Manual Upgrade of Plex for Raspberry Pi / Raspian

Started getting a message telling me I had to update my plex server manually. Couldn’t find an exact answer. Here’s what I did (modified from /how-to-manually-update-a-raspberry-pi-plex-media-server-safely/648472/2?u=flashsplat):

Removed the old package (this does not effect your configs/library):

  • sudo apt-get remove plexmediaserver-installer

If you used the dev2day repo, you can remove it (it’ll just say can’t find file if it’s not there)

  • sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pms.list

Download the latest package from https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/
I use raspbian 9.4 and selected [ Linux > Ubuntu (16.04+) / Debian (8+) - ARMv7 ] - I had no issues:

Then install the package:

  • sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.21.1.3830-6c22540d5_armhf.deb

Hope this is as quick a fix for you guys as it was for me.
Thanks,
