I have the same trouble, the last 2 updates of plex media server don’t work, once they are installed my servers just disapear from the plex web app, they are not even showing up, i rolled back the plex update.
I have an old Mac Mini that I have been running Plex on. It is so old that it can’t upgrade the OS beyond 10.8. The version I was running was 1.3.4. I just told Plex to upgrade itself and now it won’t start. The message I get is that the version I have requires OS 10.9 or later. Now I am screwed cause I don’t know how to load an older version of Plex and there is nobody to contact. IDEAS???
Ideally using a more recent version of the OS is best at some point even using a older version might not work fully, not to mention you might be exposed to security issues. Still u might try to look in Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Updates and see if the previous version is still there, if so you’d need to install it manually.
Thank you. Earlier updates are there. It isn’t clear how to manually install though. I find a file called “updater” but it is a unix executable file and I double click on it and nothing seems to happen. Help.
What is troubling here is I am used to apple programs checking to see if they will work before installing. I usually do every update I can because of security issues but when I did this it made my computer unusable, at least for this purpose, as that is the main use for this computer.
Anyhow, looks like i can fix it but I will need more help.
Hi, I appear to be having the same issue with 1.13.5 (public) on an Odroid XU4 with Armbian Bionic (Ubuntu 18.04) freshly installed.

UPDATE: This behavior is only apparent under Ubuntu. The same version of Plex works under Armbian Stretch (Debian)…
My issue is similar, my Mac is running fine and my server is accessible through my Samsung hub (smartTV), browsers and Roku app. What I can’t do is access is through the app on my tablet. This tablet is a brand new device (Samsung Tab A 2017), running Android 7.1.1 and when it installed the latest Plex version (7.2.6.7169), it isnt playing nice and won’t allow me to access my main media library. I’m running Mac OS 10.8 and I really can’t update it any further. Where can I find a previous version of Plex for my tablet?
