This version exists nowhere . It is Forum Preview only.
Your best course of action is to download from Plex.tv (public or beta) and post in those threads or create new. It sounds like you should turn off IPv6 on an IPv4-only network.
1.16.2.1311 does correspond to the latest beta (PlexPass) but is a build of my creation for development testing only. It is not certified for production use.
Great this works fine on my old wheezy server 
Is there a way to add this to sources.list to enable easy updates?
When this is public, it will be accessible for everyone through all normal distribution channels.
this is the public version now?
This thread is the final forum preview.
Since my last post here, it has been submitted for both Engineering and QA final review.
Shortly thereafter, it will be production unless an absolute show-stopper is found.
Do you have a problem or comment? I will address it as best I can.
Update:
The installer is now considered to be in an RC phase, and based off the same PMS 1.16.4 Plex Pass beta release. We are currently tracking to include this work in mainline PMS builds sometime in the next 3-4 weeks.
I request everyone reading here, please check one final time.

Please give this one the hard push.

The new installer worked perfectly on my 64-bit AMD64 Xubuntu 19.04 server.

I installed over 1.16.4.1469 seemingly successfully, however the installer log appears to have some oddities…

That’s an interesting quirk
None of that logic has changed but may have found it.

Would you please tell me how grep -c works versus grep xxx | wc -l ?
edit: i created 2 test script, 1 as above and 2 with grep xxx | wc -l but not sure what supposed to happen;
test1
root@proximo:~# ./test.sh
./test.sh: line 12: [: -eq: unary operator expected
same with test2
root@proximo:~# ./test2.sh
./test2.sh: line 12: [: -eq: unary operator expected
maybe this is what you wanted?
root@proximo:~# grep -c ^plex /etc/passwd
1
root@proximo:~# grep ^plex /etc/passwd | wc -l
1

I see your point about the NewInstall=1 detection flag.
I’ve gone ahead and changed that.
The new logic is:
Default values:
a. PlexUser=plex
b. PlexGroup=plex
c. AppSuppDir=/var/lib
If override exists, ingest it, Validate existence of OverrideUser and OverrideGroup + OverrideDir before accepting PlexUser, PlexGroup, and AppSuppDir if specified.
Perform final determination of New/Upgrade based on potentially updated PlexUser, PlexGroup, AppSuppDir
Installation will still be halted until it passes cleanly.
The gain here is the previous requirement that user plex:plex and /var/lib/plexmediaserver exist, has been removed in favor of a valid override specification.
I am building and testing locally to make sure nothing else has been removed.
Also, unrelated, the WSL2 detection restriction has been removed. Should someone want to install it, it will not be stopped. It’s not officially reported but won’t be blocked. (one of the engineers tried it and it worked for him… hahahaha)
nice, I will try wsl2 again soon when I have sufficient time to muck around with it.
sounds pretty exciting that someone got it to work!
installed successfully 1.16.4.1484 on a fresh reset readynas 528x, os 6.10.1 via web gui
however, it does not show up on the INSTALLED apps page, so you cannot start/stop/uninstall.
even though I have installed the above test installer via the gui (upload button)
the last supported official version from the readynas app repository is
Status update:
Found the mistake.

Whoa. what a sleeper.
As far as ReadyNAS, this isn’t the NAS packaging. This is the debian desktop / workstation build 
lol
I may be good but can’t do it all in one DEB file. 
Ah ok I just assumed 
Here is an updated build, which I did myself, to verify a few changes.
Changes are:
Reconfiguring the installer this way lowers the PMS footprint on existing installations by better adapting to the existing configuration and per the original goal of this effort.
Test build of this, pending full CI update build:
Hi, I can confirm this build works on MX Linux 18.3 Continuum .
The “official” Plex download package does not work. I spend some hours before I realized MX does not enable systemd any more… luckily I found this forum post and the download. Super ! I hope this get’s into a “public” download somehow. Good work!
For those of you with AMD64 systems, the non-CI build, to which I made some functional adjustments, is how it’s going to go public.
This has been a long road, to which I apologize, but we’re here. The last thing I want to happen is breaking everyone’s system when it goes fully public.
Hi Chuck,
Can you let us know when this goes into an official build. I would appreciate it.
