Updating Plex on FreeNAS 9.3!!

[depasseg]

The update notification in the Plex GUI is flawed. Don't worry about it.

I imagine that. But it's gone after reboot the whole machine.

Updater is not working now as they have moved to stable version - and site it was pulling from is no longer. Anyone able to help with updating the script to pull the correct version so this is still viable?

When running the script it shows this:

I have tried updating it to the current download page but that did not help.

UPDATE:
I actually just used the -l local flag and showed it where I downloaded the file with a force as well. Just thought I would get the ball rolling with asking for the update of the updater.sh

The script isn't going to work any more until it gets updated.

So what changed? The downloader location?

Might want to hold off on updating for a bit. There are a few things that were broken regarding clients and playback with this update. Head over to the plex forums for details.

There is a new script explained in this thread. https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/update-to-plex-v1-0.44408/
And as others have mentioned, you might want to hold off a bit (or take a snapshot just in case your clients can't connect).

Just read a post over on the Plex forms by Ned the Nerd (and of course I can't seem to find it now) that a fix is coming in the next release of PMS for the issues.

Edit: Found it

This is how I update (followed instructions from this forum and the plex forums after creating the jail using the gui plugin)

Start shell from Freenas page
type 'jls' to obtain number of plex jail
type 'jexec jailnumber csh'
type './PMS_Updater.sh -u PlexPass_myusername -p PlexPass_mypassword -a -v'

This right here is how I have updated my PMS on 9.10 for a few months now, works great and is super easy. Thank you very much!
