I have not yet try out this script for OS 5.
Official website states that it is coming later on to official apps.
Maybe at next firmware update. Same kind of message has been on WD's Community forum.
It was darn easy torrenting using this app. Wouldn't have updated to os5 if i knew wd info is crap
this is nice bullshit, OS5 give nothing special and now on my WDEX2Ultra i lost all repos eg MC, transmission, all packages from https://wdcommunity.com/ doesn't work also :( any help with install this stuff on OS 5? please help ! sad WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra user ...
I saw the update, I waited a few weeks so that it becomes stable, then... I did the upgrade. I should have done a research before. I just naively believe what they say that data and app would be reserved.
Lost 200 torrents. However, I saw a backup in /mnt/HD/HD_a2/.systemfile/OS3_Apps_Backup/Nas_Prog/Transmission FYI.
Edit: But still the new version is not suitable for my: it tightly coupled with the WD web UI, no remote possible. Edit settings.json to fix that (RPC by default listen on 127.0.0.1).

Could you be more specific ? I have the same issue. What did you modify in settings.json ?
Ssh to your device, use winscp its easier. Edit settings.json, set bindrcp ip to 0.0.0.0
To retain the changes turnoff transmission before edit and then re-enable it. This way the changes to settings will persist across reboots
Thanks for the quick answer. I edited settings.json but it seems that I still need to connect via WD web UI first to have access to transmission interface. I cannot connect directly to it anymore.

There are a few things to change.
- Change
rpc-bind-addressto "0.0.0.0" so that it no longer listen only to 127.0.0.1 and we don't need the reverse proxy of the NAS - Change
rpc-portto 9091 (I don't know why WD used 9092, I change back to 9091 which is the default one) - You can also change
rpc-urlback to /transmission/ which is the default value - Change
rpc-whitelistto "192.168.1.*" to allow all host in that network to access to the web UI
I didn't make a backup before my modification (my bad!). I don't remember correctly all of them. But I think they are (please add a comment to confirm).
Wouhou thanks a lot it works !!!!
On OS 5 you can install Transmission manually.
Transmission 1.15 tested and working. Download from
https://fox-exe.ru/WDMyCloud/WDMyCloud-Gen2/Apps-OS5/
Can we confirm this script works properly on a 1st Gen MyCloud (firmware v04.05.00-342)?
Have read reports of bricking and Im wary of trying it.
what version of transmission will this install?
@tapio80, Any luck with getting Transmission for OS5? The official website states that its supported for this latest release but its unavailable on the official apps page
