Has a change been made in the back end for access to https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/rpm/x86_64/ ? For some years now, I’ve been using a local repository manager to collect RPMs for installation within my home network without issue. This morning, I’m finding that hammer (Pulp3, The Foreman Project, Katello) is no longer able to synchronize content with the plex.tv repository. I can enable the local zypper repo to connect directly to plex.tv, but in general, I’d much rather have it acquired through my local repository manager.

$ hammer -v repository sync --id 12092 --skip-metadata-check yes

Try this instead: https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/rpm/x86_64/repodata/

Then please report back

Results in:

Error: 403, message='Forbidden', url='https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/rpm/x86_64/repo_data'

I would expect a failure, using a trailing repo_data should result in nothing found, it’d try to go one level further down.

Well, [BEEEEEEEP]!

Back to the original form, and forcing a new sync this morning yields a download of plexmediaserver-1.41.4.9463-630c9f557.x86_64.rpm. That’s newer, and what PMS is reporting as a new version.

I don’t know what or where it changed, but something apparently did.
