i have tested in with 1 file and as many as 30k. Its not that it does not stream or list, it does not even broadcast itself. To any device.Plex works fine on other platforms and stand alone distributions. It is more likely growing pains with the new addon SDK in 6.0. NTGR also bundles in Plex to the firmware, so Plex can't be as flexible as a stand alone add-on to provide quick updates; viewtopic.php?p=393007#p393007.

this is can accept.Same as above on Plex. SP's addon works fine on 4.1/4.2/5.3, it is likely the same SDK pains in 6.0 causing this issue. NTGR changed a lot in the new SDK and are not communicating clearly on the outstanding issues. It is not just Transmission, other add-ons like htop,Subsonic also have this issue where Genie uninstalls them each reboot. You can see issues reported by SP even in this thread: viewtopic.php?p=390451#p390451

this i CANNOT accept. if there are known issues, they SHOULD NOT appear in the Genie store. maybe i will create some apps and charge for them and when they do not work, just say, "O well, new SDK. I will work on it later"
