Where Does Plex Media Server Download Updates?

As a Plex user, it is essential to keep your media server updated with the latest version of the software. This ensures you have access to new features, improved performance, and security patches. But where does Plex Media Server download updates? In this article, we will explore the process of updating your Plex Media Server and provide some troubleshooting tips for common issues.

Before you start updating your Plex Media Server, ensure you are connected to the server using SSH through a terminal as root user. If you encounter an error while running a command, try relaunching the terminal and connecting again as root.

To install the latest version of Plex Media Server on Amahi 7 or greater (Fedora), follow these steps:

1. First, you need to download the current version of Plex Media Server from the official link provided by Plex. You can find the latest version by checking the Fedora icon.

2. Once you have downloaded the installation package, run the following command: `sudo yum localinstall plexmediaserver-x.x.x.x-xxxxxxx.x86_64.rpm` for Fedora 19 or older, and `sudo dnf -y install plexmediaserver-x.x.x.x-xxxxxxx.x86_64.rpm` for Fedora 21 or newer.

3. Use the toggle to download the preview release if you have a PlexPass subscription. Note that PlexPass users may have access to preview versions of Plex containing additional functionality not yet released to other users.

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, try restarting your server and re-running the command.

It's worth noting that there is an issue in recent releases of the Plex Media Server app. Some users have reported encountering a white page when trying to access their server, which can be resolved by accessing it with a work-around link until Plex fixes the issue.

In summary, updating your Plex Media Server is a straightforward process that requires downloading and installing the latest version of the software from the official link provided by Plex. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, try restarting your server or seeking assistance from the Amahi community.
