Recompiling/Reinstalling was possible using the patched patch from @Yardanico (o_O). And because the curent PKGBUILD does not compile anymore I flagged the package outdated.

BUT problem described by @hps remains: This plex player version seems to be broken, suspectingly because of QT 5.14. I created a bug report upstream: https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player/issues/931

Trouble here also... 2.47.0-1 was working, then stopped working with the same symptoms described by @hps, on two computers.

Recompiling/Rebuilding the package failed then as described below. I am trying the patch from @Yardanico now...

Is a problem like that enough to "outdate" the package, to obviously flag it as being bad? Because actually it's not outdated.

It won't even install for me. Same issue with regular & git choice. I'm getting:

Cloning into 'plex-media-player'...
done.
==> Starting prepare()...
error: corrupt patch at line 15
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
Error making: plex-media-player-git

@hps I'm having the same problem too.

@Yardanico Did you paste the patch from a terminal? There seems to be a lot of extra trailing whitespace that make the patch fail. Manually removing all trailing spaces makes it apply fine.

Does anyone else have a problem with the UI since QT 5.14? For me, UI elements are not cleared from screen. I need to switch between windowed and fullscreen for them to clear. (I.e. screen is a gray gradient when starting to playing a video and seek bar remains and covers screen until manually cleared)

@localh0st I'm really sorry, didn't do "never" in time options of the paste, fixed now!

@Yardanico I am unable to find the files for "lol.patch"

Temporary fix (patch and modified PKGBUILD), not sure if this is the best way, but it compiles:

rm PKGBUILD
curl https://paste.debian.net/download/1122667 > PKGBUILD
curl https://paste.debian.net/download/1122742 > lol.patch
makepkg -si

Broken build here with same error as @Roken said
