Actually, @nibbles , I think I might be able to help on that from another thread I posted earlier trying to follow up on suggestions given here. I use the Plex auto updater which simply brings up an update screen on our AppleTV Plex app and says something like “hey, an new version of Plex is available (giving the new number), do you want to update now”? You can choose to update now, defer to overnight, or skip the version entirely. But if you update then, it takes under 2 minutes and there’s no installing whatsoever to do - the PMS for Mac handles everything under the hood.
Because of this, I don’t have any previous versions of PMS to roll back to so I posted asking where to (safely) get a copy of the last stable version, since I don’t want to inadvertently download a compromised version, even from a reputable download site. Apparently, this update process downloads each version and keeps them in the root PMS directory on one’s Mac (I don’t know about other OS’s). Anyway, I learned all ihave to do is get the previous version from my own system as it kept a copy. I think what @SE56 is saying is that ALL those previous versions are wiped out when installing the preview version. So, if one wants to get/keep a copy of any previous versions, we should save them to a safe (and different) folder before installing the PMS preview.
Here’s the thread which has more info and details: Where to (safely) download previous versions of PMS for MacOS?
