ReadyNAS OS6 - Plex not showing as running but is (RN516)
I have a ReadyNAS RN516 which originally started on OS 6.0.3 but was quickly updated to 6.0.5, it always had issues showing the actual running state of the Plex server, and even though it shows as Off...

Thanks for the tip, Govnah. Unfortunately though it didn't work for me. Plex fails to start, so I too opened a ticket. I hope that it'll get fixed soon as I bought the 516 to use as my plex server. It's terrible that Plex fails with a brand new 516 before I made any config or share changes. The NAS is brand new.
I also tried to start Photos II. I don't really care about that app since I had it running on my Ultra 6+ and didn't like it, but it's the only other app that comes pre-installed on the 516 so I wanted to tinker. It failed too with the message:
System: Sorry. Application 'ReadyNAS Photos II' is not ready for installation, but will be ready in the near future. Please check it again later.
Seriously Netgear, what kind of testing did you do before shipping this product?
