Pulsar 0.2 error: [Errno 98]

[tonylx]

Hi, i installed plugin.pulsar.zip on raspPI with openelec 4.2.1 and provider but when i select search/ search movie / Popular movie nothing happens . I saw the log and this error appears : NOTICE: [plugin.video.pulsar] error: [Errno 98] Address already in use.

here is the log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=330070

Would appreciate some help . Thanks

It is caused by pulsar trying to take port 9091 for running the deamon but a different application is using that port.

This is the default RPC / Webclient port of transmission for starters. ;)

I have transmission on port 9091 . Tried to change port on Pulsar settings (6889/6890) , still the same , when selecting search movies/ search tv series , etc nothing happens

[rjd22]

You need to change the transmission settings not the pulsar settings. You can't change the port for the pulsar RPC

[rjd22]

Don't forget to restart ;)

ok thanks @rjd22 , will try to change transmission settings and see how it goes :)

[tonylx]

changing transmission port on the addon settings doesnt seem to work , do i need to change somewhere else ?

[rjd22]

You Will need to change it in the transmission daemon settings file. And restart. I think the file is located here: `/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json´

Just try netstat and the XBMC log to see what uses the port and what port is failing.

in openelec is different location , it doesnt have json i think is /userdata/addon_data/service.downloadmanager.transmission/settings.xml

[tonylx]

have seen it , its in /storage/.cache/transmission/settings.json
I change the port and reboot , but it changes back to 9091 :/

first u need to quit transmisson and then change settings, otherwise the settings will be overwrite with the old ones.

thanks @rjd22 and @rosskopf its finally working , but had to change transmission port
