Hi,

I wanted to listen my `Plex` music on `Linux` and didn’t find any way to use multimedia key.  
So I created a music player with full desktop integration, using [nuvolaplayer](https://tiliado.eu/nuvolaplayer/ "nuvolaplayer").

I tested it under Ubuntu 15.04 with standard Plex music. I don’t have a premium account so it will probably **does not** work with `premium Plex music library`, sorry.

To install the application simply follow `nuvolaplayer` beta build [installation instructions](https://tiliado.eu/nuvolaplayer/ "installation instructions").

I hope you will enjoy this player as much as I enjoy it every day. Don’t hesitate to comment for any help/question.

Hi,

I am also having the same issue of the player getting stuck at the Plex splash screen. Have tried installing both from .deb and git.
