I was on my plex webpage and noticed it said there's a server update available. I know that it says you shouldn't need this but I thought what's the harm. So I went to the plex tab in omv and saw the details for updating. There was a section for Plex pass members and underneath a different section for manual update. Okay, I'm not a plex pass member so I'd be best using the manual method, right? So I go ahead and delete the files from /var/cache/apt/archives, then I go to do the wget command, but it says I've to copy in a link. Where's the link? I do a websearch of "wget downloadlink" and all the results point me to https://www.plex.tv/downloads/ which has a dropdown box which leads to a file download, not a wget command.
So I eventually look above and see in the plex pass members section of the tab it mentions logging into a private section of the plex forum (I don't remember exactly as I no longer have plex installed to see what's written on that tab). So I'm supposed to get the wget link from this private section that I can't access? Why didn't the manual method say it's just for plex pass members?
I tried downloading the file and transferring it across to my omv server and ran the dpkg command there. Okay, that worked, back in business. I tried to execute the last step in the instructions : "/etc/init.d/plexmediaserver start" but I get no such file or directory. I go to /etc/init.d/ and I can see plexmediaserver is there.
Okay, seems I shouldn't have bothered with any of this in the first place. I went back to my OMV panel and uninstalled Plex, then reinstalled it. When I try to enable it I still have the same problem:
Failed to execute command 'export LANG=C; invoke-rc.d 'plexmediaserver' stop 2>&1': invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver not found.
I'm at a loss, I've no idea how to get plex running now.
