ReadyNAS 102.... Apps not installing

It is installed on my system (running 6.1.4), though if I recall correctly it took a long time to show up in the list after I installed it.

Thanks for quick response StephenB,

Is there anyway to activate Plex as a service instead of waiting for it to show up in installed apps? It's my first app install so I am assuming the app will show as a service somewhere and require enabling followed by pointing certain shares folders at it?

I have some ssh via putty experience (or at least a few mates who are comfortable with Debian etc) so happy to go down the back end path if required.

How long was a long time? 2 days, weeks etc

Cheers

I think it took overnight (certainly less than 24 hrs).

Ok thanks, I did a factory reset last night. Once the volumes finished building eta 2hrs left, I'll try another upload of plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries_0.9.8.17.282-c844f09_amd64 and if I get the install successful alert, I'll wait 24hrs and see what happens.

No luck i'm afraid. There are no apps showing as installed. Any ideas on the next step would be great?

Just to recap I now have 6.1.4 installed, volumes have been rebuilt, Plex Media fails to install via the available apps list. As do all apps i have tried (6+) I uploaded plex manually, received a successful installed message on screen and via email alert. Waited over 24hrs and the app has not shown on the front view overview of apps menus.

Any ideas? or suggestions

Can anyone help with this problem? Please. (It's beyond the 90 day phone support as it took me some time to buy the hdd)

You still have free support, just not via phone. Try support.netgear.com.

Thanks, I upgraded to 6.1.5 yesterday, performed a factory reset, waited for the volumes to rebuild but the same issue remains. I've just logged a support ticket. I'll post the solution once it's figured out.

SOLUTION
This is for anyone encountering the same issue as I had.

Netgear support directed me to this app page http://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9
Where I downloaded an older version of Plex media server. [plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries_0.9.7.28.0-d1f35c1-netgear2_armel.deb]

If you want the direct link here it is http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/apps/pool/p/plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries/plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries_0.9.7.28.0-d1f35c1-netgear2_armel.deb

I uploaded this app via the frontend and received the same successful message as before except this time the app showed under the installed apps menu and I was able to toggle the service on and get it working.

I am yet to find out why the downloading from the available apps menu is failing and also I downloaded the readynas surveillance app from the app page provided by Netgear support and although the install was announced as failed and written in the logs as failed I can see the app installed and can toggle the service on.
It's clear there are some bugs in the OS at least on my device but the end goal was installing Plex Media Server and it's on there now. Don't even want to think about upgrading plex versions anytime soon.

Thanks to StephenB and mdgm for their advice. I hope this helps someone else out there.
