Ubuntu 32bit version not updating (plexpass)

Hi,

I think this might be because the current plex filename format appends i386 not i686 to the filename.

It's going to take a few days to figure out a good solution for this. I don't want to hard code the architecture, but I need to find something that will work across different systems fairly consistently.

A temporary fix that will allow you to keep updating while I'm working on it is to just add the following two lines to your plexupdate.conf:

BUILD='linux-x86'
DISTRO='debian'

for this fix to work in debian also need to add the line DISTRO_INSTALL='dpkg -i' otherwise the update doesn't work (or didn't for me anyway!)

If you're using a newer version of Debian (8 or above), you can use DISTRO_INSTALL='apt install' as apt (not apt-get) installs deb files now. :D
