The Qt 6.7 problem is an issue where xdg-open inherits the environment of the Plex app causing kde-open to try to load the Qt 6.6 libraries from /opt/plex-desktop/lib due to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in Plex.sh.

This can be solved by editing the RUNPATH of the binaries using chrpath then removing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH line from Plex.sh. It turns out The main Plex library has a working RUNPATH but includes a bunch of automation cruft. The transcoding binary does NOT have it set, and QtWebEngineProcess needs no changes. In /opt/plex-desktop/bin run:

chrpath -r '$ORIGIN/../lib' Plex
chrpath -r '$ORIGIN/../lib' Plex\ Transcoder

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:

Compile it and copy the exec.so file into /opt/plex-desktop/lib then alter Plex.sh like this:

This could even allow using LD_LIBRARY_PATH and not using chrpath. The choice is yours. Using chrpath seems cleaner but pulls in a dependency.

Anyone know how fix the missing icon?

@jianglai I'm getting the same error. It looks to me like the installer is broken - all of the parts are in the package I downloaded from git, it's just not putting the right bits in the right places, and I'm not smart enough to sort out how to fix it.

Anyone else getting the following error?

/opt/plex-desktop/bin/Plex: error while loading shared libraries: libswresample.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It appears that the installed version is now libswresample.so.5

$ ls /usr/lib/libswresample*
/usr/lib/libswresample.so  /usr/lib/libswresample.so.5  /usr/lib/libswresample.so.5.3.100

Has anyone successfully replaced the included libmpv with a newer version?

@username227 noted. Thank you.

Yes, there is this ongoing issue. It's an ffmpeg issue, not a plex-desktop issue.

@jianglai yeah I managed to recompile ffmpeg6.1 after updating the deps it was complaining about... Super annoying but I know what to do now if necessary. Re: pat-aur, I couldn't get it working... It's fine tho. Lol
