Syno.plexupdate v3.0.1 update script has been released (now self-updating)

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

The latest version of my script has been released. The most significant aspect of this release is that it is now self-updating from official releases posted on GitHub. User variable settings are now self-contained in a separated config.ini file. A file with default settings will automatically be created if it does not already exist. Default settings as listed in the file are:

# A NEW UPDATE MUST BE THIS MANY DAYS OLD
MinimumAge=7
# PREVIOUSLY DOWNLOADED PACKAGES DELETED IF OLDER THAN THIS MANY DAYS
OldUpdates=60
# NETWORK TIMEOUT IN SECONDS (900s = 15m)
NetTimeout=900
# SCRIPT WILL SELF-UPDATE IF SET TO 1
SelfUpdate=0

If configured for self-updating, it will follow the same “Minimum Age” requirements that it observes for downloading and installing updates for PMS.

You can read more about the script, how it works, and see examples of update notifications and logs on the GitHub project page:

To see previous discussions of this script, you can check out the original posting about its initial release back in August of 2020:

I hope it continues to be helpful!
