How to Upgrade Plex

Since Plex doesn't have auto-update on Linux (our Appboxes run on Linux), you will have to manually upgrade Plex by following these steps.

Go to your Box Details.

In the Actions menu next to Plex, choose Upgrade Version from the dropdown list.

A window will appear saying Upgrade Plex Server. Press Upgrade in the bottom right corner. If you are a Plex Pass subscriber, make sure to check that option before upgrading.

Troubleshooting

If Plex gets stuck on Upgrading, wait a few minutes then try repeating the upgrade steps. If the issue persists, raise a support ticket.
