FOA, I want to thanks (again) @drmagoo for his wonderful RasPi PMS version.
Reading that an official PMS ARMv7 and v8 version distributed as .deb will be mantained (Plex Media Server and Much faster (hopefully), smaller (mostly) and better PMS builds preview (1.15.0.573-123756e9a)) I wonder if that version will replace the ones served at http://dev2day.de/ somehow?
Thx, Wolf
I think users should prefer our official package (as that’s what we will support). The packaging itself affects how PMS is installed/started. Technically there shouldn’t be any problems if this alternative package worked before, but I don’t see much benefit in using it from now on either.
Thanks @tamas
@drmagoo posted some instructions on how to manually “update” at this beta stage at Plex Media Server for armhf (arm64) Debian / Ubuntu: Beta Packages
Will you guys add an apt source later on or would some scripting be needed? (ie wget/curl of the .deb and then apt install of the local file)
Thx.
Yes, we plan to add a deb source very soon (hopefully before this build goes stable).

@WolfganP Yes, it’s nearly time to retire my repository. As soon as the new official repo is deployed and there is a stable public release for armv7 and armv8, I will pull the plug.

I just want to say a big thank you to @drmagoo for your behind the scenes help with testing and verifying the new offical packages for ARMv7 and ARMv8 that are now available in beta

For us Linux semi-illiterates, is there a step by step guide to a fresh install of the official PMS ARM7 to Rasp Pi, similar to the excellent guide at
Thanks
There is no public, stable, official armhf / arm64 Debian / Ubuntu release at the moment. Your referenced guide describes the most recent option to get a stable PMS setup on any RPi.
As soon as the official armhf / arm64 Debian / Ubuntu release goes public, Plex will also publish official documents for armhf / arm64

Now that the v1.51.x production image was released (Plex Media Server thx Plex team!) is there any news on the official repository or are you @drmagoo going to pick them up till the official repo is up and running?
(just to avoid manual installation)
Thanks!
@tamas Would be great if you guys could setup the repo ASAP as more people will get the following message when using the repo:
E: Failed to fetch https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/dists/./public/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
Again, thanks to @drmagoo which have made it possible for me to use Plex on my two ASUS Tinkerboards for months without issues or anything! The build has been working more fluent than the setup on my Windows PC which is incredible! And thanks to the Plex team for an epic media solution and the support for armv7/8 
The official repo should be online, shortly @alehandro.ax your repo url looks wrong. It should only be repo/deb/dists/public and not repo/deb/dists/./public.
I don’t plan to add the official packages to my repo. I would have to re-sign the packages and so on. A mess.
I will update the documentation and so on this weekend and hopefully will come up with a simple migration plan

I’ve tried them both since I read that Ziggimon recommended it in an earlier thread seen below.
Yeah, I assumed that you will shut down the repo as it is no longer needed. Out of curiosity uglymagoo, do you have any number of the total users of your repo?
Hi alejandro.ax,
I’m afraid I can’t help you with numbers etc as I’m no longer working at Plex. You will need to reach out to one of the staff or ninja’s at Plex since your asking for numbers I don’t have access to.
Thanks for al your hard work.
On the main download site you can choose 2 arm installers, but they are for Ubuntu 16.04 and above.
I am on 14.04, will that be supported too?

Ubuntu 14.04 will be EOL in 2 weeks and Plex does not support it anymore (upstart init system vs systemd). Please just upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
Tell us more about your device and we can tell you what’s the correct version.
Wonderful, thanks a lot @drmagoo. Looking forward for the migration plan to the new repository, let me know if tested if needed.
@drmagoo, if I don’t use “./public main” I get the following error every time I update:
W: Conflicting distribution: https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public InRelease (expected public but got )
Would be great if any of the devs could give us an ETA for the armhf/arm64 repo given @tamas said the following back in February
It’s a warning, not an error, and a daily reminder that the Plex repo has been broken for a very long time 
Please still bear with this warning and do not use ./public. That’s just a very dirty hack to suppress the warning, very wrong and has potential dangerous side effects.
Yeah, I meant warning… Oh, thanks for the Heads-up! I’ll revert it then
@ChuckPa, do you have any ETA for when the repository is going live as we have been waiting for an announcement in over 6 weeks? It doesn’t have to be very specific, just “#weeks” help as we now have no clue if this is going to take weeks, months or even years given the warning has been present since June 2017…
Ok, thanks.
I have a Odroid XU4 that I run Ubuntu 14.04 on at the moment.
What version is the best for me to install?
Or should I wait till the repo is live?
Br,
Raymond
