Video works now, unfortunately subtitles are broken for me in the Desktop layout (only). Subtitles are set to none, but they display in some language (that I don't speak) and it won't let me change to any language. Error: "There was a problem selecting this stream". Also the selected Layout doesn't stick, it always opens in Fullscreen TV. Guess I'll have to use the AppImage for a while longer.

Wow, finally an accepted workaround! Works well: thanks @Palshife!

For some other reason, native plexmediaplayer installations stopped outputting any audio (despite the video running smoothly) and spotify working next to it. There is not even an Plex Audio Output shown in the Pulse Audio Control, like if it doesn't support audio at all. Maybe an updated audio related package? Facts: No error output on console, the AppImage variant outputs audio correctly!

FWIW: I also encountered a problem with my qt5-595 installation after updating re2 lately. The ABI changed so the webengine package needed a rebuilt, and it took me some time to find out. Starting plexmediaplayer always moaned about not finding libre2.so.0

I seem to attract bugs lately m(

Thanks a lot @Palshife Patch works very well - now we can use plex-media-player again without any workarounds

Thanks @Palshife your workaround seems to work and we implemented a second patch

Disabling the qt viz display compositor helped fixing the problem on my machine! Seems like a reasonable workaround. Let's get this merged.

I have a possible workaround for the Qt 5.14.1 "no video" issue that I could use some help testing. See the patch here: https://github.com/mhitchens/plex-media-player/commit/f3cf02d99b3f3ded23639bd5bede0649cca3a03d

The "--disable-viz-display-compositor" Qt flag appears to restore the previous way the compositor threading worked. I'm very happy to be back to a system without a held-back Qt, so I'm hoping this helps others.

While this playback issue exists, I found an alternative to the AUR version of PMP: https://knapsu.eu/plex/

The easiest solution right now is to just use the AppImage https://knapsu.eu/plex/

@polyzen: Yes, that's true. I mentioned that further down in the comments. The problem is

  1. That downgrading is a temporary solution, on one PC I already stumbled over problems with the downgrade, because another package demands QT-5.14
  2. That plex officially only supports QT-5.9...

In my eyes this package is broken as long as one needs to come here and look for workarounds to get the plex player running.

Just thought about if there shouldn't be a 'broken' flag for AUR packages? To indicate a defect state, 'out-of-date' seems to be very specific. Does anyone know about an official statement to such a request?

@polyzen Thank you for that info. I can confirm PMP working beautifully with QT 5.13.2.
