Plex Media Server not compatible in Mac OS 10.10

Plex Media Server

Latest version is not compatible with 10.10, while in downloads states should be from 10.9.
There’s no possibility in the website to download a compatible old version, or in the setting to prevent updates, as I’m aware.

Thanks for your time

There are a lot of folks posting about older macOS. Sorry it got you too.
If you don’t have access to your PMS Settings → General and the following,
Server Version Updates

then you can still change that setting manually to avoid future issues.
To do so you must quit PMS if it’s running. Then you can type

  • defaults read com.plexapp.plexmediaserver ButlerTaskUpdateServer
  • defaults write com.plexapp.plexmediaserver ButlerTaskUpdateServer "askme"

As far as finding older versions of PMS goes, there’s a thread in the forums about that, and you would then need to know the exact filename was:

PlexMediaServer-1.28.2.6151-914ddd2b3-universal.zip

which has a sha1 fingerprint you should verify!

$> shasum PlexMediaServer-1.28.2.6151-914ddd2b3-universal.zip
2cf82b505fe43a888164eb0d3bd1f33a8f546a4c  PlexMediaServer-1.28.2.6151-914ddd2b3-universal.zip
$>

If you have no luck, holler.
