That's fine but I have an arm cpu on my RT-AC68U so I read point 4a, how to upgrade to 2.84?

Can be done from chrooted debian.

Someone interested in transmission v2.84 from debian wheezy? It's for arm devices: RT-AC56U, RT-AC68U, RT-AC87U...

Great job!

I have just an issue using the Transmission Remote GUI, I can't find the right path for the download dir and incomplete dir, I try change the path in the settings "Default download folder on remote host" but seems it can't find the right mapping, i have an external SSD drive attached on the USB port named "SSD" all is fine except for transmission, before with optware was normally working on my download path "/tmp/mnt/SSD" but with debian it's no longer available. I guess something is changed with the mount point, but I don't know how to fix it, i'm dummie on linux.

Done, follow from "Download startup script for installed services..."

First "exit" debian, then "/opt/etc/init.d/S99debian stop" then "nano /opt/etc/init.d/S99debian" you have to put the path "EXT_DIR=/tmp/mnt/SSD/", save&exit nano, "/opt/etc/init.d/S99debian start", enter debian and you will find the "SSD" content in "/mnt".

Thanks, I did it already, the settings i need is for "Transmission remote GUI" so I had to put "/mnt" instead of "/tmp/mnt/SSD" in the "Default download folder on remote host" option.
Now it works, but why i can't put the full path if "EXT_DIR=/tmp/mnt/SSD/" is set?

/tmp/mnt/SSD/ is mount point for optware
/mnt/ is mount point for debian
debian is running under optware
so when you run an aplication under debian, /tmp/mnt/SSD/(or whatever path you set to EXT_DIR) is becoming /mnt/

You are running Transmission 2.84 under debian.

Thanks for the explanation, practically debian runs in a virtual environment? I'm increasingly fascinated by the ability of this router, this means we can have always an updated version of transmission or run other BT client, i just wonder if there are any security issue, for the rest is great.

Sure, compiling transmission is very easy, maybe some day I will make a tutorial about.

Use only point 4b from https://www.asuswrt.eu/transmission-on-asuswrt-routers-through-optware/

is there a way to set auto-download in transmission? possibly from RSS feeds? Just wanna know before I take a huge plunge into Optware. My trackers do not support coachpotato/torrentpotato. I'm not a fan of checking trackers every time a show comes on (nor am I home for it)....and when I do get on it it's all seeded out and I take a hit on my ratio. I just wanna sit down on the couch and have the shows all ready for me. Movies I dont mind downloading manually.

Should be possible from chrooted debian transmission and FlexGet

 

[twitchyzero]

transmission via optware does not support something like flexget? Is there a guide to install via chrooted debian? Sorry all this dev talk is confusing to me.

as I know, try to type below?
app_set_enabled.sh transmission yes
