Seagate Dockstar Discussion and Tutorial Thread

Edit:- While updating sources list, i mistyped source URL. Hence it always shows cant find package. Now webmin is up and now added NTFS support by updating ntfs package. I will mount the same through webmin
 
I have tried to mount the rest 2 NTFS parttion on the same 500GB HDD but i am not able to add through webmin. I tried to add disk and network Filesystems. I added this as /media/sdb1 as this is the same HDD but it shows NTFS signature missing. I see 3 NTFS partition on the disk. I am confused as i think these 3 partition are on my Laptop and not external HDD. I do i mount these 2 NTFS partition as i cant find these.

Also is there any support for transmission through webmin, I am not able to find any option to run transmission through webmin
 
^ Yes that is exactly why we need Pyload as well -- to download from http links, like Rapidshare, Hotfile, Megaupload etc.

Did you buy this? I bought a similar one from here. Can set upto 20 On/Off configurations, everyday or weekend or specific day etc. A very good addon for the Dockstar. :P
 
^ That one looks nice, not exactly plug and play though :P

The buttons and interface seems to be exactly same as the one I got. Did you find it online anywhere? Mine has the UK style plug, so have to use an adapter on both sides! :(
 
^^Got it from local shop. I paid 650 or 700. How much did you pay?

No, not plug and play. It has connection tags for connecting the input and output - I connected a PC SMPS power cord (stripped at one end) at the input and a small power strip (stripped at the plug end) at the output.
 
What's the best option to download youtube (flv) on dockstar ?

I use screen + youtube-dl with -a option, where I can save all the link to a .txt file and it will start downloading one by one.

Suggestions appreciated.
