NZBGet Unrar Issues

Hello Everyone, I have seen this unrar Error 64 resolved before but the posts are a couple years old. I am having the issue currently in NZBGet with a ReadyNas 102 running current firmware. Wondering if anyone could give me some quick help on this. Hoping not to have to flatten the device and start from scratch if I can avoid it. Appreciate anyone's help.

 

  • Try entering apt-get install unrar

     

    It's already installed of course, but that command should upgrade it to a newer version.  I tried a clean install on my RN526 (running 6.9.2) and I got a newer version (5.x if I remember correctly).

     

    Do remember to log in as root - the NAS will accept logging in as admin, but you don't want to do that.

    Maybe go in with ssh, and see what version of unrar is installed.

        With terminal (on a mac) you'd enter ssh root@nas-ip-address (using the real IP address of course) and then enter your NAS admin password.  After that, just type unrar after the # prompt.  The response will include the software version number, as well as a list of commands.
