Plex server update not working

Hi guys.

I’m currently on v1.20.3.3483 and there’s a new version v1.20.5.3600 but every time I downloaded the new version and try to install it, nothing happens. I re-open Plex and the same messages with the same version to upgrade is there.

Hope someone can help me out,

Thanks!

It sounds like there may be an issue shutting down PMS for the update to work. Try shutting down PMS manually and making sure in the task manager that all Plex related programs have stopped. Then run the installer.

What are PMS exactly?

PMS = Plex Media Server

I just have open:

Plex Media Server (32 bits)
Plex Tuner Server.exe (32 bits)

I close them both, re-open PMS and try the install but nothing.

Retry the install with PMS turned off. Do not restart them.

I’m sorry, how do I install the PMS while it’s turned off?

If I close the PMS I can’t go to the settings to update it. What am I missing here?

Download PMS from the downloads page, https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/. Run this manually.
