I am trying to upgrade Plex Media Server on my Raspberyy Pi from 1.13.6 to 1.15.3.876 however when I run the command “sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.15.3.876-ad6e39743_armhf.deb” I receive the following error message:
“plexmediaserver-installer conflicts with plexmediaserver (>= 1.13.6)
plexmediaserver (version 1.15.3.876-ad6e39743) is to be installed.”
Does anybody know how to overcome this problem?
Many thanks
David
You need to follow the instructions at the end of the thread here, specifically remove the unofficial version first. Official PMS for ARMv7, what will happen with this community one?
##### ATTENTION #####
Finally, official ARMv7 and ARMv8 Plex packages are available: https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/
The repo on dev2day.de has nearly reached its end of life. Please upgrade to the official packages as soon as possible. This repository will disappear sometime in the future.
The migration is simple and your Plex library will be preserved.
First, remove the dev2day.de package:
sudo apt-get remove plexmediaserver-installer
Then, remove the dev2day.de repo, e.g. with:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pms.list
Now, download the appropriate package from https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/ and put it on your device, e.g.:
wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/1.15.2.793-782228f99/debian/plexmediaserver_1.15.2.793-782228f99_armhf.deb
Finally, install the package, e.g.:
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.15.2.793-782228f99_armhf.deb
Also, an official Plex repository should be available soon. Most likely, the repo will still NOT work when you read this message!

Had the same issue.
Followed your instruction.
After this i´ve done sudo apt-get update and got the following message:
pi@plexpi:~ $ sudo apt-get update
OK:1 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch InRelease
OK:2 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian stretch InRelease
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
W: Konflikt bei Distribution: https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public InRelease (public erwartet, aber bekommen)
E: Fehlschlag beim Holen von https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/dists/public/InRelease Erwarteter Eintrag »main/binary-armhf/Packages« konnte in Release-Datei nicht gefunden werden (falscher Eintrag in sources.list oder missgebildete Datei).
E: Einige Indexdateien konnten nicht heruntergeladen werden. Sie wurden ignoriert oder alte an ihrer Stelle benutzt.
And the repo is still not available. Just install updates manually as described in the instructions and disable the repo till it is available.
Btw: it’s not only the repo for armhf. All Linux repos are currently redone. I suspect there will be an announcement in the general Linux section of the forum as soon as the new repos go live.
Ok, now it works with
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.15.3.876-ad6e39743_armhf.deb
Many Thanks 
thanks for the work you’ve done.
