If a newer version is found it can either be downloaded and held for admin approval or automatically installed to the server. To address this I have made a script that can be copied into a running Plex Media Server plug-in, and without needing anything else installed it can search the download site using paid PlexPass credentials and check for newer versions. But the available Plex Media Server plug-in is only as recent as the latest publicly available release. Plugins can be updated by running iocage update PLUGIN on the command line.

TrueNAS (previously FreeNAS) has a plug-in architecture that makes running Plex Media Server on TrueNAS (previously FreeNAS) trivialy easy. In the example shown in Figure 13.1.2, Plex Media Server is selected for. Plex is an amazing media server/client platform that can organize and stream those same media libraries.

TrueNAS (previously FreeNAS) is an excellent open-source network attached storage project based on FreeBSD that is very capable of storing even the largest media libraries Thanks to at the FreeNAS/ TrueNAS forums for all the help provided.
