What used to be simple to download old versions is now gone on the new download screen. Does anyone have a link to the version right before the 1.0.0.2261 nightmare?
I don’t have a link. Have you looked to see if you have an old version in your app data folder - PlexData\Plex Media Server\Updates

OMG! This post should be a sticky above every other post. After 2 hours of trying to fix this wretched thing Astrofisher’s comment saved my sanity.
I updated the server through normal means to the 1.0.0 version and while it worked same as always on the PC, my Roku could not load anything at all. Would attempt loading up to 33% 4 times then give me an error message. So I came back to PC, tried a few things, then eventually resorted to a System Restore. It got Plex and the Roku working normally again but then gave me a perpetual error message that Server Settings Not Available and I could only access my system through the http://plex.tv/web path but not my localhost addess.
Started looking everywhere for how to download previous versions of Plex and apparently they go into the internet black hole where they can never be found again. And when I tried to contact Support for help the web page says support e-mails will go unanswered and sends me to these forums. Which btw…after paying $150 for this product I find that level or support extremely unacceptable. But thank God for amazing and supportive computer smarties like Astrofisher for finding every single previous version of Plex that I have downloaded. Re-ran the Repair again from the 9.16 file and everything in Plex started working flawless like before.
Huge thanks Astro!
