BT search add-ons not working

[benwrigley]

Hi All,

I'm sure I can't be alone with this. As of last week only the mininova and extratorrent add-ons return any results for me.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Thanks

log into your qnap via ssh

go to /share/[whatever your volume is]/.qpkg/DSv3/usr/sbin/ds-addon/

Do to each of the directories that are a pain:

/1337.to
/bttt99.com
/demonoid.pw
/kickass.to
/mininova.org
/seriecanal.com
/thepiratebay.se
/torcache.net
/torrentreactor.net
/yun.baidu.com

in each of these folders run the command:
vi 1337x.to.php
or whatever the name of the site is with a .php on the end.

hit the insert button

First find the second line that says
const SITE = "http://1337x.to";
and comment that line out - its useless.
// const SITE = "http://1337x.to";

obviously the '1337x.to' will have to be changed whatever site/directory you're working in. You'll notice the extratorrent file doesn't have that line.

Now here's the real magic.

Next you'll see a few lines that look like this:

/*
*kickass() -note: that's right the 1337x file ACTUALLY SAYS KICKASS. SMH...
* @param {string} $url
...etc...
*/

it's missing a line: just before the last line you need a $meta line. So the last two lines in that group, not the last two lines in the file, should look like:

* @param {string} $meta
*/

THEN....

The next line should look like this:

public function __construct($url = null, $username = null, $password = null)

It SHOULD look like this:

public function __construct($url = null, $username = null, $password = null, $meta = null)

now hit the escape button and type :wq and hit enter. vi will save your file and if you go into Download Station it should work.

There might be some other differences on the onther lines - besides the ones I mentioned above -- DO NOT LET THEM FOOL OR DISTRACT YOU.
If you make those changes it shoudl be working no problem. Works for me and I took notes every step of the way. I did nothing else.

I got tired of waiting for qnap or whomever to fix it. I program for a living, so if you'd like to paypal me a beer (2-3$ ) I won't turn it down joseph.brodnax@gmail.com. If not, then cheers.

I loves me my qnap, but that problem was a pain.

Ok,
There might've been a little more to it with a couple of the files as someone kindly pointed out. Please just copy these working files to the designated addon folders:

DSv3/usr/sbin/addons/[name of site]/[name of site].php

and the download station will work.

Still accepting a pint of Guinness from the grateful
