Script stopped working on DSM6

Looks like something changed on plex web site that the script is not able to read the new version and download the package anymore.

Plex changed the format of the JSON file, so the key is no longer called Synology but Synology (DSM 6). I don't think a pull request would ever be accepted here, but this updated script should work:

#!/bin/bash

# Script to automagically update Plex Media Server on Synology NAS
#
# Must be run as root.

# @author @martinorob https://github.com/martinorob

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /tmp/plex/ > /dev/null 2>&1
token=$(cat /volume1/Plex/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Preferences.xml | grep -oP 'PlexOnlineToken="\K[^"]+')
url=$(echo "https://plex.tv/api/downloads/5.json?channel=plexpass&X-Plex-Token=$token")
jq=$(curl -s ${url})
newversion=$(echo $jq | jq -r '.nas["Synology (DSM 6)"].version')
echo New Ver: $newversion
curversion=$(synopkg version "Plex Media Server")
echo Cur Ver: $curversion
if [ "$newversion" != "$curversion" ]
then
echo New Vers Available
/usr/syno/bin/synonotify PKGHasUpgrade '{"[%HOSTNAME%]": $(hostname), "[%OSNAME%]": "Synology", "[%PKG_HAS_UPDATE%]": "Plex", "[%COMPANY_NAME%]": "Synology"}'
CPU=$(uname -m)
url=$(echo "${jq}" | jq -r '.nas["Synology (DSM 6)"].releases[] | select(.build=="linux-'"${CPU}"'") | .url')
/bin/wget $url -P /tmp/plex/
/usr/syno/bin/synopkg install /tmp/plex/*.spk
sleep 30
/usr/syno/bin/synopkg start "Plex Media Server"
rm -rf /tmp/plex/*
else
echo No New Ver
fi
exit

Also, I am using this slightly more advanced Plex updater for DSM 6, but it has the same inherent issue. You can fix it, and it should install the latest version. You need to correct the variable a few more places, though.
