I am currently running Plex on my Windows Desktop. I am adding a WD server with Plex Installed on the server. In Windows I have a “Tray” items that offers the option “Check for Updates”. Where is the equivalent on the server version? How do I “Check For Updates” on the server? Thanks ---

In the server settings if you are running on some linux distro on a computer > [@jgsing](#): > > a WD server If you mean you are running in on a Wester Digital NAS then that is done via the WD app store on the device. ---

Yes, it is a Western Digital NAS. I should have been more specific. ---

There doesn’t seem to be anything offered on the WD screen other than “Configure” which puts you right into the Plex interface. It’s currently on 1.32.5.7358 I will ask WD. Thanks for the help. ---

I was just referring to what i had posted above about the difference in the interface. All I really want to know, is how to perform the update within the MyCloud environment. I spent 90 minutes in chat with a WD rep who had no idea at all how it would be done. Thanks for you kind assistance. ---

The last time I used WDMYCLOUD you needed to download the file from Plex and manually update it. ![IMG-20240608-WA0000](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/6/d/2/6d2a7cd1ff4b6d1ff5b7632b146cc36fe48437ef.jpeg) Make sure you stop PMS before installing ---

Check here… > [@Manually updating Plex Media Server on MyCloud NAS](https://forums.plex.tv/t/manually-updating-plex-media-server-on-mycloud-nas/195938): > > In the examples below it is a WD PR4100 but all manually installable models are similar. Thanks to @sa2000 for providing steps. 1. Download the update binary file either directly from [https://plex.tv/downloads](https://plex.tv/downloads) or using the link provided by Plex Web App as showing here [image] 2. Then on the myCloud Dashboard, select Apps on the ribbon and then click on the Plex Media Server app showing in the installed apps list [image] [image] In this example, version 1.6.1.3722 was the installed version,… If your version of MyCloud doesn’t support manual installations then you have to wait until the next firmware update from WD. ---

Unfortunately the QA guy I pinged was off the the end of this past week. I believe they will be back next. But I do know that WD is often late with getting updates to their store anyway so manually updating is usually needed if you want the latest ---

Thanks so much for responding with this help. Unfortunately, I am using the latest version of MYCloud Home, and that Manual Install interface is not available. Sigh. ---
