What is the method for updating PlexConnect? Do you just overwrite all the files with the new ones? Do you run it again?

Yep... download a fresh ZIP and extract it to your folder.

Or use git cli or the github app (GUI) to clone and synchronize.

Depends on the OS/device. What are you using?

I have a nice helper app / addon in my signature to automate the process on osx. You can update manually or auto-update plexconnect by the app or its addon.

Wow thank you for the resources Wahlman.j! I'll look through them when I get home tonight.&nbsp;

I made a donation as a thank you for all your hard work with PlexConnect. Thank you for helping. You are appreciated.
