HelloBecause it was disclosed most of you can installl addons without going on Genie, perhaps because you have R6 on old X86 Nases or for some other reasons.Please Guys, Note that Whocares and me spend a lot of time working on those addons to make them work correctly on the new R6 firmware (New SDK, new problem, new desing ...) so it was for us a long run, not always easy. So if you like our addons please think on a donation. Hope you will like all the new addons we have made.I don't know on my side what will be Genie in the future, if everyone will use and like R6, but it's clear if genie is not used and the trick to bypass genie is used by everyone without return, I will think on finding a new way to provide addons. Please note, that I'm not a big fan of Genie, but that's the way Netgear ask us to provide addons. Please also note, so it will be clear that the price you see in Genie, it not the amount of money I will have in my pocket, Netgear take a part of it.I never have done addons for money, but it's more and more time consuming , I consider donation as a "Thank you, continue your work" message. (Addons are done on free time)Enjoy the addons, Enjoy the readynasPoussin :arrow:

Hi,I actually don't mind paying for apps, and had paid for several already (transmission on my old nas, sabnzbd/couchpotato/etc on new r6).I tried looking for transmission to pay for in Genie but they make it incredibly difficult. For example, when I go to the Apps section in R6, it does not list Transmission at all. Despite there actually being an avialable package for it.Secondly, their website is awful. You have to traverse a very slow, buggy website to get to the very last page which lists r6 apps and even then it did not show Transmission as available.I'm glad the 'loophole' exists because it enabled me to install an app I used heavily on my previous device, and of course will make a donation later today because I have no problems paying for an app I use so much. You are being let down quite badly by Netgear and their shoddy genie service though. They need to actually put some effort into it and make it actually usable.Thanks for all your efforts with the apps though. It is appreciated, and your work make the devices so much more than simple NAS.

In these strange times, unfortunately, nothing is free.That's why I do not mind if I have to pay or contribute a small sum, because this job requires a lot of time, knowledge, etc..Luckily, users who have the knowledge, they also share it with us.Thanks again to all of you, without you, this forum probably would not exist today.

Thank you Interested. Agree with youI will add to my 1st post :Nobody is forced to pay, the only goal of this post is to explain that doing an addon is not so simple and it require time and knowledge.So like before people can use all the addons for free if they use the backdoor, I will as long as I have time and pleasure to do addons. If they like an addon a donation is welcome but not mandatory.If I was doing addon to be rich or have a lot of money, I should have stop since a long time :P

Maybe readynas/NTGR/genie can read this thread and help users and developers.Thank you to super-poussin for his continued efforts.

Cloud you please tell me which f/w version and nas model you used?
By reading his active posts, it is a ReadyNAS 104 with 6.0.4 firmware on it. He already got Transmission running anyways, bypassing the Genie 'store'.

It is clear to see on these forums the feedback of Genie, not to mention the smbbeta private forums. The Product Managers need step up and take action.

Here are a few examples:

ReadyNAS OSv6 almost works better on legacy products than the new line :D

Rebooted my RN516 tonight and once rebooted reported that HTOP was uninstalled, WTF? This is the second time this has happened on RN516 w/ 6.04.

Any ideas?

This seems 1/2 baked. Had to have Darth SSH into my RN516 to enable/fix the APPs tab, today in the logs I see "Volume: System volume 'root' usage is 95 %. This condition should not occur in normal conditions. Please contact technical support" (no idea why) and now this. I am on my second RN516, this first one the LCD/fron panel was defective.

I am about to the end of my rope........

Contact Darth again, I guess. If a bug is causing your 4GB OS partition to fill up they will want to get this addressed so that others don't run into this issue.

Just checked and looks good now no idea why...

I will shoot Darth a PM as that is a little worrisome. Feel like a beta tester.

Perhaps some temporary files nearly filled it. But that is worrisome. Temporary files on the OS partition shouldn't go close to filling it.

....and what do you know, the same issue I had NTGR/Darth address last week is back f$%k!!!!! Addon/HTOP uninstalled and when I click on the Apps tab, nothing but a spinning wheel.

I think I'm done, may request a RMA tomorrow and wait until the bugs are addressed.
