You can update PlexPy by going to the Settings > Check for Updates.

If that doesn't work:

  1. Shut down PlexPy.

  2. Using your shell/command line, run the following from the PlexPy folder:

     git pull

  3. Start PlexPy as normal.

If you want to stop beta testing PlexPy, please move back to the master branch. I have been known to break things on the dev branch.

  1. Shut down PlexPy.

  2. Using your shell/command line, run the following from the PlexPy folder:

     git checkout master

  3. Start PlexPy as normal.

General troubleshooting:
  • If your datatables are not loading correctly, try doing a force refresh (Ctrl+F5) before reporting a bug.
  • Check the PlexPy logs for any errors or warnings before posting your bugs. You might be able to figure it out by yourself.

Buy me a coffee if you want to support the project!
