How can I get a previous beta server release, the latest version worked fine, the newest does not???

Have Synology DS418PLAY setup for a client and the latest beta software 1.11.3.4803 does not allow for the HW transcoder to run. I have the same setup running 1.11.1.4768 and it works fine.

How can I get a copy of 1.11.1.4768 that I used a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I deleted that download.

You should have an “updates” folder in your main plex “local application data” folder. That will have the versions you are looking for. Or at least that’s where they were stored for me.

You can pull the old version if you know the whole version hash. For example, 1.11.1.4768 full version is 1.11.1.4768-338ac2b75. If you have another box that has the version you want you can pull it from the preferences file or in the logs when the plex service starts.
So you can create the URL to download by replacing the current version with the past version in the URL.
