ReadyNAS 516 Addon Chaos

Hi I am looking for someone to help me understand this new genie marketplace thing?

When i look in the compatible apps there are about 6 which are all useless.

But when I SSH into the NAS and call

root@Media-Nas:~# curl http://www.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/6.0.5/apps/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | zcat | grep Package:
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

Package: qbittorrentr6
Package: vpnserver[code][/code]
Package: transmission
Package: transmissionr6
Package: transmissionr6
Package: phpbb
Package: wordpress
Package: pythonr6


Specifically sabnzbd, sickbeard and couchpotato do not show up at all. I managed to download them using

apt-get update; apt-get install *package name*


However getting them to startup with the system is proving impossible: Correct me if I am wrong but in the past all I needed to do was to add a virtual link to

/etc/rc2.d/S02*appname*
that point to
/etc/init.d/*appname*
where the startup script lies.

When the system reboots the apps do not start.

Now manually calling
/etc/init.d/*appname* start
gets the addon running perfectly.

any help?

    I looked at their prices and they didn't look ridiculous to me. There is a lot of work required to develop add-ons making sure that add-on upgrades are smooth. Backporting software for the older devices can take a lot of work and compilation time can be very long. One error and several hours can be required to recompile.


    No fair as a once off fee i am with you. I really don't mind paying that. But in the past i always had to pay for every upgrade from them.

    Well each upgrade requires additional development work which can take a lot of time. Upgrades need to be tested and the add-on needs to be tested on a variety of systems.
  • please note that most addons do have a variable price so you can give what you want :) or nothing :(
  • Bonjour Super-poussin,

    I've just gone to the Genie website - https://genie.netgear.com/UserProfile/#AppStorePlace: but I can't find your SVN for a ReadyNas 312. Is it available and if so, how do I get it? I have the opportunity to get a 312 for a good price but want to ensure the apps I need are available for it. Also looking for WebSVN.

    Many thanks
