Raspbian + Flexget + Transmission + NAS

[Sandybanks]

Hi,

I've a peculiar problem with Transmission on Raspbian writing on my NAS.

I've setup Raspbian to automatically mount my NAS share:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo cat /etc/fstab
proc            /proc           proc    defaults          0       0
/dev/mmcblk0p1  /boot           vfat    defaults          0       2
/dev/mmcblk0p2  /               ext4    defaults,noatime  0       1
# a swapfile is not a swap partition, so no using swapon|off from here on, use  dphys-swapfile swap[on|off]  for that
//<NAS IP>/video /mnt/nas cifs credentials=/home/pi/.nas_credentials,sec=ntlm 0 0
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /home/pi/.nas_credentials
username=admin
password=<nas password>

This works as expected and correctly mounts the share:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ls -lha /mnt/nas/
insgesamt 646M
drwxrwxrwx  8 pi   users    0 Jul 28 17:24 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  4,0K Jul 21 20:08 ..
drwxrwxrwx 84 pi   users    0 Jul 30 14:52 FILME
drwxrwxrwx 10 pi   users    0 Jul 30 18:48 incomplete
drwxrwxrwx 34 pi   users    0 Jul 14 20:48 SERIEN

I think I've setup Transmission correctly to use the path /mnt/nas/incomplete as a temporary download location:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json

Flexget (installed on the same Pi) is setup to move downloaded content to the approriate folders:

Code: Select all

  transmit-movies:
    transmission:
      host: 127.0.0.1
      port: 9091
      username: pi
      password: <correct password>
      path: /mnt/nas/FILME
  transmit-series:
    transmission:
      host: 127.0.0.1
      port: 9091
      username: pi
      password: <correct password>
      path: /mnt/nas/SERIEN/{{series_name}}

However, whenever eg. a movie is downloaded only a folder with the movie name is created without any content but strange user settings, see example for the movie Cell 211:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ls -lha /mnt/nas/FILME/

Flexget is simply started by and running as:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ flexget daemon start -d
2014-08-02 17:09 INFO     manager                       Daemonizing...
2014-08-02 17:09 INFO     manager                       Daemonize complete. New PID: 27747

And Transmission is running as a regular service:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ service transmission-daemon status
[ ok ] transmission-daemon is running.

I cannot find something wrong. Can somebody please point me into the direction where to look at?

Thanks!

What I've also noticed is that most (but strangely not all) of newly added tasks for transmission have some kind of permission error and it says something like

Code: Select all

Error: Permission denied (/mnt/nas/SERIEN/Brooklyn ...

Thanks for your help!

Is your NAS formatted to NTFS?

[Sandybanks]

No, I've got 2 disks in RAID1 and the volume is formated with ext3

[carilwang]

I actually followed this site to create one that can run. http://www.robertsetiadi.net/installing ... pberry-pi/

But I think the problem is my NAS. It can write, but very slow and a lot of read errors.

I am using omninas kd20 box with raid 1. I am not sure whether that's the problem. I will try to change it with a hard drive.

My apologies, but we do not permit guides or allow instructions for the setup and use of software designed for the piracy of videos/games/music/software/etc as this is considered illegal in most countries and the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a non-profit charity for the education of children in computing. Nothing personal.
