The plex plugin has nothing to do with the version of plex installed because enabling the plex repo in omv-extras enables the official plex repo (except on arm). So, you should see updates in the Updates tab when they are available from plex. Looking on my system, 1.9.4 is the newest available.

Aha, nice! Never know that!
Now I saw that it was only realeased for Plex Pass members, which I am not!

I always thought it was strange that they would "let" their paying members do their release testing

In the server interface, it allows you to specify your update channel. You used to choose between "standard" and "plex pass." Now it's called "standard" and "beta."
Hi all,
I have plex installed and working fine on my new linux board (rock64 - armv8). Running OMV 3 / Jessie / Armbian (armhf). I have the plexmediaserver repo enabled and I have installed the plex plugin. All good!
I'm trying to work out if/how the Plex server (PMS) will update using this config. From reading this thread, i think updates for PMS will show as an update (or using apt-get from the CLI) but not for linux. Is this correct?
I have found a script/tool called plexupdate which might be a solution. I have tried this but it returns an error when it tries to find the correct file/folder for the update. Error is:
ERROR: Unable to retrieve the URL needed for download (Query DISTRO: ubuntu, BUILD: linux-ubuntu-aarch64)
the 'aarch64' is returned from uname -m (on my rock64 board). Also not sure about ubuntu as the distro.
looking at the code behind the install manually link from within the PMS GUI, i see the following:
<a class="install-manual-link" href="https://plex.tv/downloads/latest/1?channel=16&build=linux-annapurnatrans-arm7&distro=readynas6&X-Plex-Token=57vHwdqZpoz69YKXk8Ua" target="_blank">Please install manually.</a>
key parts to the URL are:
build=linux-annapurnatrans-arm7
distro=readynas6
Any tips/advice appreciated.
Updates show up in "update management" as any other update of OMV or plug-ins.
There might be some delay between the release of a new plex vesion and the availability through OMV update management.
OK. Thanks. Even for armhf version of PMS?
I'll keep an eye out for an update as there is a new version of the PMS released in the last few days.
Even for armhf version of PMS?
The armhf version has to be manually updated by me. I just updated it to 1.9.7.
Thanks @ryecoaaron. Brilliant so no need to get the plexupdate script working!
plexupdate script
Never heard of it.
plexupdate is a script that does look quite useful - might save you from having to copy the new installer to the repo every time there is an update. I am quite close to working out why it doesn't work but stopped as you have solved my question. Link below if you want to take a look.

I only have to do this for arm. i386 and amd64 use the official plex repo which is no work at all. The arm package is created by uglymagoo and just takes a few seconds every month or so.

Run plexupdate.sh -l to see the list of supported distributions.
plexupdate.sh -l shows the Linux distributions supported by the program.
plexupdate.sh -r shows the URL to the PMS file that would be downloaded for your configuration.
My guess is that whatever OS platform you are running on, it's not supported by plexupdate.sh.
yes - that is what I have now worked out too. All good because @ryecoaaron has a better/easier solution.
