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

• apply_updates - Applying updates
• check_updates - Checking for updates
• get_updates_status - Querying status of updates

apply_updates

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.
