For me, I have found that if you hit “Update” in the TrueNAS GUI under Jails for plex that it will roll it back to whatever is in their database. I don’t recall the version at the moment.
As @harvimt said I assume plex broke something because it errors with a SIGSEGV. The script itsself is fine, it’s just scraping the API, download and installs it.
To somewhat fix your install you can download PlexMediaServer-1.32.5.7349.8f4248874-FreeBSD-amd64.tar.bz2 which is a bit older and use the -l parameter to install it.
Well there’s https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexmediaserver-1-32-6-7371-broken-on-freebsd/849348/38
Looks like this is actually a Plex problem and not a PMS problem. Downgrade is necessary. You can do this from PMS:
fetch https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/1.32.5.7349-8f4248874/freebsd/PlexMediaServer-1.32.5.7349-8f4248874-FreeBSD-amd64.tar.bz2./PMS_Updater -l PlexMediaServer-1.32.5.7349-8f4248874-FreeBSD-amd64.tar.bz2We will just have to wait and see if they fix 1.32.6 for FreeBSD. Until then they should really remove the DL link…
