Server Version#:1.30.2 (windows)  
Player Version#: 1.62.2 (Linux Manjaro, via snap)

When opening Plex the playback controls don’t work. Clicking an item in the library does restor them. Been happening for months. Updates haven’t resolved. I installed via snap.

In the image you can see a loader in the bottom controls area. This appears when minimizing media or when starting up Plex.
