How Do I Downgrade from 1.18.1 to previous version on CentOS 7.7

It looks like there’s a lot of people who are using PMS 1.18.1 are having similar issues to my issues. Honestly, I now wish I’d never upgraded but I did. Does anyone have a guide on how to roll back to a previous version that doesn’t have these issues? I might be able to revert back to a backup of the PMS VM but if there’s another way to roll back, I’m all ears.

I’ll be much more leery of upgrades in the future.

Changing PMS version (rolling back) is very simple

  1. “remove”, but do not purge , package “plexmediaserver”
  2. install the older version you wish.

Your metadata (Library) is stored in a different location than the software on Linux (unless you’re using Docker or Snap) and is not removed when performing these steps.

Thanks ChuckPA. I appreciate the help. This sounds pretty easy to do. I keep all the old RPM files so this should go quick.

For RPM’s it’s a snap.


yum remove  plexmediaserver

yum install ./plexmediaserver.rpm
