Plex 1.20.2.3402 released yesterday but no update available?

[Daisuke]

I see Plex 1.20.2.3402 available:

FreshPorts -- multimedia/plexmediaserver: Plex Media Server component

Plex Media Server is used to host the content and plugins that are then streamed to Plex Media Center and Plex mobile app clients, either on the same machine, the same local area network, or over the Internet. Content may be transcoded by the server before it's streamed in order to reduce...

However, when I try to update the plugin, I'm still on old release. Can you please let me know what am I missing?

Nothing. Ports lag packages by " a few days" based on maintainers' updating them.

Tutorial: How to keep an iocage plex install up to date (plexpass)

Hop into the root of your plex jail via SSH and install 2 packages that are not installed in the 11.1 template by default. pkg install wget pkg install p5-Authen-SASL-2.16_1 This will install the supporting software to run the script. Head over to https://github.com/ryanakata/PMS_Updater...

I just used this method again to update to
Version 1.20.3.3401

Code:

pkg install wget
pkg install p5-Authen-SASL-2.16_1

Code:

fetch -o PMS_Updater.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luluhoc/PMS_Updater/master/PMS_UpdaterPLEXPASS.sh

Code:

./PMS_Updater.sh -u PLEXUSERNAME -p PLEXPASSWORD -a

...all inside your plex jail's shell of course

I use AppleID to login, not sure what password should I use, I presume I can create an application password.

I tend to forget my Plex password so I just log into plex.tv and if I log in automatically, I'll log out and put in what I think my password is and see if I successfully log in to the sight .. if so, that's what you can use for the PLEXUSERNAME and PLEXPASSWORD in the code listed above

 

[Daisuke]

When you login with AppleID, you enter your Mac password, not the Plex password.

lol .. well yeah .. whatever you use to log in to Plex.tv with .. you can't mismatch this and that .. if you use your apple stuff ..then use your apple stuff .. if you use your google stuff .. then use that .. I use the username I created with plex and the password I created for my plex account so I'm not sharing my apple id or google info with anybody other than apple or google .. my Plex account has different username/password from my other accounts... but you use whatever you want to use that will get you into your plex account.

this didnt work for me... heres the output from it
llegal option -u
usage: ./PMS_Updater.sh options

This script will search the plex.tv download site for a download link
and if it is newer than the currently installed version the script will
download and optionaly install the new version.

OPTIONS:
-l Local file to install instead of latest from Plex.tv
-d download folder (default /tmp) Ignored if -l is used
-a Auto Update to newer version
-f Force Update even if version is not newer
-r Remove update
