Latest version in Apt/Deb repo versus manual download?

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: 1.13.5.5332-21ab172de
Player Version#:

I noticed an announcment about an updated release of Plex and have been trying to pull it using the Ubuntu 18.04 apt-get update/upgrade process, but it thinks it is already at the latest version, but if I download the .DEB manually from the web site, it is version:

 1.13.7.5369-93c9f1259

I can’t browse the repo directly to see if I’m missing something, but the content of /var/lib/apt/lists/downloads.plex.tv_repo_deb_dists_public_main_binary-amd64_Packages shows no new version.

When I do an ‘apt-get update’, I do see this warning, but am unsure if it is related:

W: Conflicting distribution: https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public InRelease (expected public but got )

The odd thing is that my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list file has ‘main’ instead of ‘InRelease’:

root@plexserver:/var/lib/apt/lists# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main

Is there an issue with the repo or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Here’s what you are missing.

1.13.7.5369-93c9f1259 is a Plex Pass version and these are not made available in the repos.

The latest public release is 1.13.5.5332-21ab172de which is the latest available in the repos.

Ah. I think the documentation is misleading. It states:

Note : Repository updating is currently only supported for public releases of Plex Media Server. It is not currently possible to use it for Plex Pass preview/beta releases.

I read it to mean that preview (aka prerelease) and beta versions of Plex Pass builds are not available. Maybe the commas are missing?

[Sample Edit] Note : Repository updating is currently only supported for public releases of Plex Media Server. It is not currently possible to use it for Plex Pass, preview, or beta releases.

Thanks for the tip.

Plex Pass versions are preview/beta versions.
Pubic versions of PMS are previous Plex Pass versions which have been moved to the Public access side.
