Terminal shows newest PMS version installed, General settings in PMS shows old version

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#:Ubuntu Linux 18.04.3
Player Version#: Version 1.18.2.2058

So I have this unusual problem with my PMS and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or knows how to fix it.

If I request sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install plexmediaserver it tells me that I already have the most recent version, however if i open the media player on safari or any other device it shows me that an update is available and that I have version 1.18.2.2058. on AppleTV it only shows me that I need to update to the most recent version to access the media.

Any ideas on how to fix this are very much appreciated.

You’re showing 1.18.2.2058 and dpkg is confirming that.
The AppleTV is correct in what it reports.

Public PMS is now at 1.20.1.

Do you wish to remain on 1.18.2 or upgrade to public?

It sounds like you need:

  1. sudo apt-get update (to pull the new version list)

  2. sudo apt-get upgrade

Hi ChuckPa,

The info on Terminal shows this:

plexmediaserver is already the newest version (1.21.1.3830-6c22540d5).

I wish to upgrade to the public, i tried these 2 commands and here are the results:

What is this?

Ign:1 http ://ppa.launchpad.net/plexapp/plexht/ubuntu bionic InRelease

That’s not the Plex.tv downloads site. Looks like the PHT package repo

It should be:

[chuck@lizum /mnt.527]$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
# When enabling this repo please remember to add the PlexPublic.Key into the apt setup.
# wget -q https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

[chuck@lizum /mnt.528]$
