So I currently have PMS running 1.15.2.793 and Plex apparently released an update to 1.15.3.876. For some reason, I can't update to it.
According to my FreeNAS jail, all of my packages are up to date, but Plex isn't installed (because I use the plugin rather than install via jail.)
I ran this script in the past (https://www.ceos3c.com/freenas/manually-update-plex-freenas/), but now it isn't working. What do I do?

Also, can someone explain why FreeNAS has two plugins of the same software? Apparently there's Plex Media Server and Plex Media Server (PlexPass). What's the difference and which do I need?

If you had Plex Pass you'd know.

Jails default to the quarterly release of packages. It's more stable and tested. If you always want the latest and greatest an application has to offer you need to switch the PKG repository to latest. There are several posts about this in the forums or freebsd forums. You need to create a file /usr/local/etc/PKG/repos/Freebsd.conf I think.
