Installed 1.19.3.2740 but still shows as 1.19.3.2737 in PlexWeb

I saw that there was an update so upgraded the server from 1.19.3.2737 to 2740 but after the server restarted, it still showed as 2732 in the PlexWeb. I went ahead and installed it again and the install log does show that it was installing 2740 over 2740 so it had upgraded but the UI still shows as2737. Also i noticed in the install log messages that Temp Directory is /tmp even though i have it configured to use /dev/shm. In the past, the install log would say something to the effect that the Temp Directory was overriden by the configuration. Looks like somethings not quite right with this linux build.

  1. Did you refresh /reload the web app after upgrading the server? It does not auto-refresh when PMS starts

  2. Where is the Temp directory set? It will read from both the override file and the PMS Preferences.xml file. I will investigate this now.

Yep, i closed the browser and reloaded multiple times. No change. Still shows incorrect version.

I’ve set my temp directory to /dev/shm and with previous releases, the install log shows that correctly but this version said /tmp

I cannot replicate.

From Preferences.xml
