Plex Plugin version on FreeNAS GUI different than on Plex interface

[plague]

Greetings everyone!

To start with, the following are my system specs:

• Motherboard make and model: Apple Mac Pro (5,1)
• CPU make and model: 6-Core: 3.33GHz Intel Xeon “Westmere” W3680 processor
• RAM quantity: 32 GB of OWC DDR3 1333 MHz
• Hard drives, quantity, model numbers, and RAID configuration: Five 4TB Western Digital Red drives in RaidZ2 configuration
• SATA 2 controller
• OS: FreeNAS-11.0-U4 (54848d13b)

I am attempting to update my Plex plugin that I originally installed via the FreeNAS GUI. The Plex interface says that I am running version 1.9.4.4325 (see attached image 1). Whereas FreeNAS thinks I am running 1.7.5.4035 (see attached image 2). This is preventing me from updating to version 1.9.6.4429 that is available on the FreeNAS plugin store (see attached image 3).

Has anyone encountered a similar problem before? I am not quite sure how to make FreeNAS see that I am using a later version of the PLEX plugin? Whenever I try to update, the update fails with the following exception (IP address removed):

Code:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think the Plugins section of the new UI is complete yet. If you decide to create a report at bugs.freenas.org, post the issue number here.

@dlavigne, I have created a bug report here: https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/26910.

The bug I opened got closed. I ditched the FreeNAS plugin system and loaded Plex on a generic jail as recommended by the bug incident manager. Now I am running the latest Plex server build without getting the Plex plugin.
