Not only is automatic updating supremely convenient for you, but it’s practically a necessity if you have other people in your house. Manual updating is great if you need to force the update right that second, but for ease of use and really frictionless user experience, you really want to enable automatic updating. Repeat this process for all other libraries (e.g. This will trigger a manual update for that library, and Plex Media Server will rescan the directories assigned to that library. Until the library is updated, you won’t be able to watch them. If you’re away on a business trip, for example, trying to catch up on your favorite shows, but Plex Media Server hasn’t updated to include the latest episodes, you’re out of luck. There’s the media itself (like your TV shows), there’s the actual Plex Media Server that manages your media, and then there are the Plex client applications you access the server from via your Apple TV, your iPhone, or other devices.īecause you aren’t directly browsing the folders that contain your videos, it is critically important that Plex Media Server’s database be up to date.
There are three components to the Plex Media Server experience. RELATED: How to Set Up Plex (and Watch Your Movies on Any Device) Plex Media Server offers three ways to keep your media collection up to date so you always know what’s available. wget, yum -localinstall etc.).it just means at some point there were some issues documented, and I didn't need the hassle/responsbility of breaking everyone's media servers and having themselves, their wives and their children all angry at me for an auto-update that went wrong.īen can you explain a bit more what breaks if a new version is used? Maybe I'm going to update the old Plex thread on how people can update manually.Besides the media itself, the most important element of a media server software is how up to date it is–you can’t watch videos if the server doesn’t know they’re there. This is not to say the more recent RPM's from Plex don't work on ClearOS 6 and can't be downloaded and installed manually (eg. To install betas from the command line, the syntax is:ĮNABLE_BETA=True yum upgrade plexmediaserverīut you must have already installed the Plex app (default version) from the Marketplace for this to work. In ClearOS 7, the current version is: 0.9.-ee6e505Īnd in the ClearOS 7 beta repo, the version is the current latest: 1.-a17e99e In the ClearOS 6 beta, you can get 0.9.-7b11cfc I'm no longer updating Plex versions for ClearOS 6.at some point along the line, IIRC, an update for Plex broke version 6 (I think it was to do with the SysV/systemd packaging introduced for CentOS 7).įor ClearOS 6, the version in the repos is: 0.9.11.16.958-80f1748 Yeah, indeed Nick you have to click the download then you can select your distro. Ahh - you need to click on the "Linux version" and you'll get a pop up with distros.
