Cannot upgrade Plex media server past 1.31.3.6868

Server Version#: 1.31.3.6868
Player Version#: 4.145.1?
I have an old Mac mini running Catalina 10.15.7. The iOS app is telling me I need to upgrade my server to 1.41.2 or newer. I upgraded it as high as I could but it only got to version 1.31.3.6868 and it says it is up to date. When I looked at the supported OS section it looks like support stopped at Mountain Lion but this is a few generations after that. Did support for this version drop and no one bothered updating the information? i also made sure it was claimed and everything and the web player still works.

Catalina is still supported. My primary Plex server is a Late 2012 Mac mini running macOS 10.15.7. You can grab the latest version here:

Manual installation is pretty simple. Just follow the steps in this article under macOS:

Just to be super safe, you may want to backup your Plex server data directory, the location of which you can find here:

I don’t expect you’ll have any issues; but better safe than sorry.
