Help with Plex Application

[mikeparkie]

I'm trying to setup a new package for Plex, the download from the website works directly, but doesn't when I try with Ketarin so I need some help please...

 

Plex The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. (http://cdn.plexapp.c...ae65a-en-US.exe)

 

Url from website: http://cdn.plexapp.c...ae65a-en-US.exe

 

Also will my download url break on a new release? I currently have http://cdn.plexapp.c...e65a-en-US.exe but I am unsure whether "e6ae65a" is unique to the version download.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Reading this post by Omniferum helped me a lot, might make life easier. Also check out the online database again, I put a few together already. Figured it might help to see some in action and how easy it can be to modify.

 

I have attached a cheat sheet, most of which is the above mentioned post. It is very basic, and if anyone wants to add to it or correct it, please do.

 

Hope this helps!

I will indeed check it out, thanks for the response. Will post some results if all goes well

So just trying things out.

 

What would you do for Plex?

http://www.plexapp.com/download/win-download-new.php

 

there are two exe's on the one page, how would you get regex to select the second exe?

 

I need this one?

http://cdn.plexapp.com/PlexMediaServer/0.9.6.8.228/Plex-Media-Server-0.9.608.228-e6ae65a-en-US.exe

 

But using regex

[^"'=]+\.exe

I get

http://plex-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/plex-laika/0.9.5.4/Plex-Media-Center-v3213059-en-US.exe

 

Thanks inadvance

mikeparkie, read the rest of the Omniferum post, it show you how to do:

 

To find specific words in URL (Like x32 or x64 builds) all you need to do is add the text after the first + sign. To find multiple just keep adding [^'']+ followed by the keyword. Keep in mind it is sequential.

 

[^"']+64[^"']+\.zip

 

Keep in mind that if the 64 is directly before the file extension the regex won't match, so just remove a character and you'll be fine. So the above would turn into [^"']+6[^"']+\.zip

 

In your case to download Plex media server use this regex:

[^"']+server[^"']+\.exe

I did but not well enough, read it again and its working nicely now! thanks guys
