Torznab doesn't work (Jackett or Cardigann)

Hi guys!

I’ve managed to install Sonarr + Radarr using the guides and it all works well, except…

The Torznab services don’t seem to work. I’ve tried both Jacket and Cardigann but I get the following error every time:

* cardigann.service - Cardigann Daemon

Hi,

Have you tried starting Jacket or Cardigann manually, they probably have a verbose mode which would you give more information as to why they are not not starting.

Also that doesn’t appear to be the full out of systemctl status?

Have you checked the output of

journalctl -xe

Thanks Tom.

That was fast! This is the output:

I have used this guide by the way: https://www.htpcguides.com/install-cardigann-torznab-indexer-on-ubuntu-16-04/

Hi,

Please provide the output of:

ls -lah /opt/cardigann

&

cat /etc/systemd/system/cardigann.service

Thanks Tom.

First is:

root@osmc:~# ls -lah /opt/cardigann
total 11M
drwxr-xr-x 2 osmc osmc 4.0K Dec 14 22:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4.0K Dec 14 22:49 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  11M Jun 30 10:55 cardigann

Second is:

Hi,

Try the following:

sudo chown -R osmc:osmc /opt/cardigann

/etc/systemd/system/cardigann.service:

[Unit]
Description=Cardigann Daemon
[Service]
User=osmc
Group=osmc
Type=simple
GuessMainPID=no
ExecStart=/opt/cardigann/cardigann server --bind="0.0.0.0" --port="5060" --passphrase="htpcguides"
Restart=always
RestartSec=120

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Also as the guide suggests you should change --passphrase=“htpcguides”, to a password of your choice.

Thanks Tom.

Thanks Tom, that really helped, it works now.

There is a new problem with big file handling in Transmission however. I have mounted an external SSD which I’ve also set as the download location for transmission. It can handle smaller movie files, however when I try to download a 4K HDR torrent of around 50 GB, transmission freezes shortly after starting the download. I have tried various different files.

When I go to system info in OSMC the cpu and memory usage are normal.

Hi,

Is the ssd self powered?
What is the format of SSD, exfat, ntfs or ext4?

If the SSD needs to be connected to a Windows PC, exfat would be better than ntfs. If not ext4 would be the way to go.

In fact ext4 is the best way to go, as both exfat & ntfs have overheads which can cause this issue. If it was me I would format as ext4 and then if you need to share with a windows pc, leave attached to the vero4k and share it with the PC using the samba server in the osmc store.

Thanks Tom.

Thanks Tom.

It’s not self powered, it’s this one: My Passport SSD | Western Digital

The format is NTFS. I’ll change it to ext4 and see how that goes.

Hi,

Ext4 should help, if not a a powered usb-hub is my next suggestion; I can recommend the one in the osmc store.

Thanks Tom.

Allright, working on it.

I’ve also ordered the hub anyhow, as I was already running out of USB ports :wink:
