Updater

(updater)

Overview

This describes the API for searching and applying updates to the Plex Media Server. Updates to the status can be observed via the Event API.

Available Operations

• applyUpdates - Applying updates
• checkUpdates - Checking for updates
• getUpdatesStatus - Querying status of updates

applyUpdates

Apply any downloaded updates. Note that the two parameters tonight and skip are effectively mutually exclusive. The tonight parameter takes precedence and skip will be ignored if tonight is also passed.

Example Usage

import { PlexAPI } from "@lukehagar/plexjs";
import { Accepts, BoolInt } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/models/shared";

const plexAPI = new PlexAPI({
  accepts: Accepts.ApplicationXml,
  clientIdentifier: "abc123",
  product: "Plex for Roku",
  version: "2.4.1",
  platform: "Roku",
  platformVersion: "4.3 build 1057",
  device: "Roku 3",
  model: "4200X",
  deviceVendor: "Roku",
  deviceName: "Living Room TV",
  marketplace: "googlePlay",
  token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
});

async function run() {
  await plexAPI.updater.applyUpdates({
    tonight: BoolInt.True,
    skip: BoolInt.True,
  });


}

run();

Standalone function

The standalone function version of this method:

import { PlexAPICore } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/core.js";
import { updaterApplyUpdates } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/funcs/updaterApplyUpdates.js";
import { Accepts, BoolInt } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/models/shared";

// Use `PlexAPICore` for best tree-shaking performance.
// You can create one instance of it to use across an application.
const plexAPI = new PlexAPICore({
  accepts: Accepts.ApplicationXml,
  clientIdentifier: "abc123",
  product: "Plex for Roku",
  version: "2.4.1",
  platform: "Roku",
  platformVersion: "4.3 build 1057",
  device: "Roku 3",
  model: "4200X",
  deviceVendor: "Roku",
  deviceName: "Living Room TV",
  marketplace: "googlePlay",
  token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
});

async function run() {
  const res = await updaterApplyUpdates(plexAPI, {
    tonight: BoolInt.True,
    skip: BoolInt.True,
  });
  if (res.ok) {
    const { value: result } = res;
    
  } else {
    console.log("updaterApplyUpdates failed:", res.error);
  }
}

run();
