Plex media server repository changes

Hi everyone,

I just got an email from Plex stating that they migrated to new repositories for the updates with the package manager.

They linked to this tutorial:

My question is, should we follow the instructions ourselves or it’s better to wait for you to update some scripts in a future dietpi update?

Thank you

The migration already happened with v10.1

that’s why we have the troubleshooting template. This way you could have shared your system details @walker93

Sorry for not following the template.
Since this was not really a problem to troubleshoot, I just asked what was the status around this update and if we needed to edit something manually on our end.
