@m1k.cloud not sure what the issue is, this is a pretty fresh installation. I’ll double check permissions on that folder. I was able to run this as non-root by using the folllowing command, found from a thread experiencing a similar issue:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE=Material /usr/bin/Plex

Hi @FroZebra, i double checked and there is nothing in the pkgbuild requiring root to run this package, verify if you maybe have some permission issues in ~/.local ~/.cache related to to a previous run with root that cloud cause the failure.

@mk1.cloud is there a way to make this not require sudo to run? I'm getting an invalid pointer error running as user, works perfectly as root.

thanks for reporting

looks like plex did some changes on their side, the artifacts.plex.tv now returns 403

tried to check if they changed the structure but could not find anything publicly available

i asked about it on the forums https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-htpc-artifact-download-for-linux-now-returns-403/936974

if interested please comment there too as it seems to me they pretty much abandoned plex-htpc, which is a shame if confirmed

The PKBUILD can't download tar.bz2. Could you fix it please?
