I just saw this after I built these deb packages all by myself from the git source. I donā€™t know if this will be any use to anyone but I did make a repo for these packages. The site is located here and there is a tutorial on how to set it up. If needed, I can take the repo down if this is not allowed by Plex. Also, I am going to keep this link in here only.

EDIT: The site above is supposed to be made for the typical user and like stated above, there is an easy to follow tutorial on the front page.

very handy, docker version would be great integrated with beta plex

I believe the problematic part is that you essentially post the links to private Plexpass Betas publicly on github :wink: Thatā€™s one of the reasons why I wait with the push to my public repo till the release has been released to the public.

My private opinion is that there are only two reasons to ever use one of the Betas: (1) Beta includes a crucial hotfix (2) real interest in helping Plex fixing bugs. The Betas are not stable and a user cannot expect a stable Plex operation with the Betas.

Your apt repo is probably OK.

Yea, after thinking about that I did take down that github repo. Should have thought better :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, plex doesnā€™t like it when you enable non-plexpass users to get plexpass releases (betas)

For our linuxserver.io plex dockers, we have a script that checks the userā€™s plex token against the plex website to confirm their plexpass status before letting them download the beta releases

also for arm version, where is the script available ?
see no reference to a token check here

Oops, only the x86 version does, apologies: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/blob/master/root/etc/cont-init.d/50-plex-update

Update on the repo: It was down for a while, but now the link has been updated. If you want, here it is again: pmsb.dynodev.ga.

Updated to latest package, usually whenever uglymagoo uploads the Beta package, its updated on the repo as well. Sometimes I build the package before he releases.

P.S: The other link has been updated as well

@dynomite567 Thanks for your effort :slight_smile: Unfortunately, I do not know you and I cannot vouch for the contents of your packages. In theory, you could distribute just any malicious content (e.g. backdoor, crypto miner). I will close this Beta thread now so that only mods can post in this thread. I will continue to post the links to the Betas on my server here. Feel free to create a new thread. I hope you understand that my decision is not personal. I will leave your previous comments in this thread as they are, donā€™t worry :slight_smile:

Something new:

This Beta contains an additional systemd unit to help Linux newbies using PMS on their Desktop Linux. By default, PMS is a global service and uses user plex. Now, it is also possible to let PMS use the Desktop user, e.g. pi, so the user can make use of the Desktop Environment tools to manage mount points / network shares / drives. Just like on Windows and Mac. This will not replace the global PMS service mode. Itā€™s just for desktop users. And itā€™s not the default mode. PMS will stop as soon as the user logs out of the Desktop! Just lock the screen. The plex data is in ~/.plex.

Tutorial:

# stop global PMS
sudo systemctl stop plexmediaserver
# disable global PMS
sudo systemctl disable plexmediaserver

# start PMS as current user (NO sudo!!!)
systemctl --user start plexmediaserver
# (optional) automatically start PMS on login
systemctl --user enable plexmediaserver
