@jianglai yeah I managed to recompile ffmpeg6.1 after updating the deps it was complaining about... Super annoying but I know what to do now if necessary. Re: pat-aur, I couldn't get it working... It's fine tho. Lol

@shiggitay you will have to delete ffmpeg6.1 and install it again to pin to newer versions of the libraries. See comments in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ffmpeg6.1. The author also suggested using pat-aur.

Hey so I had a system update and now Plex-Desktop is broken. When I run "yay -S plex-desktop" this is what I get:

I've installed ffmpeg7.1 via ffmpeg-amd-full and ffmpeg-obs in an attempt to satisfy the ffmpeg dependency, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

@mrgrim Thank you, this immediately solved the issue!

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.

@username227 no, it doesn't solve the issue

@skjnldsv, does installing webkit2gtk solve your issue, by any chance?

GUI doesn't open for me: In the plex log: ERROR - Fatal error: qrc:/views/WebWindow.qml: module "gtk2" is not installed

I am also having this Qt_6.7 not found error when trying to sign in, but instead of talking about kde-open, mine says 'qutebrowser: Fatal Error!', which is the web browser I use. I'm also using i3 and X11 and have the latest qt6 version.

Edit: I found a workaround for now: I changed my xdg default web browser to firefox to sign in, then switching it back after signing in.

You can run xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler to see your current default, then run xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox.desktop, and try to sign in again.
