Server Version#: 1.23.3.4707 Player Version#: NA The Debian/Ubuntu repository does not seem to be working. In particular if it is visited manually it redirects to: [Media Server Downloads | Plex Media Server for Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and More](https://www.plex.tv/en-gb/media-server-downloads/?langr=1) which is clearly not an apt repository. I noticed it as I am getting an “Update available for Plex Media Server” message in the notifications. I did **apt update** followed by **apt upgrade** as usual and it did not find it. No big deal, sometimes it is slow, came back a couple of days later and still not working so I investigated a bit and spotted the redirect. I hope this is just a glitch, as the repository is by far the most natural route for Linux updates. ---

Version 1.23.3.4707 is the most recent stable release of Plex Media Server; only public releases are available through the repositories. If you want to stay on beta/Plex Pass releases, they will have to be installed manually. To stop being notified of beta releases, you can change your server update channel to public: `Settings (select server name) -> General (Show Advanced) -> Server update Channel` ---

It already was set to “public” channel so why was it telling me there is a new release? ---

I’m not sure. Try restarting the server and web client. Mine’s configured to use the public channel and I’m running 1.23.3.4707; it’s not suggesting an update. ---

Still told me. Incidentally, if you just navigate to the download page for the public release (i.e. not from the repository, not specifying Beta) it seems to give you version 1.23.4.4712 implying that is the latest public release. It looks like confusion somewhere between left and right hands as to what is the latest public release. ---

Every other apt repo server deals with this in various ways, But for whatever reason Plex decided to have their consumer facing front end download page be the apt endpoint/handle the request Here’s how a few random debs deal with different releases `htps://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster **develop** ` `https://apt.ombi.app/ **develop** buster main` `deb https://apt.sonarr.tv/debian buster- **develop** main` The first one has a component argument, 2nd Uses a sub URL, last one uses the arg following a dash in the distribution name `https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb` This branches away from the standard, that URL redirects to the official download page. Then server side it determines based on the request header showing build information which version you actually want. Opposed to every other APT repository which takes user arguments for distribution and builds. Long rant over, just realized what I was trying to see if there was even a better version in an APT repository There was absolutely zero wait to see. Every request I sent in terminal or browsers never presented that FTP like interface. They’re back and always cited ---
