Plex Media Server TPK Package

Post by Gandalf1369 »

Just saw that the people at Plex have made available a TPK package for the latest PMS version 1.24.2.4955. Take a look at this thread: https://forums.plex.tv/t/terra-master-t ... all/731983.

If anyone tries it let us know how it went and if there were any problems.

Hello,

I have given up on Terramaster providing an update to Plex Media Server. I see that there are now 10 updates since the one offered through Plex. I have DL latest version for Terramaster direct from Plex (1.25.2.5319-c43dc0277) and would like to ask if updating is as simply as navigating to the >apps>settings then browsing to the TPK and install application manually?

Will this update the current Plex to the latest while retaining current settings?

I would have hoped it was that easy, and I tried it just before Christmas in fact. The update ran for a bit, but didn't seem to actually update the version showing in the Application window. When I closed the Applications window and reopened it, Plex was showing that there was an update available. Not quite sure what was happening, I clicked on the update button. Again it ran for a bit. When things had finally finished, it said it was 1.24.1.4931

I don't recall what it was at before I started, or if that's a higher version that is currently available from TerraMaster, but I do know that it isn't 1.25.2.5319. I'm not familiar enough with Linux, but I'm guessing that there are some permissions on files somewhere that aren't allowing the directly downloaded version from Plex to be installed. Maybe someone else here has had better luck, or suggestions on how to get it to work. I just thought I'd share my experience with the attempt.

I tried the apk posted by TMSupport, and the results are exactly the same as when I tried the 1.25.2.5319 file I downloaded directly from Plex. It says it's installing (no errors showed), but after all was complete, it's still showing 1.24.1.4931

Things happened the same way they did as I mentioned in my January 8th post. I did the apk install, there were no errors reported, and when I opened the Application screen in Terramaster desktop and opened the details on Plex, it said it was on 1.24.1.4931 but that there was an update. I clicked on install, it ran for a while (with no errors), and when it was all done, it says I'm still on 1.24.1.4931
