well I upgraded on my end using Cinnamon before I pushed and it seemed to work just fine. Hopefully others will have the same experience.

@username227, Thanks for responding so quickly! Yes, I've tested it and have been using the app for the last two days with no issues so far. I expect the patch won't be an issue in non-KDE desktop environments, but confirmation from a few more users couldn't hurt.

@el-gazzle, this is great work. I cannot verify that it solves the KDE problem since I don't use it but I assume that you have tested it? thanks so much!

@username227

I'm not familiar enough with the AUR ecosystem to provide a proper patch, so here's a gist with a patch that you should be able to git apply over your latest master branch:

https://gist.github.com/gmahomarf/81a373cad91a53b3a06e664604c98018

The patch includes @mrgrim's (thanks!) recommendation of using exec.so and the modified Plex.sh file. I have tested this on KDE. I can confirm that without the patch I have the same issue reported by others where login does not work. With the patch, I have managed to log in and watch videos, both remotely and after downloading them.

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.
