plex-desktop when installed from snap in Arch Linux, volume control is inconsequential, meaning your roll it up and down and does nothing to the volume.

For anyone wondering why this is out of date.

I've been trying to make the latest version of plex-desktop work here. But sadly have an issue with it getting stuck at the first loading screen with no error logs anywhere. If anyone can help out, please do! They have updated FFMPEG, MPV (and maybe QT) and their forks are no longer binary compatible with the arch packages, requiring the use of the forked versions included in the package.

(The same issues are valid for plex-htpc since they're essentially the same app)

@ludvigHz thank you for pinpointing the issue, using QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb did the trick. Thanks !

Could you try running with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb and see if that changes things? Considering you are on plasma, your environment might be set to use QTs wayland backend by default.

@matt17br plex-desktop is a snap image, so there is no real rebuilding to be done here. However, I just tried rebuilding plex-desktop: it doesn’t solve the segfault when using wayland instead of X11.

I just tried on a computer with an Nvidia dGPU: same issue.

@Bobyl and all those having issues since the last few days: try rebuilding the package. see the last few comments in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plex-media-server?com

@jimbodf Can't do that since I use plasma as my window manager.

@Bobyl @mfcmquintela I had the same issue. Uninstalling qt5-wayland did the trick for me.

@ludvigHz Here is the backtrace of a wayland segfault: https://pastebin.com/W4TXuCdr It occurs on computers using Intel iGPU (all my computers use integrated graphics, I'm therefore unable to test if this issue occurs with discrete Nvidia or AMD GPUs).

Which other information can I provide?
