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.

I just checked, it didn't survive the reboot, the symlink isn't there anymore, and i have a "new" /tmp folder.
Ya, it does some sanity checks on boot, and fixes permissions on core directories like this.

My last post explains how to change where Plex stores its temporary downloaded files. I haven't checked to see if it survives an update of the add-on

Thanks that did the trick!!!!!!!!! But for some that are not tech savy to SSH and create the directory still will have the issue until Plex addresses the issue.

Thanks

You shouldn't need to create the directory manually, I think (though I haven't checked). Plex should attempt to create it automatically if it doesn't exist, I would think.

It looks like before this thread existed this issue had already been discussed in the PlexPass section of the Plex forums.

I just assumed you would but you are probably correct once you specify the path under settings for Plex the dir would be created.

Anyone have a guess on when 6.05 will be released?

The list of people affected by the uninstall bug is growing daily. Darth Vader, any feedback yet?
