I keep getting this error when trying to update my Plex Media Server. I’m currently running 1.14.1.5488, on FreeNas FreeBSD OS. Does anyone know of a fix?? Please help.

major bug for me … in the latest version plex media scanner is going crazy… no new files on computer and nothing being scanned as far as i can tell. taking 60% of the cpu
Please open a new topic with that and attach logs if possible.
None of this makes much sense, It seems you’re trying to unpack the tar.bz2 directly, all the other errors I don’t know where they come from… can you please provide more context? What’s the command you were trying to run and full output.
How did you install before the update? Are you using FreeNas plugin (iocage or legacy)? Are you using pkgng in the jail’s shell?
I’m running FreeNAS 11.1-u7
I Now get this:

This is what my server says I’m currently running.
You’re using a custom script.
Please try with the ports/pkg system.
I’m not familiar with the ports/pkg system. Please elaborate
That’s the standard way to install packages on freebsd / freebsd based systems.
Other than using the freenas plug-in, that would be wow you would normally install software on the jails.
Why are you using the custom script? I’m guessing to get updates earlier!?
yes, the Plex Media Server always states when the newest update is available. I try to update as soon as possible. the Custom script allowed for that.
That’s expected the port always takes a bit to update it’s a manual process. But it should only take a few days.
That would be great, but for some reason my Plug-In is still showing 1.12.2.4929 It seems to be several updates behind. It this normal??
Thank you,

1.12!? No unless your still using the legacy plugin system… Otherwise it should at least be 1.15.x
So, I should upgrade to the 11.2 Stable on FreeNas to gain access to the 1.15 plug-In?
Thank you,
Derrick E. Hoosic
Yes but also FreeNAS doesn’t auto migrate old style jails to the new system.
You will have to install the new plugin ( or create a new simple jail) and migrate the plex data dir.
There should be detailed info on freebsd guides and forums about this (migrating to new “iocage” jails).
But for plex the most important thing is migrating the “plex data” dir to the new jail so you keep Metadata and the database.
Look here for where that dir might be https://support.plex.tv/articles/202915258-where-is-the-plex-media-server-data-directory-located/
I’m not sure if it will be the same in your case, in older version IIRC this used to be in another place.
