Readynas Pro Business Edition - How to install libio-socket-ssl-perl ?
ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition - OS 6.7.5 Logitech Media Server (LMS) 7.9.1 I'm trying to run a plugin called Spotty in LMS but it fails with this error message: "Spotty requires the Perl module...
You will need to enable SSH access and then use an SSH client such as Putty to connect to the NAS. Log in as user root using the admin password. Once there, do an apt-get update and then the apt-get command they gave you (without sudo, since you are already logged on as root).
You may also be able to do it via an app like Shell in a box, but I've not tried that.
Note that this will likely install the app in the root partition, which is of limited size on the ReadyNAS. If this app creates large databases and/or logs, that could cause issues with the OS partition filling up.

OK, I logged in with Putty. I tried to find the right command. Then this happens:
login as: root
root@xxx.xxx.x.xx's password:

"and then the apt-get command they gave you (without sudo, since you are already logged on as root)"
Who are "they" and what is a "sudo" and what did they give me?

I am trying to do the same thing. I got as far as donwloading Putty and logging on as root, but when I try the 'apt-get update' command, I receive ''apt-get is not recognised as an internal or external command...'?
To make Spotty work (use newest firmware on your ReadyNas and newest LMS)
first:
apt-get update
then:
apt install libio-socket-ssl-perl
Do you have to be locally attached to do this successfully?
I am trying to do it via remote access across the Atlantic...

ncameron - I was successful with the same directions as above using Putty. I have however updated my ReadyNAS to OS 6 firmware and run LMS 7.9.1. Not sure if that's the difference or not but everything updated on the NAS and the Spotty plugin is installed and running well in LMS.
