i’ve had the above and i honestly don’t remember what i did to fix it. that said what i found for appimages it is just easier to do a thorough search for all it’s parts remove them, delete the appimage, and download a fresh copy. i’d use just about anything but the built-in search that comes with your distribution. i’m using catfish myself.
fyi,
your post should of been a new thread.
Oh really? I read some of the posts and it appeared to be people with random issues. Sorry.
Anyway, the problem is moot. It was a test system I had installed to and I decided to continue on my HTPC so I installed the same Lubuntu and downloaded the same file, did everything the same, but this time, I could not get the AppImage to even launch. I tried everything I could think of, deleted and downloaded it again many times. Could not make it launch at all. Strange. Finally decided to try the FlatPak thing and it’s finally working.
Will say that I like the features in this Plex edition although it is not as snappy on the same machine with Lubuntu as OpenPHT was on Windows 10. This is the hardware I’m using:
Anyway, thanks.
I’ve just tried the AppImage on my Arch install :
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have a Intel IGP.
I thought VDPAU was disabled !
Does flatpak installs auto update for nightlies?
Is there a way to get the TV mode to function offline? I’m on Mint 18.3 and I’m trying to get the player to function offline, and it will with the non-tv mode, but it seems like tv mode still requires an internet connection. Am I setting it up incorrectly? Is there something I’m missing?
I’m getting the following error on Ubuntu 18.10
/tmp/.mount_Plex_M90dNhJ/usr/bin/plexmediaplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so.0: undefined symbol: xcb_dri3_buffers_from_pixmap
Anybody got any ideas? I’ve tried back versions to 2.26 with no luck.
Cheers

See my post above.
i’m still having this issues, i’m runing 18.04 Ubuntu with unity desktop, is this the issue?
Blockquote
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”?
run it from command line, I’m sure you will see the above error. Run the above command in the directory PMP app image is stored and it should run, or at least give you a reason why it isn’t starting
I found a way around this btw… Looks like the AppImage is looking for the SSL CA bundle to be at: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, but opensuse likes to put it at /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem
A quick:
sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
Will let the AppImage to load up. Unfortunately if the ca-certificates packages get updated, you’ll have to recreate the symlink.
I still wish their was a 32-bit version.
You could probably find a copy of Plex Home Theater that’ll work well on an older system - I actually preferred it, had a nice on-screen clock displaying current time and time for program to end and much nicer (via skins) flexibility on settings.
I’m using 2.20 on Mint 19.1…
Not sure - I use 1. Mouse gesture mapped to command “/mnt/T3/Packages/Plex_Media_Player_2.20.0.909-46413dd1_x64.AppImage” %U
Also keyboard shortcut with the same command…
I am so lazy to aim that silly little arrow or go into menu’s and click like a troglodyte.
Tried to install ubuntu 18.04 fresh to my NUC5PPYH and loaded the appimage file from above and plex player (yes, I ticked the execute option in properties) will not start, tried all versions and nothing. I had it working with an older version: 2:16 I think, and thought to be a good idea to update plex. I also deleted that old version prior to updating (dumb user here) and boy was all that a bad idea.
After a few days, throwed the towell and resorted to install windows (arggh)>
again - no version past 2.20 works on my Linux Mint 19.1 so I wouldn’t update - just stick with appimage so you can revert and open an old one (but backup the config each time, sometimes a new version messes it up and it can’t go back - can’t remember which app did that to me now).
Is there someone maintaining an archive somewhere of earlier versions? I stupidly deleted mine!
You should really have Timeshift set up… anyway, here’s the one I’m using right now; I threw a copy in Dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/date5wtir0i0dju/Plex_Media_Player_2.20.0.909-46413dd1_x64.AppImage?dl=0
Having no issues at all running latest appimage version 2.30.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with kernel 4.15
Working AppImage might depend on LTSEnablementStack.
The 18.04.2 and newer point releases will ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default for the desktop.
So doesn’t work.
Maybe (most likely) an older installation.
At least for me, the AppImage worked until I installed the LTS Enablement Stack five days ago.
