Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-dev: Depends: python (= 2.4.4-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
Yep, you need pillow which is a fork of pil and also other dependencies to get fanart to work properly such as:
libjpeg & freetype
Hopefully you already have pip. If not install it first for your linux distro. I’m not sure if the script will install pip for you or not. It’s a test file that I haven’t tested since I don’t not use linux currently. Unix and linux are similar in some aspects, hopefully with some luck you can get it to work. If you get it to work please share what you did for others to duplicate the process in the future. I can also edit the pillow script if need be. You may need to edit the script to your needs to match you directory structure(s). ReadyNas isn’t on the list yet so you get to be the lucky on to try to figure it out. Seems strange since it’s linux you couldn’t just follow the instructions for Linux. But anyways good luck
Did anybody got PIL propoerly installed on a QNAP NAS? I tried but I wouldn't be able to get a "JPEG/ETC support OK " even I managed to install a few packages.
It might be good to post which libs are necessary for PIL to get a starting point and check if those are available/installable on the QNAP system.

I think "python27-setuptools" is the right package for python 2.7
Thank you Maddhin, but python27-setuptools seems not in my distro sources``

Sorry, this seems to be an QNAP / IPKG package only then - my linux skills are very limited - struggling to get PIL or pillow properly installed, too :(
Great work by all involved on this aspect of PlexConnect. My issue is that no fanart seems to be downloading for any tv show or film. If I long press on a series in list view, I'm able to select "Change Fanart", select a new image to use, and when I re-enter the series it will show the newly selected fanart image. If I perform the same steps and select the first image, no image is shown on the series page. Looking in the /fanartcache folder, the only jpgs there are the ones I have manually changed.
I don't like those "Connection refused" errors. They seem to stack up lately. :-(
Hm... do you have "require authorization" switched on? Do I recall correctly, that the second background you choose manually works all right?
Is there anything special to your setup - between aTV, router, PlexConnect host, PMS?

What port is your PMS operating on?
It would be helpful to fill in the "how to report an issue" template (see sticky) so we can get a picture of your setup.
Got it all sorted...I don't have "require authentication" turned on. I was initially running PlexConnect on a Mac Mini, PMS running on an Arch VM running under Xen on unRaid server. Complicated....I decided to take another crack at running PlexConnect under Arch, and this time all is working great. Fanart loads up no problem.
