What happened to Orb?
Orb was one of the secondary reasons why I selected a ReadyNAS Pro 6 as my new NAS a couple of months ago. Unfortunately the joy was short lived: Orb was very unstable and producing a lot of exception...

Try Subsonic or Plex. Both are infinitely superior to Orb on the ReadyNAS. Even Skifta for that matter if you want an "official" add-on for media serving.
Orb is fine for mid-range and upwards desktop PC media serving, but i guess the average ReadyNAS just doesn't have the raw grunt Orb needs to run flawlessly. Which is more a reflection on Orb, than it is on Netgear, as the aforementioned apps do the same thing as Orb with little problem.
