Continuing on from here Abandoned plugins,
Alles anzeigenSo if there updates of the packages inside openmediavault-plexmediaserver for example, it doesn't automatically update to the latest version of plexmediaserver.
How would you go about updating when a new release has been made by the developers?
The openmediavault plugin states how on its Settings Info page but it need's editing with the base update to Jessie in OMV3.

CodeAlles anzeigenUpgrading Plex Media Server Manually This will normally only have to be done by Plex Pass members upgrading to the latest packages. Command line: /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver stop Command line: cd /var/cache/apt/archives Command line: rm plex*.deb Now move the new package to this location /var/cache/apt/archives. While in the archives directory the best method is to use "wget downloadlink" from Plex forums. While on the post in the Plex forum where the package links are located right click on the 32 or 64 bit link. Then click on "Copy link address". In a Putty root session to your OMV: cd /var/cache/apt/archives Still in root session: wget(type a space after the wget then right click and paste the link. Hit ENTER and the package will download directly to this location.) Now install the package while still in archives directory: dpkg -i plex(hit TAB and then ENTER) After installation start PlexMediaServer: /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver start
It would need to be updated for systemctl and any other changes made.

Would there be any other changes, because if there's little changes like this in documentation as well I could help out.
You guys use Github for plugins right?
Would it be possible to also add in this https://github.com/mrworf/plexupdate to the plugin with a button to update plex?
It would be pretty handy and I'm still at beginner level but what would it involve to incorporate it like a new tab with input fields for the links instead of having to ssh in to get it done?
It's not exactly urgent and I'm having a go at it now but advice would be nice .
