[ qBittorrent + CLI ] An open-source software alternative to µTorrent

[jestermgee]

Still no luck after several days of trying to get this working again, really wish I just went for a Synology nas as finding any discussions for this thing is limiting

Sometimes is not related to have a TM NAS or any other brand NAS.
Is about the running app capabilities and the configuration done.

Regarding Jacket plugin, have you correctly configured this plugin with the server and api ? The Jackett app is running ?
https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-p ... ett-plugin

You can also try to figure it out yourself or ask some help when you are blocked, wait for someone to step in and provide you some advice.
Keep in mind that the search plugins are not part of qBittorrent and can stop working at any moment.

For the existing plugins installed as default, a search for debian return:

I admire your patience.

Only up to a certain point

@outkastm
Thank you for the quick reaction ! Just a question though. Due to the update I have lost all my list of active torrents that I have downloaded and was seeding. Should it be like this? Can it be retrived somehow ?

Here the results of search on Debian using jackett plugin when is configured correctly

What is your TOS version ? And you have 5.2.2.1 installed ?

My NAS is F2-425 plus with TOS 7.0.0747
And yes, I have qbittorrent 5.2.2.1. Previously have installed 5.2.2.0 which did not work until 5.2.2.1.

[outkastm]

If i understand correctly, then you were running before the official app installed from the app center ?

I have been through that page but there is a lot of general info and unsure what to do with most of it. the few terminal commands I attempted did not work, I am not a Linux user so know only the basics which is admittedly part of my problem but getting help from experienced Linux users seems a comical task as there is an assumption people should be born knowing CLI by default...

I have jackett listed in my plugins folder within the nova3/data path with the other plugins along with the json file which I can open, I ahve added the IP of my server into the file but I cannot access the serverip:9117 for jackett service as I assume it is 'not running' and this is where I am stuck on this, I am unsure how to get it started...

You can also try to figure it out yourself or ask some help when you are blocked, wait for someone to step in and provide you some advice.

That is what I was trying to achieve, asking for help and posting info and logs on what I see. I don't believe I have posted anything to test anyone's patience so unsure what the statement in that regards was all about but it's expected from these kinds of communities I guess where I should be at a stage where I don't need help... The main issue I see in the logs (if someone can confirm) is that Python is throwing large amounts of errors on qbt startup so I am unsure why this is occuring.

Sometimes is not related to have a TM NAS or any other brand NAS.

It's not about things affecting one system more than another, it's about support. Not only is more higher tiered support paywalled for this system but there is simply no discussion groups for it like there are Synology and simple things like this with typical users posting eyeroll comments adds to the negativity. Not everyone is an expert with this kind of stuff and guides, info and knowledgeable (and helpful) people are hard to come by for this system compared to the amount of useful and helpful people I see for Synology, maybe this is why Terramaster is less of a consideration.

I do not recall setting up "jackett" originally, I am certain I simply installed Python and added the plugins and that was it. Many other similar posts just for QBT show just doing these simple steps which I have done but every search term I try shows no results. As far as I understand Jackett is not required but ultimately assists in better searching over multiple plugins? Should I not get some kind of result even if it is disabled?

Do any of the posted errors show any clue? What about the question about python versions?

A search shows no result:



The plugins listed:



I am also aware in the screenshot the Jackett plugin is disabled as I was testing to see if I had better luck with it not active as I never recall having it setup in the past, I had to manually add that as an option which I never did before.
