Updating the Plex Server

How do I update the Plex server properly on my 314, OS 6.2.2 ?

It comes with version 9.9.14, but on the Plex site they have 9.11.7 to download for the readynas.

Do I just download the newer one from the Plex site and then upload it to the NAS on the Apps page and it will sort itself out, or is that not a good idea?

    Is there anything that has changed in Plex since the 9.9.14 release that you need? Have you had a read of the Release Notes?

    The procedure you mention is how you would update it. But as Ixa mentioned the new version is not on apps.readynas.com
  • I was just trying to ensure I had the most up to date version of software, but checking the release notes there are a couple of features I can live without, the bug fixes I am not sure about.

    Sounds like it is best not to update unless I end up with an issue with the earlier version.

    How often are the apps on apps.readynas.com updated out of interest?

    Occasionally. It depends on various factors e.g. when an app developer submits an update.
