Plexamp Headless Upgrade issues?

Hi ive hbeen upgrading plexamp in my pi via ssh with the command:

sh plexamp/upgrade.sh

This usually works yet now im getting returned:


bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
        perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
chown: cannot access 'plexamp': No such file or directory

What do i do to fix this? will i have to do a complete reinstall?

first, revert to prior version …

cd ~
mv plexamp.last plexamp
sudo systemctl restart plexamp

then, try the upgrade script again

Thank you so much tgp-2

Worked…yay.

I wish all these CLI commands for plexamp headless were documented and accessible somewhere on official plex for us less technical peeps.

Is there such a place and i dont know about it?

some setup notes (and a basic install script) at the link below … includes some links to forum posts describing workarounds for some common issues … for the case where the zip file doesn’t download completely, i didn’t include the workaround described in this thread, but rerunning the install script should work
