I am hesitant to implement it myself, because I cannot reproduce the problem, even on my backup distro which uses KDE. If someone makes me a proposal for a change, and verifies that it works, I will do some testing on my end to ensure it doesn't break anything and implement.

Could @username227 please merge the comments from @mrgrim to a patch? This would make it much easier for a KDE user.

@Derppenning - thanks for letting me know. Agreed, much better solution. Done.

The official repository just released libxml2-legacy (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libxml2-legacy/) to provide libxml2.so.2.

Is it possible to switch to use that as a dependency instead, since it seems to be a more permanent fix than using a symlink to a (potentially) binary-incompatible version of the library?

username227 commented on 2025-05-02 01:24 (UTC)

@oech3, the only difference I can think of regarding the symlink is that there would be one less package installed, and one less dependency. might simplify things though. i'll consider it after plex updates again (it's been much longer than usual; looks like they completely revamped the apk on android, hope they're not going to mess with the app too much...) Main thing today was to get the program working again, and when I saw that someone had already added the package today to the AUR, I just used that.

Does anyone interested in replacing bundled Qt6 of this? It potentially reduces translative deps for old libs.

oech3 commented on 2025-05-01 22:13 (UTC)

Adding symlink $pkgdir/opt/${pkgname}/lib/libxml2.so.2 by package side should be enough (or patchelf.)

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)"

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.
