Came here to see if it was mentioned already. I’m also asking to update this runtime to a newer version.
Currently the flatpak website says that this program might be unsafe: Plex | Flathub

I didn’t see this when I made my post:
There is an open issue for it in github:
Is there a repo for the AppImage?
Is there a planning for resolving this issues?
Because of this I can´t install Plex HPTC or Plex Desktop.

Seeing as Flatpak is the most popular cross distro package manager for Linux, getting this issue solved for both Plex Desktop and Plexamp should be a priority for Devs. It doesn’t seem like a terribly complicated fix to upgrade the dependencies on an officially maintained Flatpak.

This is still an issue in 4.8.4.
I see it not an issue in Plexamp 4.8.4 but still an issue in PlexDesktop 1.79.1

I have Plexamp 4.8.4 installed without the desktop and I have several more warnings.

Hey everyone, we’re aware of the issue and working on a fix.
Unfortunately the upgrade is non-trivial due to some breakages in the newer freedesktop runtime. I’ll keep you posted with any further updates.

Will this also upgrade the mesa version Plex uses? Plex has been completely broken on the newest AMD graphics card generation for about a year and I would assume it’s because Plex uses an outdated version of mesa in its flatpak.

I’m just pointing out that this issue still occurs on Plexamp 4.9.0. I didn’t think it was fixed yet since it wasn’t mentioned in the release notes, but I figured I’d point it out before someone asked.

Is there any kid of workaround for this yet? It would appear this isn’t something that will be addressed anytime soon. I am using NUCs as cable boxes for my family. Is there something akin to installing an older Linux distro that would allow this to work? For the time being I am having to use Plex via web, but that doesn’t help when using a remote control.
If Plex isn’t going to update this anytime soon, is there any thought of maybe the open source community getting back in on this? It used to be that you could install Plex Desktop from a GitHub repo and compile on almost anything.
I don’t kow anything about your NUCs but I use Manjaro on my desktop and get the plexamp appimage from the AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plexamp-appimage
Edit - for some reason I thought this thread was just about Plexamp (as that’s the only Plex app I’ve ever used a flatpak of) - I use Plex Desktop from the AUR too.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plex-desktop
Plexamp was a community flatpak before Plex made one so it is possible. Don’t remember the dev.
They should just keep working no need to do anything. The problem is if the EOL libraries get any security vulnerabilities in the future it will not be getting any patches.
See my reply here:
There’s quite a lot of work required to get Plexamp upgraded to the latest runtime due to an issue causing crashes on startup. It’s not just a matter of bumping a number and calling it a day, sadly. I hope to have an update soon, but can’t provide a timeline sorry.
Are checks in place now to prevent issues like this in the future so that Plex can be on top of things before the libraries actually become end of life?
What about Plex Desktop? Plex Desktop doesn’t have hardware support on Flatpak, Snap, and I don’t know how that guy installs it from AUR? AUR’s version of Plex Desktop is over a year old and won’t install anymore.
For Linux desktops, there are currently two options to play Plex.
1: You can use Plex web in a browser with hardware support like Firefox.
2: You can use Plex Desktop in Flatpak, but you better have a heck of a processor because you are stuck decoding in software.
May I suggest to move a few people from the “move plex to a social platform” -team to this longstanding problem?

The newest updates fixed this issue for me and I no longer get the message about outdated runtimes.
- Plex Desktop has been fixed yesterday (GitHub - Pull request)
- Plex HTPC has been fixed a few hours ago (GitHub - Pull request)
As statet in this comment, this may also fix certain hardware acceleration (compatibility) issues.
However, PlexAmp hasn’t been fixed yet. The pull request is still marked as open (GitHub - Pull request)
