Hey @Daimyo. Instead of doing manual Flatpak builds I tried to do some automation and use Flathub for publishing however I find it painful to script nicely without Plex Team and Flathub Team involved. With my limited time I can spare on this I’m giving up automation for now and will be doing manual packs when possible. You can grab 2.34.0 release now. Excuse me for the delay.
Thanks for the hard work! I am having a problem though where blocks of the screen are being drawn for the menu system [Plex Media Player packages for Linux]. I am running it on Pops OS 18.04 on a Razer Blade Stealth 2017 with Intel Graphics only. Everything is up-to-date but not sure what could be causing this.
Hi, last week I installed the Flatpack via Crostini on my Chromebook. Everything worked but the performance was quite horrible. Crostini didn´t have hardware acceleration but since the last Chrome 76 update it does.
So I updated to Chrome 76 and enabled hardware acceleration, but now Plex won´t open. It just keeps on loading in the taskbar.

I wanted to repurpose a netbook (atom processor) with linux and wonder if pmp can run on it? Currently using Mint 19.1 xfce 64bit and it opens and autocloses after a few seconds. Same occurs with flatpack install.

Hi Knapsu, loving your work. I have spotted a small bug. When a manual server is configured(TV Mode >> Settings >> Manual Server), PMP Linux is not behaving in the same way as PMP Windows when working offline. It continually tries to look for plex.tv despite the local server being available and prevents functionality of the player. Best regards, Silver
Working beautifully via Flatpack on Zorin 15 Ultimate. Thanks for your hard work. 
biiig long thread so the answer might already be in here… apologies if so.
I’m just testing this out for now since i’m getting errors on playback when using the chrome web viewer.
First question, why does it look so scaled up?
We’re using a linux box plugged into a TV via HDMI.
(edit: this is using the latest appimage. i tried installing the proper thing, it installed, but now i can’t find any way to open that! doh!)
Thanks!
(edit again: have found the ‘tv’ button, but the icons are still huuuuuuge. It feels like I’m using the visually impaired version 
)
Just installed on Debian testing & KDE Plasma and it works like a charm. Great job! THX for your devoted work.
hi guys,
I got my brand new TVS-682 but unfortunately it still runs HD station 3.2.10. QTS finally got updated today to 4.3.6.
I have my PMS installed and all my 8TB of movies transferred and scanned. Problem now ist the PHT of course.
Can anybody of you point me to a PMP version that will work on the above mentioned HD station and QTS?
Thank you all so much in advance. I really don’t want to go to KODI 
Cheers
HeyHoh
Lastest AppImage (2.37.2.996-bea4f9ca_x64) doesn’t work on CentOS 7 (7.6.1810 x86_64)
this is the error output:
/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found
/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found
/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found
/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found
but the flatpack package works great!
I can’t thank you enough, really thank you very much, it’s a really great job
I found a problem using the same platform described in my last post.
flatpak has problems with the nvidia driver, it doesn’t work if you are using a nvidia video card.
So, now that Plex is foolishly EOLing PMP, what’s left for native Plex on Linux? I’m sure we will be able to continue to use the PMP Linux builds we have for awhile, but eventually they will become incompatible with newer versions of the server. I guess that’s the end of the dream for Linux/HTPC power users.
this is another plex decision that is crappy

We didn’t do a good job supporting PMP on Linux. DIY helped some users but a consolidated distributable like Knapsu’s helped even more. We’d like to follow his example with Plex for Linux.

Please do. There are a lot of users out here.
No offense, but I’m not holding my breath. Plex seems to be all lip service with pretty much everything they do. 3 + years since DVR has been released and still doesn’t do basic functions as time shifting etc…, A while back they sent an e-mail with the new chromecast update staying live TV is in the works and still can’t, They release “uno” which is supposed to be unified between all devices and look the same yet PMP doesn’t even have grid guide yet the Roku does…
getting pretty sickening checking the forums all the time holding my breath for an update that will actually fix the issues users want to see.
I hope Plex unifies the apps like Emby does where pretty much everything looks the same no matter what device you are on. Also a big feature I see on emby vs. plex is being able to manage the entire server from the app. In emby you can create/refresh libraries, restart server, etc… all from the app.
Pray some day Plex will redeem themselves as they have to have lost a lot of customers over this headache over the last few years!
Hi @Knapsu,
Thanks for your great effort for this. It works well mostly.
But I encounter an issue in Intel Gemini lake platform. I try the version from 2.34 ~ 2.39, all have same issue.
The whole screen will refresh very often while open pmp in fullscreen tv mode. It will impact the viewing experience.
I cannot find others who meet the issue, and I cannot identify what’s wrong in my device.
Do anyone have idea about this ?
Thanks a lot.
That will be great that Plex can officially support PMP for Linux.
Thanks.
Just to be clear, it won’t be PMP but Plex for Linux. See: https://www.plex.tv/blog/desktop-af/
Thanks for clarify! Plex for Linux … wish it can be ready soon !
