Whoever got this working today, you have my unndying gratitude. Now i can get rid of my only flatpak. :-) Out of curiosity, how did you do it?

Tried to build the package myself with the snap for 1.92.1.

But its missing a ton of libraries it expects in /usr/lib/plex-desktop. The only provider of libavformat.so.59 was plex-media-server from my own package builds. Which when extracted from its ZST and LD_LIBRARY_PATHed causes it to throw "No version available" errors for other libraries.

Can probably get it going with a bunch of hacking about but its frustrating for sure.

Running flatpak in a temporary environment solved my playback issues with Plex. Disappointing it cant be a normal package.

@LitusMike2 This package is unmaintained. I made it orphaned now to reflect this. I suggest you use the flatpak now that it's officially supported.

/usr/bin/plex-desktop: line 49: 1060307 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$BASE_DIR"/bin/Plex "$@"

whats going on? now it's just segfaulting on startup.

Now we should go with plex-HTPC Flatpak I believe.

@ludvigHz yes I was referring to the snap package. Thanx for the guidance I'll check the plex forum

I do not have any sound anymore. does anyone else have this issue?

@vagelis I hope you are not referring to the snap package? As that has nothing to do with this AUR package. Issues with official packages should be reported directly to plex (via their forums f.ex.)

If you are referring to this package, then any audio issues you have are dependent on your system configuration and audio setup. Volume control in the plex app works just fine for supported audio interfaces.

vagelis commented on 2023-01-16 14:05 (UTC)

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For anyone wondering why this is out of date.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)
