Hello Plex users! Because there is no official packages of Plex Media Player for Linux desktop I have decided to create one. Instead of building multiple packages for all different packaging systems (DEB, RPM, Snap, Flatpack) and even different distribution releases (separate DEB for Ubuntu Trusty…

Is there any chance of this updating to newer version of Plex? It seems to have not updated since August.

FYI… moved my main server and clients to ubuntu 22.04 LTS and now PMP is completely broken like I posted a few months ago with Fedora 35 giving a blank screen → Plex Media Player packages for Linux - #659 by dokuro xxxx@dokuro:/data/Personal/Software/ubuntu$ ./Plex_Media_Player_2.58.1-ae73e074_x64.…

I have exactly the same problem after the update to ubuntu 22.04. I should have read your post first before upgrading Ubuntu. Unfortunately Plex-htpc also does not work and my alternative media server/player Emby theater also has problems after the update, The only players that work for me right now…

Took a peek at the plex htpc app but looked horrible on my pc monitor so just uninstalled it. Guess it’s built for TVs and not monitors. For now browser will just have to do until I find a better solution.

I experimented with Plex-htpc and I think it is already quite useable on Linux and basically replaces Plex Media Player. At least I did not miss any feature. If Plex is committed to further developing it into a stable release, and if this brings official Linux support, I think I can be happy again w…

When I looked at it I could only see what I would call the TV layout format which looked horrible on my monitor and the keyboard navigation along with mouse was not working well. It worked but was messy IMO. But to be honest I did not spend to much time beyond that initial look. Maybe I need to s…

I agree, Plex-htpc is definitely the app for consuming media on the TV with the respective navigation concept that does not require a mouse. But Plex Media Player was basically the same or very similar with respect to user interface concept. And this is exactly what I was looking for. I mean, the b…

[image] joergniemoeller: But Plex Media Player was basically the same or very similar with respect to user interface concept. Sure but you could always select to use a browser layout with PMP (upper righthand corner). Didn’t see that option with htpc when I looked at it.

You are of course right about that. However, I was already using PMP only in the TV mode (or however you call that) for watching and all management of media I did in the web browser. That is what I meant by saying it is only an Alt-Tab away. I mean, the two modes are not technically in the same prog…

Thank you so much @joergniemoeller , it works great! I had the same issue with Ubuntu 22.04 and couldn’t find a fix for the last few days. I never used HTPC before but it’s perfect for my needs, even better than PMP actually. Director and film rating appear on the movie page, the UI is very nice and …

On the Plex HTPC main thread, it was teased that “Plex” (on windows called “Plex for Windows”) will come to Linux in the near future…
