Hello
I installed plex from flathub. I open it, and click on login. Nothing happens.
I click multiple time on login button and then get the message: “Plex is down for maintenance. Don’t worry, it will be back soon.”
Then I can click below the message on status.plex.tv.
So I think, ok I only have chromium installed, lets install firefox and see if it works. So I install firefox and I reboot the system and get the still the same result.
Ok maybe plex needs chromium or firefox from flathub. So I install chromium & firefox with flatpak from flathub. I reboot the system and get the same result.
Ok so maybe because im on i3, probably needs gnome to work. So I install a whole desktop environment so that I can login. I install gnome, reboot and still get the same result.
Maybe plex doesnt like xorg, so I start gnome with wayland. Reboot the system and still get the same result.
So I try the snap package of plex instead of flatpak, maybe that’s gonna work. Still the result with snap.
So I setup a ubuntu VM to test if it is going to work there with plex flatpak.
Boom it works on ubuntu VM. It opens chromium and I can login over chromium and plex flatpak now is logged in. Everything works on the VM.
Can somebody help me?

######Edit Solved######
I had to install a whole ■■■■■■■ desktop environment so that the ■■■■■■ flatpak passes the url to my browser. After login worked, I deinstalled the desktop environment. I choosed KDE as desktop environment. I really dislike flatpak and wish it was never developed. Same ■■■■ as appimage and snap. This had nothing to do with plex but instead was caused because of flatpak. I really wish plex would do it like with plexamp where you can choose direct login or using the browser or like tv apps using authenticating code.
