Web ui should work, just put correct ip address of libreelec with aria2 in settings.

For command line downloads, i guess you should follow the manual of aria2 at, havent tried it though:

aria2c(1) — aria2 1.33.1 documentation

Check first basic option:

Code

-d, --dir=<DIR>

Thank you nolimitz for guiding me on this matter. Appreciate your time.

However after trying all different options, I can't get it to work. Webui simply doesn't connect. No matter what I do, command line commands always downloads to /storage location instead of /storage/Downloads.

I have even tried this docker aria2webui . Nothing works.

Therefore, I tried different option of using pyload by installing it on Asus router. It is working for my needs.

Thanks to Thoradia for these addons.

Welcome.

After you added the line in aria2.conf , did you restart service?

Are you trying to download using web ui?

Can you show a screesnhot of the web ui?

After you added the line in aria2.conf , did you restart service? - Yes I did.

Are you trying to download using web ui? - No. For some reasons I can't get webui to get it to connect aria2c. I am using command line commands to download stuff using Putty. Command I am using to download is aria2c "http address" (see screenshot 2)

Can you show a screesnhot of the web ui? Please see attached screenshots. Screenshot (1) is ls -all command before downloading anything. Screenshot (2) is aria2c "http adress" command which shows download location as "/storage/filename" NOT "/storage/downloads/file name" as mentioned in my arai2.conf dir location. (For your information, my aria2.conf has only one line which is dir=/storage/downloads).

Screenshot (3) shows ls -all command result after downloading the file which shows file has downloads to /storage location and NOT /storage/downloads location.

using ssh, edit default aria2.conf

Code

nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.aria2/aria2.conf

and add the following line:

Code

dir=/storage/downloads

save aria2.conf (Ctrl+X to exit, then Y to save) and restart service:

Code

systemctl restart service.aria2

Thank you nolimitz for detailed steps BUT still I can't figure it out.

After placing dir=/storage/downloads line in aria2.conf, my downloads still go to root directory. What I mean is that after downloading the file if I issue "ls -all" command (at LIBREELEC command prompt in SSH), my downloaded file shows up there and not in /storage/downloads. This has been my problem from beginning. No matter what directory I specify in aria2.conf file, download always go to root directory and not in /storage/downloads.

Could you tell my how to solve this?

Download to /storage/downloads

There is a web-ui for aria2 here

I have managed to make web-ui working BUT still when I tried to download, it goes to /storage location. If I want to change download location to my external hard drive connected to Minix Neo U1, how can I do it?

I tried putting directory path in web-ui setting as /media/Seagate Backup Plus OR /var/media/Seagate Backup Plus, BUT downloads still goes to /storage location.

Am I missing something here?

I am adding aria2 as a service.

The service starts if /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.aria2/aria2.conf exists.

To enable aria2 rpc: create aria2.conf and restart the service, eg

Code

nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.aria2/aria2.conf
systemctl restart service.aria2

To disable aria2 rpc: delete aria2.conf and restart the service, eg

Code

rm /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.aria2/aria2.conf
systemctl restart service.aria2

Thank you for this very useful addons.

I have a problem configuring aria2 on my minix neo U1. I am running Libreelec on micro sd card on U1.

After starting aria2 service, if I start a sample download, it display download progress and shows completed download location which is /storage/filename.

Now I can't see this file in windows 10 by typing \\192.168.1.xxx in windows explorer. I can see all other Libreelec folders and files but not /storage/filename.

Also, if I want to change download location to my external hard drive connected to U1 usb port, how can I do that?

Appreciate any help on this issues.
