Question about /output and downloads

Post by Abathorn »

Hi, i am installing the jdownloader 2 in my asustor. When I am trying to configure the download folder I found difficult to set up a folder in a different Volume.

I have a Volume set up as a Shared folder and I would like to select a folder from that.

For example when i look for that volume the location in properties said is located in /volume2. And i try:

/volume2/volumen 2 (3TB)/downloads

But jdownloader said this folder didnt exist. If i want to create it. If i said yes but then fail.

It is that possible to setup a folder for another volumen? Am i missing something?

Regards

Hi,

Perhaps a problem with the access right to the folder ?
did you use "quote", your path seem to have space in the string ?
... quote when manipulating using terminal or in the my.jdownloader site (settings)
... remember, you MUST create the folder before you configure it in my.jdownloader site

A good approach is :
create a specific share on volume2 for your downloads : ex. MyDownload
be sure that users root / admin and administrators group have rw access to it
use /share/MyDownload as download folder ... not need to use /volume2/.....

In lot of case using space in name can generate problem if for ex. the script don't quote text by itself ... so prefer using without space and for space use _ (underscore) character.

Thank you for your Answer Phillipe.

Following your steps with a different folder without spaces i found this.

The jdownloader are adding "/config" to the path at the beggining. I not user but i think I am doing something wrong with that. Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi,

??? no idea ...
I will restart a fresh install ... to run a test after creating a second volume ....

BUT the download folder definition is not in the APKG but in my.jdownloader web site ... and I don't have any access and knowledge on it ...

Please have a look to
/usr/local/jdownloader/jd/cfg folder specially : org.jdownloader.settings.GeneralSettings.json file where you can find the default download folder ... perhaps broken

ex. on mine (as an example)

Code: Select all

 "defaultdownloadfolder" : "/volume1/test/Download",

Hi,

I reinstall the app an in the file the "defaultdownloadfolder":null is set as null.

But when I enter the app the download is setup as /config/Donwloads. Which is set up in my file explorer as Docker/JDownloader2/Config/Downloads

If i try to donwload something go that folder. Which is set in a small SSD. Thats the reason to change it.

I edit the file org.jdownloader.settings.GeneralSettings.json manual and set the "/volume2/myDownloads"

But it didnt works. When I add a donwload it goes again to "/config/Donwloads"

(Btw i installed jdonwload2 vresion 1.7.2.r01 from the app central)

Any idea?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Sorry I don't understand you use the APKG or The docker image ?

because with the APKG (the only package where I can try to help) ... /config or any folder name config is not provide, non existent and never used

Seems that in my.jdownloder ... the previous docker version is still configured, (same host name, same user, etc.) so as I know the solution is to rremove in my.jdownloader the existing config and to redo it ...

I installed the version in the app central. Do I have an alternative? Which version should i install the 1.7.2.r01 in app central? or other one?

With removing the existing config do you mean the file "org.jdownloader.settings.GeneralSettings.json"? And then restart the app?

Thanks

How do you install your version "2.0-1.6"? Is not in the AppCentral?

Hi,

Another version have overwritten / replaced mine ... with certainly a better support ... so I presume a conflict between two version for the same software ...

F.Y.I. my version was available in AppCenter from the 26 of August 2021 ... if I refer to the official Asustor Developer Corner
BUT if it's not listed now ...

My suggestion is to ask to the dev. and / or Asustor to get full help and don't mix divers providers for a same software.
