On my RN516 the 6.0.8 firmware update has made a big difference to the addon's, there is now an Installed Apps tab, an Available Apps tab and a genie+ Marketplace tab, which appears to work as below:
Installed Apps : List all installed apps (on mine only Plex is showing as I currently have nothing else installed), it was initially showing the Plex as Off, but clicking On twice in a row and it stayed as On, I have not tried a reboot yet)
Available Apps : Seems to be all the free apps from the genie+ marketplace
genie+ Marketplace : Seems to be any paid apps on the genie+ marketplace
Before the update there were very few apps as showing as available on the RN516, now there are 9 on genie marketplace tab and 22 on the available tab, a big improvement from what I had seen in the previous firmwares, although I have not yet tried installing an app to know if that works as expected.
