pkg not providing the latest plex?

[indivision]

pkg update/upgrade is not resulting in the latest build for Plex Media Server.

Is it an option within FreeNAS to tap into a repository with more up-to-date builds for Plex?

Paging @Jailer... Or just use my script, which takes care of this for you.

Doesn't seem like your question has anything to do with the plugin (as you wouldn't be using pkg commands at all in that case).

You are right. I started by using the plugin. But I remembered that in the past the plugin was updated more slowly than the pkg updates. So, I've installed it in a blank jail manually and this should perhaps be in a different forum section.

That said, having installed and tested the plugin, I could see that it was actually a newer version than the latest pkg update. I'm wondering if there is a way to get updated builds more quickly (like there is with some software on Ubuntu, etc.)?

I just recently removed all of my jails to rebuild them in 11.3-Beta. So, I think I lost track of what I did to optimize previously. On 11.2, it seemed like I could just use pkg update/upgrade and have the latest Plex within a few days of release.

Does this help?

PKG Repository Changed to Quarterly in 10.2?

Or with further explanation:

Change between `quarterly` and `latest` package set used by `pkg` tool in FreeBSD

The pkg tool in FreeBSD is usually set to draw upon either the quarterly or latest package set. The latest set may churn more often with updates, while the quarterly is meant to be more stable but ...

The instructions to changing to use "latest" rather than "quarterly" can be found here, among many (many) other posts in this forum:

FreeNAS 11.3-BETA1 - Now available!

if you have specific things that need fixes please let us know. The biggest thing I see, other than simple resistance to change, is that the new GUI is much more wasteful of screen space than the old one. Not everyone has a 4k monitor, and not everyone runs their browser windows at full-screen...

Thank you all. I searched for this info. But, I think the answer is perhaps, while repeated, buried within threads.

I never would have thought to look on page 2 of "FN11 Jailed UniFi Controller with Let's Encrypt (iocage)" ;)
