You can take a look at my thread here [Raspberry Pi] Automated Installation/update And Management Script Works like a charm ;-) And here is the direct link to the Github page https://github.com/moritzdietz/pi-syncscript

What version of BitTorrent Sync did you have installed on your computers?

As of right now there is no way to run it as a service. Please add your voice to the feature request thread here http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/29659-workaround-btsync-as-a-windows-service/

Wait.. you have 5W total power consumption?

Idk but as long as you have a command line available for SSH into that Android TV you can set it up and reach it via webgui.

You don't have to resync everything. Take a look at this help article http://help.getsync.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1904747-what-happens-when-my-sync-pro-trial-or-license-expires-?b_id=3895

Why would the NAS vendors care?

Usually Sync get's either notified through the system that a file has been added to a share and then instantly sync it to it's peers. Are you experiencing lag there?

Do you see your laptop in the peer list for that share in the webgui on your server? Are they running both on the same version? Are you updated to 2.2 yet?

Mhh I think you can restart BitTorrent Sync and then it does a rescan?! Not sure tho.. but try that!

Alright, I looked at it and I fixed the regex used to replace the default user pi with the one a user wants to set. The, now fixed, issue has been documented here. You should not have to alter anything manual anymore. I checked the regex myself to verify it is working on all affected code pieces. If you may report back your findings, that would be perfect. Also I would like to thank you for your feedback and detailed explanation of that issue - always helps! So to have your issue fixed just get the updated btsync.sh script and you should be good! curl -# -o btsync.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moritzdietz/pi-syncscript/master/btsync.sh

Thanks for reporting! I am working on a fix right now. That totally slipped through.. :/

19feet: Sorry, no it does not work on Ubuntu or any other platform other than ARM. Also the script was made and designed to run on the Raspberry Pi only.

I am having that too all of a sudden...

A lot of people on this forum have a Raspberry Pi using BitTorrent Sync. Over the last couple weeks, since the original blog post of Sync + WD + Raspberry Pi, I have been working on a script for everybody to use to install, update, backup and remove BitTorrent Sync on their Raspberry Pi easily without worrying how to actually do that. And now I am ready to let you guys know about it. It does exactly what you would think it does: Install, update, backup and remove an installation of BitTorrent Sync using that script. Not more, not less. You can check it out on my GitHub page here: Raspberry Pi + Sync Script All the instructions and what to do is described there. Hope this will help people that are just starting to use BitTorrent Sync on their Raspberry Pi's.

Do you have a share that is some sort of log file folder? I have that and even if I have sync paused for that share the icon keeps spinning.. so idk what to think about that

What you would have to do is on the machine where you download the files add the temporary file extension that is being used by your download application to the .SyncIgnore file. There is a help article on how to do that on help.getsync.com This is no bug of Sync; it does exactly what it's supposed to do - Sync files. You just have not configured it correctly for your needs

Ahhh did not know that! Thanks for clarification Helen!

I think you misunderstood my post The way the encrypted key is created is basically "just" the first 33 bits of the read only key and that the first character is a F. It is NOT a read only key - since it starts with F it is a normal encrypted key for that share. This procedure that I describe is known to work. (See this post) This way it is easy for scripts. You have the API create a share with keys not links and then take the read only key and modify it according to my description or the post I have linked and you then have the proper encrypted key for that share. This also works for already existing folders, for example if you want to add one device to that share but you don't know the encrypted secret.

@all "just" create a read only key and take the first 32 bits. Change the first character to an F and there you have your encrypted key for that specific share.

I would say the easiest way is: Uninstall app from Android, re-install and then link your device to your "real" identity on your computer by scanning the QR code. Here is a help article with step-by-step instructions http://help.getsync.com/customer/portal/articles/1901247

You even quoted him saying "PM me" - I would suggest you PM him instead of replying to his Post

Did you disconnect the folder, delete the .sync folder and re-attached it just now as a fix? And did that work out for you? Also be sure to have the path correct when you re-add the folder. Sync likes to add the folder name "twice" to the path in Sync GUI.

It is working fine for me - Scanbot using the exact same method you described. Do you have your phone linked to your identity or do you have shares added to the iOS Sync app that you can write to? Also you are mixing things up: You tap on the lower left icon on an open scan in Scanbot (Workflows) -> then tap on "Share" -> and then you either "Save to Sync" or "Copy to Sync" in the two rows.

Huh I always thought that smart folders are just a collection of symlinks to the original files on disk. Interesting! Yes I guess that would be cool to have as a feature.
