The Qt 6.7 problem is an issue where xdg-open inherits the environment of the Plex app causing kde-open to try to load the Qt 6.6 libraries from /opt/plex-desktop/lib due to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in Plex.sh.

This can be solved by editing the RUNPATH of the binaries using chrpath then removing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH line from Plex.sh. It turns out The main Plex library has a working RUNPATH but includes a bunch of automation cruft. The transcoding binary does NOT have it set, and QtWebEngineProcess needs no changes. In /opt/plex-desktop/bin run:

chrpath -r '$ORIGIN/../lib' Plex
chrpath -r '$ORIGIN/../lib' Plex\ Transcoder

However, this only exposes additional issues with all of the Qt environment variables set in this script. I couldn't find a super clean way to fix this, but interestingly enough KDE uses a little utility for their AppImage deployments to deal with this exact problem:

https://invent.kde.org/brauch/appimage-exec-wrapper/

Compile it and copy the exec.so file into /opt/plex-desktop/lib then alter Plex.sh like this:

https://gist.github.com/mrgrim/1357da402f8ceccaf8224e145fa6acc3

This could even allow using LD_LIBRARY_PATH and not using chrpath. The choice is yours. Using chrpath seems cleaner but pulls in a dependency.

I also got the error: kde-open: /opt/plex-desktop/lib/libQt6Core.so.6: version `Qt_6.8' not found (required by kde-open) I ALSO was able to fix with MrGrim's comment from 10-01-24: "mrgrim commented on 2024-10-01 05:16 (UTC)"

Knurz commented on 2025-01-27 12:06 (UTC)

I still got the same error as @DerHerrGammler. This is not really a fix, but either a patch that will be overwritten in the next update (I suppose): Change the startup-script in /opt/plex-desktop/Plex.sh, add a comment to line 3 leaving LD_LIBRARY_PATH to prev. values/unset.

This fixed the login-problem for me. Tested it by playing some SD/HD Videos (direct, non-transcoded) and it worked fine on my system (KDE w. Wayland).

Thanks @mrgrim! https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plex-desktop?O=20#comment-992918 It worked! I could login using X, but on Wayland it didin't work.

I tried the fix by @mrgrim, but I am getting on the latest KDE plasma and NVIDIA Drivers 565.77:

The fix described by @mrgrim at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plex-desktop?O=20#comment-992918 worked for me!

matt17br commented on 2025-01-03 13:49 (UTC)

@username227 The fix looks promising but I am unsure as to how to apply the same configs as the Nix package on Arch. Any idea?

username227 commented on 2025-01-03 12:26 (UTC)

Seems like this might be a known issue and not a package issue. See this thread for a possible solution: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/342824.

DerHerrGammler commented on 2025-01-03 04:54 (UTC)

@username227 - it was in fact not installed but also unfortunately didn't solved the issue

username227 commented on 2025-01-03 03:56 (UTC)

@derherrgammler - do you have the package python-pyqt6 installed? if not, try installing it and see if that helps.
