Great question! As far as I can tell the Vero 4k+ is an (amlogic) ARM-based soc. This AppImage is not intended to be used on ARM Hardware. Even if it would open, PMP would not really work. Hardware Decoding wouldn’t work. mpv does not support the VPU in the armlogic cpu, HDR output is not supported - even if the Vero supports it and much more. 
Thanks for the answer: I won’t try to replace Kodi with PMP then.

For Intel this does not seem to work. Installed various vdpau packages (including va_gl and info) however it gives the error in Ubuntu 18.04:
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The file seems to be also missing in:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/
It opens using the following:

However it feels like acceleration is not used due to still high CPU load and choppy screens.
Create a symlink from
/etc/ssl/cert.pem
to CA bundle installed on your system.
On mine:
# ln -s /var/lib/ca-certificates/ca-bundle.pem /etc/ssl/cert.pem
You can also grab it from curl site. Place it anywhere on your system and create symlink from one of the above locations to the file you downloaded.
Any chance sync will be supported. My biggest issue with web player is I’m unable to sync anything in advance to watch without constant buffering later. Would be enormously helpful for me.
@daqqad That’s a feature request for PMP upstream, not these unofficial Linux builds.
I wouldn’t hold my breath on that, though. Plex haven’t expressed any intention of supporting sync on non-mobile devices. Even the Android app only supports sync on phone/tablet, and not on Android TV devices.

Is there any other solution to slow connections on the server side now that cloud sync is also dead?
Hi @Knapsu and all!!
I would like to thank you for all the work you’ve done to the Linux version of PMP, and the latest beta build finally runs on Live TV for myself and my remote users without crashing out after what either was a transcode/player issue or a random amount of time.
PMP here is used a lot across 7 Linux PC’s, 7 Android Devices, 2 Roku and a Samsung TV… Oh sorry 3 Xbox Ones!!, but I use it a lot on my Network and have found no issues with the last 2 beta updates.

@Knapsu Hey thanks for your work on this, just found it via duckduckgo search, solves the Linux/plex problem. Great work and a useful tool!

error in ubuntu 18 (popos), seems same error as this app had:
Is there any problems for Ubuntu 18.4?
I got the appimage installed but when trying to run the program nothing happens…
Make sure it’s marked executable (chmod +x).
Or right click it, go to properties and run as executable… If you’re trying to run in a GUI!
Still no issues here on Ubuntu MATE Edition on my laptop and 3 remote users that run the same system!

The applimage file is marked as executable, but when i search up “plex media player” and try to either run it or right click to show details. Nothing happens… Is there a log i can check to see why it don’t “start”?

Knapsu, great work. Thank you very much. Here is an easy one to make my life complete: Any way to change the player name so when I control from plex-remote on my mobile, I can have a friendlier name? Found a config file, but no player name entry.
I had the following problem on Ubuntu 18.04: the PMP AppImage didn’t start any more - the integration stuff works, but no player window came up.
Before this, I had just installed the new kernel and xorg server (https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/02/ubuntu-18-04-2-lts-released). Removing xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 and replacing it with the plain xorg package fixed it.
Can’t start any version older than Plex_Media_Player_2.24.0.924-63fcaa8e_x64.AppImage on Intel integrated card with Antergos KDE
./Plex_Media_Player_2.25.0.940-485e2ea4_x64.AppImage

Hi All,
Latest beta release works great on Ubuntu 18.04 MATE Edition, but on my Girlfriends Ubuntu 18.04LTS Laptop it fails to start in GNOME desktop, so I’m planning on installing MATE Edition on her Laptop too.
My other users of PMS who run Ubuntu 18.04 MATE Edition have had no issues since the Player update on Live TV, so they’re happy too!!
Dave
Do you have any buffering issues with live tv? Sometimes I get a micro buffer 2 or 3 times every 30 seconds when starting a live tv stream then it seems to be ok.
Only happens with PMP every other player (web, mobile) has no issues
Hello.
I am using Lubuntu 18.10 and this seems to work very nicely. Thank you, but I think I may be doing something not quite right. I downloaded the AppImage and opened the properties and “Made Executable” and this is how I launched it. However, each time I launch it, I get a message like:
“Would you like to integrate /home/user/Desktop/Plex_Media_Player_2.27.0.949-542ba3ed_x64.AppImage with your system? This will add it to your applications menu and install icons. If you don’t do this, you can still launch the application by double-clicking the AppImage.”
I select “Yes”, but I have to do this every time I launch it and it doesn’t add anything to my menu.
What am I doing wrong?
