Will Plex Media Server 0.9.16.0 ever be available for ClearOS 6.7?
Or is it possible to manually update it so I can reach it via the web (Plex.tv/web/app) and the Android/iOS apps?

Looking at the evidence, my version is later than the one in the private-clearcenter-plex repo for ClearOS 6.x (0.9.11.16.958-80f1748), so, presumably I've got a version from the Plex site. I'm sure in the past we just used the CentOS version from the Plex site. Does the ClearOS version just package ffmpeg as well? If so, I would guess you can still install the Plex version over the ClearOS version, but it is only a guess. -

See this thread for more information!
Like Nick says you can install the CentOS version of Plex Media Server on ClearOS that is what I did when there was no app available via the ClearOS Marketplace. Eventually Ben Chambers packaged the app for ClearOS. -

I'm no longer updating Plex versions for ClearOS 6...at some point along the line, IIRC, an update for Plex broke version 6 (I think it was to do with the SysV/systemd packaging introduced for CentOS 7).
For ClearOS 6, the version in the repos is: 0.9.11.16.958-80f1748
In the ClearOS 6 beta, you can get 0.9.12.0.1071-7b11cfc
In ClearOS 7, the current version is: 0.9.16.4.1911-ee6e505
And in the ClearOS 7 beta repo, the version is the current latest: 1.0.0.2261-a17e99e
To install betas from the command line, the syntax is:
ENABLE_BETA=True yum upgrade plexmediaserver
But you must have already installed the Plex app (default version) from the Marketplace for this to work.
This is not to say the more recent RPM's from Plex don't work on ClearOS 6 and can't be downloaded and installed manually (eg. wget, yum --localinstall etc.)...it just means at some point there were some issues documented, and I didn't need the hassle/responsbility of breaking everyone's media servers and having themselves, their wives and their children all angry at me for an auto-update that went wrong.

Ahh - you need to click on the "Linux version" and you'll get a pop up with distros. I had a look this morning.
Yeah, indeed Nick you have to click the download then you can select your distro.

Thanks Ben for clarifying this.
Ben can you explain a bit more what breaks if a new version is used? Maybe I'm going to update the old Plex thread on how people can update manually.
