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...

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.
... Dec 31 23:09:15 RN524 connmand[4308]: ntp: adjust (slew): -0.002590 sec Dec 31 23:17:47 RN524 connmand[4308]: ntp: adjust (slew): -0.001959 sec Dec 31 23:34:51 RN524 connmand[4308]: ntp: adjust (slew): -0.001616 sec Dec 31 23:51:55 RN524 connmand[4308]: ntp: adjust (slew): -0.001809 sec ...
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.

Hi Stephen,
How can I configure the NAS to connect to the internet as required? What should the required setting be?
When I checked apt-history.log, I see this error:

Look in dpkg.log next.

If you are using the default DHCP network setup, then you should be able to reach the internet (though you might need to forward a port later on to connect to plex when you are away from home).
Are you using DHCP now?
