You can download the appropriate PMS package from our downloads page. [https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/](https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/)

Then from the Ultra’s Web UI, there should be an option to manually install apps. Use that to find the downloaded file and hit install.

Edit - To be clear, this is needed to install PMS Beta. If you don’t want to you change the setting in Web to not notify you of beta updates. I believe WD only publishes the public version through their store, so you can just wait until those are available.
