How to update Ombi for existing installations

New Ombi doesn't have an automatic updater so we created a manual one. In order to update your Ombi, go to your Box dashboard , under Ombi app Actions dropdown menu pick Upgrade Ombi. This will update your Ombi to the latest version available.

Troubleshooting

Plex Connection Failure

If Ombi fails to connect to your Plex server, ensure the "Secure Connections" setting is either Preferred or Disabled. It may fail to connect if set to Enforced.
