Plex server update source?

bjohnb · Nov 27th 2014

I've got the Plex plugin installed. When i log into the Plex web client and go to settings and it says it's version 0.9.11.1.

I know there is a newer version of the server software at version 0.9.11.4 i think. But, when i click on check updates in the web client, it says i'm up to date.

So, why is this? Where is this update being pulled from? Is it the omv plex plugin maintainer that is the source of the updates, or is it directly from Plex's servers?

Why aren't i seeing the update basically!

Anyone know?

Plex gets updated by its deb package. The pms deb is hosted at the omv-extras website now, since ninthgate website wasn't so stable.
What's the hurry?

The new permissions feature of Plexpass lets you specify either age ratings on films OR tags (that you add yourself to the media) to restrict content by.

So i want to tag films and music with "forTheKids" and only let the user accounts i've setup for my kids access that content.

But, only Plex server version 0.9.11.2 i think supports the tags! So that is why i'm after an update!

Cheers!

There are instructions on how to upgrade to a newer plex pass only version on the Information TAB of the plugin.

Information tab? I only have a Web client tab on the plugin? Is this a OMV 1.x only feature?

AFAIK, this came with 1.0, so yes.
This is the text:

Upgrading Plex Media Server ManuallyThis 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

Btw. upgrading to OMV 1.0 would be highly recommended...

I'm a bit scared of updating to 1.0 as i have quite a few plugins running and need to check if they have OMV 1 versions!

But yeah, i would like to update

If you give us a
dpkg -l | grep openmediavault
we can tell you what is available and what is not.

Or, if you want to make sure by yourself, have a look at our FAQ, there is bullet point that exactly answeres your question

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. You learn from mistakes....

I'll take a look when i get home at what i have, thanks!

I'm not really scared, i just need to allot the time to do it. The last OMV 0.5 to 1.x i did didn't go that smoothly and required some wrangling, and that OMV had very few plugins!

Cheers for all the advice all, really appreciate it!

I am newbie so I still learn and have to ask questions.

Running the dpkg shows that I have the 1.0.7 - what does number that refer to?

I have updated the server via the web interface (0.9.11.4) - I presume that this is the server version I am running, correct?

That´s the Plugin version. It has nothing to do with the Plex version.

Hello, i get in the WebGui a Update Message. I install it according to the instruction in the Information Tab.
Install was ok, but after installation i cant start Plex.

Installationfile plexmediaserver_0.9.11.16.958-80f1748_amd64.deb

The setup info tab does not tell you to do updates in the ui of plexmediaserver. You installed a Ubuntu package that won't work.

tekkb · Apr 3rd 2015

You should only upgrade via the update manager of OMV's web gui or do it manually.
