My friends can no longer access librareis that I have granted access to.
Everything was working until the security incident that happened on the 09-09-25, I have had them reset there password because of it, I removed and re-added them to the libraries and they still cant access them. cant seem to find any help any where else so hope some one can lend a helping hand.
thank you
See this announcment: Plex Media Server - Security Update - #3 by PlexInfo
You may need to update to the current version of Plex Media Server.
Thank you so much this has solved my issue.
I just don’t understand why when I clicked on “check for updates” it didn’t do any thing.
Why didn’t they implement this update to be rolled out automictically?
anyway, it worked and I’m thankful it did.
Good to read things are working again.
A claimed server periodically checks with plex.tv for updates. Unsure why your server did not indicate an update was available.
You can subscribe to the Plex Media Server Announcement Thread to be notified when new versions are available. At the bottom of the thread change Normal to Watching.
Plex Media Server on Windows has an option to automatically download updates in Settings > server_name > General. You may have to click “Show Advanced” to see it. See https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289496-general/.
I do not know if Plex will automatically install the update. I run Plex on Linux and auto downloading of updates is not supported (There are non-Plex ways to auto-update, but I do not use those options).
