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:

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.

@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

Bobyl commented on 2022-11-20 08:31 (UTC)

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

jimbodf commented on 2022-11-18 05:30 (UTC)

@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?

ludvigHz commented on 2022-11-15 23:03 (UTC)

@Bobyl @mfcmquintela I can't reproduce this issue myself. I don't think this has anything to do with Wayland/X11 either since plex-desktop only supports X.org and as such will run on XWayland on wayland compositors.

If you can supply some logs for the crashes, I can try to look into fixing it for you. But I can't really do anything without more information.

mfcmquintela commented on 2022-11-15 22:10 (UTC)

@Bobyl same issue is present in X11. Running plex-desktop crashes (somewhat randomly) with that exact segfault, running the flatpak version behaves correctly

When trying to run plex-desktop on wayland, it crashes with a segfault.

/usr/bin/plex-desktop : line 49 :  2357 segfault (core dumped)"$BASE_DIR"/bin/Plex "$@"

Am I the only one having this issue? Note that the flatpak version of plex-desktop behaves correctly and does not crash with Wayland.

A symlink to the system libmpv with the correct version has been added in the latest release. So the application should run again.

The following change is needed

Confirm, no longer works because of mpv dependency issue
