Player Version#: Latest stable PlexDesktop flatpak from flathub  
OS: Arch

When I start Plex Desktop, nothing opens. I look at my processes, nothing labeled as plex.

I run:

```auto
flatpak run tv.plex.PlexDesktop

```

This is the result I get:

```auto
/app/bin/Plex: line 48: 5 Aborted (core dumped) "$BASE_DIR"/bin/plex-bin "$@"

```

I searched online and found a few solutions. I installed flatseal and enabled these options : socket=wayland and QT\_QPA\_PLATFORM=“xcb” as environment variable. I tested every combinasion of those values (1 of each or both).  
This didn’t change anything.

I also try to update it, remove it and reinstalled it. Nothing.  
I installed it as user and as system. Same behavior.

So now I’m seeking help and also making a post so other people like me can find a potential solution.

Thanks!
