@moita Yeah, did that... as shown in the diff I linked.

Kage-Yami, I just changed the depends line, added the 3 lines after build() and changed the 2 cmake lines, everything is working here. The PKGBUILD that I used: https://pastebin.com/rivmwNWt

So I've gotten this to build with QT 5.9.5 (thanks to @cian1500ww).

However, whenever I try to play a video, I get a black screen with perfect audio and UI. Would anyone have any ideas? (Note that it's not the previous "ghosting" issue present with new versions of QT.)

EDIT: Dead link to diff removed.

Did you not test the changes before pushing again? :\

Here's a patch: https://paste.xinu.at/mNtka/plain

In future, please change the pkgrel to 1 on new releases: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#pkgrel

Looks like a couple lines got mixed up:

git diff 829f3d78357faf632794fc787529398bd2280f71..
...
     mkdir -p build/dependencies
-    for f in "buildid-${_web_buildid}.cmake"; do
+    for f in "web-client-desktop-${_web_buildid}-${_web_desktop_ver}.tar.xz"{,.sha1} "web-client-tv-${_web_buildid}-${_web_tv_ver}.tar.xz"{,.sha1}; do
         ln -sf "${srcdir}/${f}" "build/dependencies/${f}"
     done
-    for f in "web-client-desktop-${_web_buildid}-${_web_desktop_ver}.tar.xz"{,.sha1} "web-client-tv-${_web_buildid}-${_web_tv_ver}.tar.xz"{,.sha1}; do
+    for f in "web-client-desktop-${_web_buildid}-${_web_desktop_ver}.tar.xz"{,.sha1} ; do
         target="${f/-${_web_buildid}-/-}"
...

On Qt 5.14.1-1, PMP 2.50.0-3 is still not working. Building qt5-595 from cian1500ww and applying the PKGBUILD changes continues to work as before. Would it be possible to adopt this temporary solution? I'm not confident that this issue is a top priority for Plex, my bet is that it will take some months to get fixed. There's the problem of the build time of qt5-595 packages but that's a one time annoyance vs having to edit PKGBUILD for every update.

clidx, see this comment which I just pinned.

clidx commented on 2020-02-07 19:25 (UTC)

I have the same issue as @chamber, @guitaristtom and @aonsao with no video output. Downgrading qt5 packages to 5.13.1 breaks my Plasma install... so guess I'll just wait for it to be fixed.

This package was in a working state, and you pushed updates with no idea if they work? Plex Media Player has a desktop and a TV mode. Please revert these changes and be more cautious in the future. Please make sure the package works for you before pushing changes.

Hi Everyone, I took over Maintaining this Package and just updated it to the newest Version. I'm not quite sure about how everything works but try to shed light on it ;) I couldn't find any references to web-client-tv in the upstream repo, do we even need this? Also do I have the same Issues as @guitaristtom @aonsao and @chamber reported, I will try to figure out why, but any hints would be appreciated. (just found @boennhoff's commnent and can confirm that downgrading to qt5.13.2 does fix this issue)
