    Look at post 37.

     

    That mod in that discussion thread won't populate the apps screen, but it is needed to install anything that needs a new library from the debian repository.

     

    Once you have that done, it is possible to manually download the apps and install them.

     

    FYI, most of the third-party apps are rather old and were never maintained.  One exception is plex (which should be downloaded directly from plex.tv).
