Forget the post above please

Just tried a re-install using firmware update instead of App upload and my installation is back......

Is the above a bug in 6.5.0 ????

If you are interested in looking in the backend to get the logs of why the app is not running can help out a lot.

You can run the following:

systemctl status fvapp-couchpotato.service

That should give me an idea what it is doing.

If there are no log out put; then you could try the following:

systemctl restart fvapp-couchpotato.service.

That should come up with some logs after re/starting the service.

It would be nice if Netgear is able to print this information for the user to app troubleshoot the apps.

I have experienced the same problem today after I received the following eMail notification:

A new update with hash "98cc86da202fcfca6f45831c49d2e72ef4c459dc" is available, this version is from 2016-05-27 09:33:19

I issued the two commands requested by Mhynlo with the following results ...

There was an added "." during the rest; try the following:

systemctl restart fvapp-couchpotato.service

[bedlam1]

And I got

Although I have to confess I tried to un-install Couchpotatoserver (probably mistakenly) with a view to re-installing

I am also getting

-bash: app-get: command not found     which does not look good to my novice head

[Mhynlo]

That is odd... it is acting like the app is no longer installed.

You can check to see if your configuration is in tact:

ls -lah /apps/couchpotato/app-config

Your configs are retatined there, but Netgear runs an operation during an uninstall process to delete all of those files. If there was remove operation from the admin interface will remove all of these files, but if there was a "fluke" and just needs a re-install; installing the package manually with the "Upload" option.

Can you try installing the app manually with the following download:

http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/apps/pool/c/couchpotato/couchpotato_3.0.1_all.deb

[bedlam1]

Configs are all there

Already tried a re-install.....it failed

[bedlam1]

Any way I can do a manual uninstall and retain my config for a re-install ?

There was talk about the arm units having possible issues, but I thought there was a fix from some other thread:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Current-NETGEAR-and-Partners/Firmware-update-6-5-Apps-won-t-start-c...

What ReadyNAS do you have?

[bedlam1]

It is a Pro 4, which is X86 running OS 6.5.0 

[nickski]

Mmm.

I'm running a NAS RN104 arm(el) latest firmware 6.5.0

I've had Mhynlo's packaged CouchPotatoServer running for about 1 month - and its been working fine.

Things started to go awry yesterday when CP detected an update available and notified me via eMail.

I have no evidence that CP tried to install the update automatically, but that's what I suspect.

Anyway I lost access to CP service via HTTP front end and the service no longer starts with NAS boot.

I've taken a copy of the /apps/couchpotato/app-config/ directory for later restore and tried a remove/install cycle of the app via Netgear's ReadyNas FrontView.

CP failed to uninstall.

I removed it manually by deleting it from the /apps/ directory.

It now appears on the FrontView "Available Apps" tab - so I installed it from there and intsallation appeared to complete OK

However  - CP does not start and on investigation its not even installed! no /apps/couchpotato/ directory exists.

Very strange behaviour

I strongly suspect a corrupt install script somewhere in the dark depths of Netgear's frontview tangle of code.

Any advice on how should I proceed to fix this would be gratefully accepted?

Meanwhile off to fix a washing machine - far easier than ReadyNAs!

I reinstalled the .deb using App upload and it works again with config kept.

I'm using 6.5.0 on a RN204 (ARM)

[bedlam1]

I don't know why/how but it disappeared again today, re-install cured it......but very annoying, something is not right here

Logo/Bitmap missing on Apps Installed tab though

[crw1985]

I have the same issue with the RNXtras CouchPotato package, on a RN202 (6.5.0). 

[Bogus]

Yes, here too.

Very annoying indeed!

Maybe it's the  auto update of CouchPotato that's causing this?

[Mhynlo]

Let me build couchpotato with the latest fixes from them and packaging fixes.

I will post here once its complete.

[Mhynlo]

I have not ran into the issue yet, but there are some areas that could possible help what you guys might be running into with this build:

https://github.com/Mhynlo/rn-couchpotato/releases/download/3.0.1-1/couchpotato_3.0.1-1_all.deb

I will keep looking into it to see if there is something else that is causing the issues.

[Bogus]

The latest version 3.0.1-1 installs ok, however when trying to access the webinterface the loading wheel of my browser keeps on spinning but never shows anything.

In other words, either nothing happens or Couch Potato Server is in a neverending loop.

The other CouchPotato addon by RNxtra does work though...

Any ideas how to fix this? I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same things happen.
