I wanted the RN-516 because i wanted ReadyCloud. the thought of accessing my files and being able to upload to my device from anywhere was worth it to me. (i know this is possible with older devices, but not out of the box)
I assumed that EVERYTHING else i had come to expect from my readyNAS would still be available.
1. ReadyDLNA does NOT work. WD TV Live, XBOX, Sony Bravia TV, IOS Plug Player, etc.... It DOES NOT work.
2. Plex will blow up if too many files are added to it. (this is NOT an issue on my older devices). While i AM watching something from Plex, i get these errors;
System volume 'root' usage is 93 %. This condition should not occur in normal conditions. Please contact technical support.
3. Transmission cannot survive a reboot. If the system is rebooted, Transmission needs to be re-installed. and the default download directory become /Donwloads. <-- see the bad spelling.
I know i cannot blame Netgear for 2 and 3, but I sure as heck can for #1.
Plex, How hard is it to make your software work on Debian Wheezy.... must be near impossbile since it doesn't currently.
Super Poussin, you should be ashamed of yourself for accepting $4.99 for Transmission that cannot survive a reboot.
to all the people that complained "How come my older devices will not be upgraded to OS 6?", you should get down on your knees and kiss Netgears feet for not letting you do this. OS 6 blows compaired to 4.22
I want 4.22 on the new hardware..
On my side a new transmission version is waiting to be published which solved the typo
Regarding the Magie of Genie and the fact that app disappear or uninstall itself, that's not my fault
You can always ask Netgear to send your $4.99 back and FYI I did not follow the genie market to see how much addons are downloaded, I will have the surprise in 1 year when Netgear will send me the amount - netgear's fee - bank fee and taxes for conversion and international transfer. so I let you imagine how many goes in my pocket after all of this. If I was doing addons for money, I shoudl do something else like Gogo Dancer in Vegas, sure I get more money in 1 hour :P
Imagine there's 30 Transmission sold on Genie :
Total = $150
For me after netgear's part : $100 = 76 €
after tax : 76€ -5% (for change) = 72 € - 35 € bank tax = 37 €
Now imagine time to lear new SDK, create addons, update addons, helps users ...
regards
