Transmission keeps restarting on OMV

Hi there,
a couple of days ago the image of linuxserver/transmission:latest was updated.
My system automatically downloaded and updated but now every 30-60 seconds Transmission (the process, not the container) restarts loosing all the torrent data downloaded.
I checked the container’s logs and when this happens I see this:

tail: invalid PID: ‘’
Connection to localhost (127.0.0.1) 9091 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

I tried to raised to level 3 (debug) logging level in settings.cfg and now I see somw warning messages like

WRN Batwoman.S03E04.Antifreeze.1080p.AMZN.WEBRip.DDP5.1.x264-FLUX[rarbg] at tracker.auctor.tv:6969 Announce error: Connection failed (Retrying in 331 seconds) (udp://tracker.auctor.tv:6969) (announcer.cc:894)

I tried to stop, restart, recreate redownloading image, removed all torrents… if the download list is empty the error is not present, as soon as I add a torrent after a few seconds the process stops and restarts (I see it has a different PID for “/usr/bin/transmission-daemon -g /config -f”).

I did not change any other Transmission settings or router ports, I also checked that my settings.json is a well formed json doc.

I am on OMV 7

uname -a
Linux torxnas 6.1.0-0.deb11.21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1~bpo11+1 (2024-05-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks in advance

Alex

Roll back to the previous tag, there is an upstream bug with transmission.

hi, thank you, i though of that but I have no idea how to find the previous tag, can you point me in the right direction?

managed to do it by myself :smiley:

changed image to linuxserver/transmission:4.0.6-r0-ls248 and it’s working like a charm… so i think that the image for linuxserver/transmission:4.0.6-r0-ls249 actually has a bug.

thanks for your help!
