[TUTORIAL] Installing Rtorrent on AsusWrt Merlin routers through Entware

[wheelq]

And installed on another RT68u and still same issue

 

[wheelq]

Ok I got everything working fine. Issue was with old config file containing some deprecated variables.
It was running fine for a month till couple days ago
Suddenly it started throwing this error:

rtorrent -D -n -o import=/opt/etc/rtorrent/rtorrent.conf
rtorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libxmlrpc_util.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The only similar file I got is:

find / -type f -name 'libxmlrpc_util*'
/tmp/mnt/sda2/entware/lib/libxmlrpc_util.so.4.52

Modify in /opt/etc/rtorrent/rtorrent.conf
from
use_udp_trackers = yes
to
trackers.use_udp.set = yes
and from
peer_exchange = yes
to
protocol.pex.set = yes
And restart services

services restart

Yes, I can see in my config, those were causing the issue during startup.

And I have created symlink and...so far so good I was just afraid there might be some incompatibility if I link to the newer lib.

thanks!

Don't need the symlink anymore, this will be fixed în next entware update https://github.com/Entware/rtndev/commit/b1432bdb56990edccc173f038256a3efad19d958
Thanks @Al Ryzhov

- yes, I have used those settings couple months ago and it started working fine. But couple days ago it started throwing lib issue, and symlink did help. The URL you've provided is a fix for the rtorrent not starting up due to the wrong/deprecated variables in the config file, which doesn't resolve the lib issue

 

[TeHashX]

I installed all from scratch without symlink and it worked

 

[wheelq]

Hmmm, ok then something else must have changed between the reboots...have you got the libxmlrpc_util.so.3 on your router?
I have checked the rutorrent binary and it seems to have this lib hardcoded...so shouldn't be working without it.

opkg update
opkg upgrade

 

[wheelq]

That't not really the answer to my question
And yes, I've done it, still no trace of that file

Any solution to this error

Hash check on download completion found bad chunks, consider using "safe_sync".

I am on EXT4

 

[Ahmad Haghshenas]

I installed rutorrent on a Asus router and it works fine but if i use the autotools plugin "Path to finished downloads" it move the file in the correct directory but when it does a hash check it say 0% and status is pausing.

This is what it show in the save path from the GUI.
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.2.17Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8/mnt/2TB/rutorrent/Downloads

This part "X-Powered-By: PHP/7.2.17Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" should not be their any ideas?

Anyone else have issues with the latest updates?

rutorrent log at the start: "[08.10.2019 00:20:18] ruTorrent cannot determine the UID of rTorrent user. Some functionality will be unavailable."

Cannot open settings. I get these lines on the log after I click "Settings...":
[10/08/2019 00:20:24] XMLRPC Error: Method 'network.listen.is_open' not defined [getsettings]

Update: fixed it by clean reinstalling everything.

If I remove all plugins ruTorrent works fine but If I install again the issue persist. Also uninstalling ruTorrent with plugins...after reinstall have the same issue
