Does not download Plex Pass version with token specified

[Gheez]

Right after I installed plexupdate with installer.sh it tried to update but didn't find the newest version.
I can see the new verison on https://www.plex.tv/downloads/ when logged in to plex.tv:

Plex Media Server for Linux
1.7.2.3878-8088811b8
May 27, 2017

I tried running it manually and point to a config with a specified token:

gheez@EPICPOWER:/opt/plexupdate$ sudo /opt/plexupdate/plexupdate.sh --config /etc/plexupdate.conf

Tried reinstalling it:

gheez@EPICPOWER:~$ /opt/plexupdate/extras/installer.sh

This script needs to install files in system locations and will ask for sudo/root permissions now

Found plexupdate.sh in '/opt/plexupdate', using that as your install path

After reinstalling it, it seems like it removed the line with TOKEN= in the config:

gheez@EPICPOWER:~$ cat /etc/plexupdate.conf
AUTOINSTALL='yes'
AUTODELETE='yes'
DOWNLOADDIR='/tmp'
PUBLIC='no'
AUTOUPDATE='yes'
PLEXSERVER='10.1.19.101'

Try running it with the verbose option (-v) and report what it says. You're definitely getting the public version rather than plexpass, so it is having a hard time getting a token somewhere.

Using the verbose option didn't give any error information, and I realized I read plexupdate will read the credentials from the Plex Server preferences.xml file, I removed it and re-run the script. It asked for my email and password, and it found the new plex server version.

Before I did, I checked the Preferences.xml file for a token, I found one and tried in manually in plexupdate but it didn't find the new version.

It seems you should not try to use token specified in Preferences.xml since it might be a deprecated parameter or just not often updated. I just got a new token with your provided method and added it manually to plexupdate.conf.

Working like a charm.
