Apt-get upgrade plexmediaserver

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Are the repos still being updated? I have been using apt-get upgrade plexmediaserver for a while now but, for some time now, 1.20.1.3252-a78fef9a9 seems to be the last version published this way, while 1.23.1.4528-c0513eb4c is on the website

For reference, the instructions that I originally used were from here: Enable repository updating for supported Linux server distributions

This is what I receive when I run the command:

$ sudo apt-get upgrade plexmediaserver
Reading package lists... Done

plexmediaserver is already the newest version (1.20.1.3252-a78fef9a9).

Did you run apt-get update first?

Here, I opened my Ubuntu 20.04.2 VM

You can see the normal system updates,
Then addition of the repository
Then, knowing I have a previously manual installed PMS, upgrade

ugh. Well that there would be the problem. And yep, re-adding the repo fixed the problem.

Updated my scripts to prevent that particular problem from popping up again. And now to figure out why it disappeared in the first place…

Thanks for the help!
