Is there an easy command line way to get the latest version of PLEX for CentOS? (Ill be updating to Fedora soon). It was automatic, but with CentOS canceling their mirrors, it’s dead now.
For Ubuntu its:
wget -4 “https://plex.tv/downloads/latest/1?channel=8&build=linux-ubuntu-x86_64&distro=ubuntu&X-Plex-Token=plex_token_here” -O plex_latest.deb
But is there a way to do this same thing, but with the RPM version?
I appreciate all. Thanks

Unfortunately, this no longer works, as CentOS has shut down its repository.
Which Is WHY Im asking for a direct way to download it, like the ubuntu link that I put up.
Thanks

Are you saying that not even the Plex repository works with yum any longer?
I would use podman with the Docker release. plexinc/pms-docker:beta it will update itself automatically when reloading the server too.

I would also switch to CentOS Stream but that’s not a discussion for this forum. (don’t believe what the haters say, stream is fine)
Understood about not wanting to discuss.
Haters be haters.
I left Fedora … kicking and screaming all the way.
I wanted more than Centos but more stable than Fedora.
While not really happy with Ubuntu, at least it works and I can wrangle it to look like Fedora did.
Correct. ALL the repositories are down now with the shutdown of CentOS.
So, this means that I have to manually get the download from plex downloads if I want to download.
Of course, this will be a ‘no problem’ once I upgrade to something else. But I don’t have that tiem right now.
That’s unfortunate.
Not really sure what to tell you at this point as we’ve not vetted a replacement for Centos yet.
RPMs are still being created for RHEL , etc which can use them.
So I have to ask, is the Plex Repo no longer updating? I’m using CentOS 7.9 and enabled the plex.repo and I just updated using yum as one would expect.
$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/plex.repo
[PlexRepo]
name=PlexRepo
baseurl=https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/rpm/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key
gpgcheck=1
My version: Version 1.25.7.5604
I went to the downloads page though and it is 1.25.8.5621.
So the article “Enable repository updating for supported Linux server distributions” needs to be updated to remove the CentOS portion or is it just behind?
Thank you.
I went, picked up the latest update manually, and I even tried
sudo yum localinstall plexmediaserver-1.25.7.5604-980a13e02.x86_64.rpm
…but still didnt work! 
I’ve used this repo for a long time, already. And I’ve loved the fact that you just do a general update, and it installed the newest PLEX with that… However… THIS simply doens’t work anymore…
Looks like CentOS killed off the OS, and every way to do any updates for ANYTHING.
Next step, I guess is choosing RH or UBUNTU for the next OS.
Hmm… something isn’t right here then. I literally just switched to using the repo last night and it pulled:
$ sudo grep plex /var/log/yum.log
Mar 16 19:56:47 Updated: plexmediaserver-1.25.7.5604-980a13e02.x86_64
I’m not aware of a “kill switch” Red Hat has to stop CentOS from ever getting updates. Heck, I got a ton of updates installed last night too including kernel.
Sounds like something is up with your configuration if you can’t get updates. Clean up yum first maybe?
sudo yum clean all
sudo yum makecache fast
sudo yum update
