Overview
Plex Media Server can be installed from the QTS App Center to enable multimedia streaming and management on your QNAP NAS. While QNAP regularly updates the Plex package in collaboration with Plex, new features or fixes may be released on the Plex website before they appear in the App Center. If you want to access the latest Plex version without waiting for the App Center update, you can manually download and install the newest Plex package on your NAS.
How do I check my Plex Media Server is up-to-date?
You can ensure you’ve installed the latest version or manually check for any updates by first opening the Plex media server. Once you’ve done that, select the Wrench icon in the top right of the window. Now scroll down the left-hand column to the Settings heading, and click on General.

On the right-hand pane, you’ll see the version number and a green tick if you’re up to date. You can also manually check for any new version by selecting the Check for Updates button.

- In the Plex Media Server web interface, click the Activity icon at the top right of the app and click on Server Update Available if a new update package is available.

- When the update page appears, click on DOWNLOAD NOW to download the update package (

.qpkg
