More Repo Woes - Need to update to 1.16.1 for EPG

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

All,

Here is another tale of woe regarding the yum based Repos. I don’t know about everyone else, but I got an e-mail today from Plex warning of the doom and gloom that will happen to my Live TV and DVR in 10 days if I don’t upgrade to 1.16.1.

No problem, I say. I SSH into the server, do a “yum update”, but of course 1.16.1 isn’t what’s offered, it’s 1.15.6.

(facepalm)

When will 1.16.1 be released on the repos? Why would Plex blast out an e-mail scaring everyone to upgrade without the distribution channel being ready?

Plex Pass users can go to the Web Site and download 1.16.1.

The Repo holds public release.
DVR / Live-TV , which needs the EPG, is a Plex Pass feature. – Not needed in Public yet because it requires a Plex Pass to use it.

Don’t you need to have login credentials to use that feature anyway? Why not just make the build public via the repo?

It makes no sense.

To use the feature doesn’t require require login credentials but it is gated by a Plex Pass which is login credentialed.

I don’t know why they are doing it but Engineering decided to do it this way. They appear to be running it through the normal Alpha - Beta (Plex Pass) - Public mechanism.
