Any advice would be very much appreciated
You can downgrade back to 6.10.9.

Whether you downgrade or not, you'll also need to make the changes here:
Posts 1 and 37 are particularly relevant.
Once those changes are made, you will be able to install plex from ssh. And if you downgrade, you would also be able to install it from the web ui.
One caveat - Plex likely won't be providing the app for ReadyNAS indefinitely. You should keep a copy of the deb file. Even then you will likely have to install Plex on a different platform at some point in the future. Personally I run the Plex server on a PC, but keep the media files on my ReadyNAS.
I just had this same issue after an auto update. I only run PLEX app and when the new update came out, the upload feature for the app upgrade did not work.
I downloaded v6.10.9 and downgraded the 2304 that runs my Plex.
After the reboot checked version was at 6.10.9 and then went to upload the upgrade to my Plex app and it updated and took the file perfectly.
So all you did was downgrade the firmware and you were able to upload the new ReadyNAS PLEX server? You didn't use SSH to make any of the above recommended configuration changes?
Can anyone comment if this worked because it was a different NAS than mine? Will this likely work on the RN628X as well? I still think I'll try to migrate my server to a Windows PC, but I'd downgrade my NAS firmware in the meantime if I don't have to learn how to use SSH.

The updates needed to the apt configuration are only needed if the install script needs to install new (or updated) libraries from the debian repository. They are needed simply because the debian community moved those repositories to a new location.
I don't know if updating plex on your machine will require installing new libraries or not. It depends on how old your plex install is, and how the install script is built. It is safe to downgrade to 6.10.9, and then you can just see if you can update plex (or not).
As I said before, you can update the the apt configuration without using ssh. Download the two files that are needed, and put them into the correct folder using winscp on windows PC. You do need to enable ssh in the NAS because that is needed to enable the sftp protocol that you'd use in winscp.
All I did was downgrade to 6.10.09,
Go to admin page ,
select upload where you would send the upgrade to Plex and it installed.
I checked the Plex interface through Chrome and everthing was perfectly fine.
Then that means Plex doesn't need any new or updated standard packages. Not surprising if it is a version expressly for the ReadyNAS and Debian 8 given how long it's been since the base Linux was updated.
Anyone installing it for the first time will likely not have the same result.
Thanks for the recent posts! I just downgraded both ReadyNAS' to 6.10.9 and was able to upload the latest PLEX server updates.
I'd still like to compare the video streaming performance of 4K files using my ReadyNAS server versus a Windows PC server. Is there any problem with adding a Windows PC server with ReadyNAS media storage and leaving the ReadyNAS PLEX servers active?
