Unable to update plex server
I have an Ultra 2 Plus running with ReadyNAS OS 6. I recently turned it on after not doing so for several months. Everything came up normally, including the 2 apps I have installed. I then updated the firmware from 6.10.7 to 6.10.8 without issue. I attempted to update the Plex server from 1.28.1.6104 to 1.32.4.7195 but it's failing to install. No other info is shown. Any ideas?

The 6.10.8 repository is broken, so the first step would be to manually update to 6.10.9.
But that is not enough, you'd also need to adjust some configs as outlined here:
There could still be some library mismatches with the current version of plex.
FWIW, I run it on an always-on PC with the media shares mapped to drive letters. That eliminates a lot of install headaches.

Thanks for that info. How is the 6.10.8 repo broken, and why would Netgear push an update to a "broken" repo but not a newer one (6.10.9) that would fix at least some the issue(s)? When I check for newer updates my Admin UI says that's I'm running the latest, regardless of which feed I select (LTS, Stable, or Beta).
I believe my NAS is running on an Intel Atom processor so I would presumably get the https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-300/ReadyNASOS-6.10.9-x86_64.zip update.
I read through that 2nd thread. Any idea of how much available disk space is required to do a manual firmware/debian update like that described in the posts there?

How is the 6.10.8 repo brokenAlmost all the files/folders are either missing or have wrong permissions set so they cannot be accessed. So it is incomplete. A normal 6.10.x repo has about 1000 files. The 6.10.8 only has 34 accessible files.

Assuming yes, the full repository (armel, armhf, and amd64) takes about 300GB. That includes all the libraries in the thread (plus Netgear repositories for 6.10.0 through 6.10.9).
