Server updates are not updating web client

Server Version#: 1.30.2.6563
Player Version#: 4.87.2

This webpage Plex Web says that the client is bundled with the server and will be updated when the media server is updated. However that webpage above also shows the latest web client version to be 4.100.1 which is way later than mine.

I run the server on a Synology NAS but access it via Windows in Chrome browser so either the Synology version is no longer getting the client bundled with it or I need to download the web client separately since there’s no option to update the client in server settings that I can find. What’s going on here?

Not much going on. The bundled web app will be updated at some point with an update of the PMS. It doesn’t say every update of PMS will bring the latest version of Plex Web.

It’s generally a good practice to access Plex Web using https://app.Plex.tv/desktop and only use the bundled version when necessary (e.g. to claim your server).

Thanks for the info. I usually just use my Roku TV app but when I am in the Synology NAS fiddling I sometimes launch Plex with the icon in that environment which is how I am getting that older version. If there was a way I could download the latest client for Synology manually that would be great!

That’s not possible. Just bookmark/use the hosted web app
