PLEX Version numbering

I’m really confused about the version I have. Mine says 4.84.1 and is for BSD. After receiving notification about the data breech I reset my password, and then did a bit of reading before attempting to upgrade. A few years ago an attempt to upgrade wound up breaking the software, and left me with no recourse but to reload and go through all of the library creation. https://www.ceos3c.com/linux/manually-update-plex-freenas/ was instrumental in a clean upgrade.

However I am left with some questions… Every note about version calls out a number totally unlike what I see on my Plex Dashboard… Why ?

As well I noticed some changes in behavior of the screen… brown tones… etc that are not really even close to what I would choose… What’s up with that ?

I used

You’re looking at the version of the web client (4.84.1). That’s different from the version of the Plex Media Server installed on your system (latest public version should be 1.28.1).

You’ll find the respective versions in Settings > Plex Web > General and Settings > [Server Name] > General respectively.

Got it…
