In case anyone has the same issue as me if you want to control UI scaling you can use the QT_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable. (0.75, 1.0, 1.25, etc.)

The Qt 6.7 problem is an issue where
xdg-openinherits the environment of the Plex app causingkde-opento try to load the Qt 6.6 libraries from/opt/plex-desktop/libdue to theLD_LIBRARY_PATHset inPlex.sh.This can be solved by editing the
RUNPATHof the binaries usingchrpaththen removing theLD_LIBRARY_PATHline fromPlex.sh. It turns out The main Plex library has a workingRUNPATHbut includes a bunch of automation cruft. The transcoding binary does NOT have it set, andQtWebEngineProcessneeds no changes. In/opt/plex-desktop/binrun:However, this only exposes additional issues with all of the Qt environment variables set in this script. I couldn't find a super clean way to fix this, but interestingly enough KDE uses a little utility for their AppImage deployments to deal with this exact problem:
https://invent.kde.org/brauch/appimage-exec-wrapper/
Compile it and copy the
exec.sofile into/opt/plex-desktop/libthen alterPlex.shlike this:https://gist.github.com/mrgrim/1357da402f8ceccaf8224e145fa6acc3
This could even allow using
LD_LIBRARY_PATHand not usingchrpath. The choice is yours. Usingchrpathseems cleaner but pulls in a dependency.
