So, the player isn't loading at all. The window opens, it shows the big PLEX MEDIA PLAYER logo for a second, and then I just get a window with the spinning wheel after launching, and I can leave it sit for 20 minutes and it never loads.

Launching from a terminal provides no help, I just get:

matt-archlinux% plexmediaplayer
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

Screen goes black on a regular interval (~20 mins?). Audio continues. Moving mouse brings the screen back. Tried setting Screensaver to None in PMP settings and disabling all power save settings in sys. No luck. Doesn't happen on browser version, though browser version has other issues.

Any advice to keep the screen from going off? The package works great otherwise--way better than browser version.

@ombre Happy to help. Thanks for maintaining the package.

@jmonger Sure, and I've opened a pull request against their upstream, but it's worth mentioning that they've more or less moved on from this product and it's doubtful they'll take it up. Perhaps if folks head to their repo and vote up the change it could get some attention.

I'm just an end user of the package, however, it seems like Plex should be addressing this sooner rather than later. I'd prefer to stick with the official repo rather than a fork.

Thx @Palshife, I tested your Code and it works, I wait for Asators Feedback and will then update the Package. Thank you very much for your patch

I could probably use a code review here, but I believe I've got it. My testing shows a return of normal function on mpv 0.33, while also still working correctly on 0.32 for those that have downgraded. Feel free to test and incorporate the patch.

2020-11-27 07:54:31 [ WARN ] PlayerComponent.cpp @ 602 - main: The opengl_cb API is not supported anymore.

This is almost certainly the culprit from the mpv 0.33 release notes: "Removed: client API: deactivate the opengl_cb API". This is the API that plex-media-player uses to draw mpv's player. It will need to be converted to use libmpv instead, otherwise plex-media-player will have to be built against 0.32 or lower.

I may take a crack at this on my fork. Will update when I have something.

Confirmed, downgrading MPV a version below works perfectly!

Thanks, @hps.

amelia commented on 2020-11-25 21:07 (UTC)

can confirm downgrading mpv does fix it
