test.

 

[asai]

Today is the Download Icon green.
but nothing happens.
USB Flash Disk have a Label und Donwload Path is /mnt/sda1/downloads
no Cuptcha requirements

 

[TeHashX]

You have to rerun setup

python pyLoadCore.py -s

and replace sda1 with your device label, for example:

/mnt/[COLOR="Red"]LABEL[/COLOR]/downloads

be careful, linux is case sensitive

 

[asai]

python pyLoadCore.py -s

This command starts new Configuration of pyLoad

 

[TeHashX]

Yes, change the path

On my pyload Start Page is message about a new Updates and I must restart pyLoad.
Do I have to restart every time pyLoad after the updates are downloaded

 

[TeHashX]

Only if you want to apply updates

Which steps do I have to repeat if I unplugged the connected usb-drive containing pyload in the meanwhile?
How do I start pyload again or do I have to do the whole installation procedure again?

 

[fir3drag0n]

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