Sorry if this has already been requested. It's tough to search for because I usually find results about updating the Plex library. I saw this post, but it seemed like a slightly different request: [https://forums.plex.tv/topic/118119-request-pms-updates-for-plexpass/?hl=%20update%20%20plex%20%20automatically](https://forums.plex.tv/topic/118119-request-pms-updates-for-plexpass/?hl=%20update%20%20plex%20%20automatically)   Anyways, Plex is amazing but I have one issue. It's bizarre to me that for media server software, you have to interact with the desktop to install updates. What I'm proposing is NOT automatic updates, but the ability to update PMS from within Plex Web. So you would press a button to download the new version, and then press another button to install the update (or combine that into a "download and install updates" button). The minor hassle of having to remote desktop into my server to install updates has always been curious to me considering the rest of Plex is so wonderfully automated. ---
