I hardware reset my ReadyNAS RN212, and now I cannot install ANY apps! HELP!
My main NAS server is an RN214, which has Plex installed. My RN212 is a backup server, which also had Plex installed. Both are firmware patched to v6.10.8 I recently decided to do a hardware reset wh...
See Sandshark's How-I-got-apt-update-and-install-to-work-with-Debian-Jessie . In addition, Netgear screwed up their repository for OS6.10.8, and that (but not what is discussed in the link above) is fixed in 6.10.9.
My own approach is to run Plex on an always-on PC. Media is on the NAS, and mapped to a drive letter on the PC.
Though more expensive, you get better performance from Plex (assuming a reasonably new PC). Separating applications from storage also makes it easier to upgrade either the application server or the NAS later on (or switch vendors).
FWIW, even if you get past the install problem now, it is IMO likely that at some point in the future Plex will stop working with Debian Jessie.
