I asked because there was an issue with some browsers, where the source path of the upload was being sent through the APIs - which caused a failure, since the destination path on the linux system is what was needed.
That's not an issue with Chrome though - I uploaded plex earlier this week, and it installed with no problem.
I'm not seeing any recent threads from other users - there were certainly issues last October and November, but not much since.

right, I didn't see any threads either. Like I said though, this has been an issue for me since plex v.1.33.x.

I've forwarded to some Netgear folks, hopefully they will be able to help.

Model: ReadyNAS 316
Firmware: 6.7.5
I have been having similar problems installing apps, including updating PLEX.
To simplyify testing of the Apps install problems, I tried installing bindr6.
The following dialogue appears when I try and install bindr6.
Apps operation failed
Application list might be missing or obsolete.
Do you want to update the list now?
If I click Yes, the wirrlygig runs and the Admin UI freezes. The only way out is to restart the admin session with the ReadyNAS.
In Syslog I found multiple entries as follows:
Cannot open /var/lib/apt/lists/apt.readynas.com [More Information] _packages_readynasos_dists_6.7.5_apps_binary-amd64_Packages
There is nothing wrong with my Internet acces and I was able to resolve the address of apt.readynas.com. in NSLOOKUP.
Going through the logs on my attempt to update PLEX, I found installation errors like:
Failed to start Debian Package List Updater.
apt-update.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.
I have used RAIDar to download the logs.
