ReadyNas314 Unable to install Plex
Hello,
I am trying to install Plex Media Server on ReadyNas314 and get an error saying 'Cannot install application Plexmediaserver'. There is no other information provided. How can I resolve this? I do not have any other apps or other version of Plex installed.
I have updated the firmware of the ReadyNas314 unit to the latest version along with the version of Plex I am using.
File (from Plex site): plexmediaserver_1.21.1.3876-3c3adfcb4_amd64.deb
Model: ReadyNas314.
Update: It appears I am unable to install any apps! I have tried to install a few other apps that are available from Netgear page but unable to do so with the same error. How can I resolve this?
Thanks, Stephen. I fixed the issue a while ago.
This was what I did:
- Checked /var/log/apt/history.log. Issue was with nzbget-app:

I'm wondering if your NAS is able to connect to the internet. If you use the automatic time adjustment, you can look in connman.log (in the log zip) for NTP time adjustments. If you see them, then the NAS is reaching the NTP servers on the internet.

Is your NAS using the default network configuration (DHCP)?
Or have you set up a static IP address on it?
Hi Stephen,
I believe the NAS is able to connect to the internet. I am able to see that the time is syncing with an Internet server. What else can I check?
The NAS is not using a static IP and using DHCP.

Your screenshot only shows that you've configured it to sync. Did you also check connman.log?
app-install.log, apt-history.log, and dmesg.log might give you some more clues - so I also suggest looking in them.
