1.15.2.793 not updating via repository on ubuntu?

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

I’m running plexmediaserver on ubuntu and I normally update it via apt update and apt upgrade. But this time, even though i get a prompt to update to 1.15.2.793, this version seem to not be in the repository because apt update and apt upgrade doesn’t install any new version

the repo I use is : deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main

Plex is redoing the repository so anything past 1.14 is a manual download from the website. If you are not running a default install or are on Ubuntu older than 16.04 do some searches first.

I do this when updating, works fine (note the download link URL, you will need to insert yours, easy to get by just copying and pasting the URL notification link plex gives you.)

wget -O plexmediaserver_latest.deb “https://plex.tv/downloads/latest/1?channel=16&build=linux-ubuntu-x86_64&distro=ubuntu&X-Plex-Token=GET_YOURS_BY_LOOKING_AT_THE_UPDATE_NOTIFICATION_LINK_PLEX_GAVE_YOU”

sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_latest.deb

rm plexmediaserver_latest.deb

sudo service plexmediaserver restart

Hi @pl_5309. Where did you learn that plex is redoing the repository? And by redoing, are you suggesting rebuilding, as in, it will be available again soon? Surely they aren’t abandoning apt updates from here on?

And in case you missed the why?

Thanks for the link. In no hurry to upgrade, will wait.

Closing this thread in favor of the more central threads on the topic.
