Player Version#: 1.55.0.3278-c6164b3c

Bit of a blocking issue, clicking sign in does nothing. I’ve verified default app is firefox, and that other apps can open a link and it will open in the browser. Other links in player also don’t work, such as the ‘Get Plex Apps’ in the top right menu.

Not sure where to go from here.

After a bit of research, I think the issue is on the SteamOS side. Not something I would expect Plex to be able to fix.
