Logitech Media Server by Super-Poisson not compatible with 6.6.0
In addition to the NasTools version the Super-Poisson version 1.0.6 does not work after upgrading to 6.6.0.
Every time Netgear does an update it creates a whole set of new problems for their users. It is very irresponsible to release such buggy software before it is properly tested. I will simply not update again till they get this fixed. I have seriously considered getting rid of these servers and going with a more dependable product.

There certainly were too many bugs in some of the previous ReadyNAS releases this year, but I don't think its fair to blame Netgear for the LMS issue.
OS 6.6 included a kernel update (to Debian Jesse), and these apps generally hadn't been updated in a very long time. Personally I don't consider this to be a bug. Windows 10 didn't work with some of my old Windows XP programs, and I don't consider those bugs in Win 10 either.
If Netgear never updates the OS version, then over time it becomes vulnerable to security vulnerabilitles - and newer linux programs can't be installed. So I think there is a need to stay reasonably current.
Something like docker might be a better path for apps - there's an idea there on the idea exchange that you might consider voting for.
