Hi, everyone!
I've made some updates to a few already available apps, and released some new ones.

Transmission NT
- ReadyNAS/CLOUD users have access to web UI and remote RPC
- Add them to the nastools-transmission group
- Local admin and ReadyCLOUD admin always have access
Turns out you can't add ReadyCLOUD users to local groups via the web interface. NETGEAR, why? I'll try to request this.
Local admin, local users added to the group nastools-transmission, and the ReadyCLOUD admin are able to login.
If you'd really like the functionality you can:
Modify https.conf
You can login to SMB as the local admin user and access the app folder (\\readynas\volume\.apps\nastools-transmission\), or modify via SSH/SFTP/SCP (/apps/nastools-transmission/).
Changes made to this file will not be preserved on upgrade.
Below Require group nastools-transmission you can add:
Require group ready-cloud will allow all invited ReadyCLOUD users.
Require user cloud@user.test will add access for a single user.
Apache needs to be reloaded after this. If you're in SSH you can do systemctl reload apache2, or toggle System > Settings > HTTP > HTTP Admin in the web interface.

Hi NAStools,
It's great that someone else is doing App work for the ReadyNAS.
I installed the Logitech Media Server on my RN516 and is working perfectly.
For some reason other NAS manufacturers seem to be getting more new apps written.
I tried making an app for Emby (http://emby.media/) but failed, if you could have a go that would be great, it's available for other popular NAS's but not ReadyNAS. I'm sure this would be a popular app.
The best I could do was manually installing XMLtv (http://wiki.xmltv.org/) to go with the TVHeadend app!
Thanks again,
Kevin

Thanks for the feedback! I'll start looking in to packaging Emby for ReadyNAS.

Thanks, that would be excellent news to get emby running on my NAS instead of a Windows machine.
