Hi,

Great job man, it’s very cool initiative :smiley:

Tested with Fedora 27 on KDE :

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin “xcb” in “”.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

This package is ok with KDE ?

Thanks @peyrusse

Hey @cedvan , I use KDE myself. Which PMP version did you use?

103

Plex Media Player 2.2.1.758-5dad2d62 is available for download from https://knapsu.eu/plex/.

Hi @Knapsu

I am using Lubuntu 17.10 on my laptop and I have problems initializing it in the TV Full Screen mode. It does not respond to any button. Any thoughts about that?
I have tried 2.2.1.758-5dad2d62 and 2.2.0.754-fe7503d0 both with the same outcome.
PS: Thanks for the effort until now and best wishes for the New Year

Hi @Knapsu,

I use latest PMP :

Plex_Media_Player_2.2.1.758-5dad2d62_x86-64.AppImage

When i click on sign in, I have this problem :

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin “xcb”

106

Hum, I can sign in fullscreen mode, bug is just present on window mode

107

@maiandros thanks fort the info. I check the AppImage on Lubuntu 17.10 64-bit and confirm there is a bug with opening a web browser from within the AppImage. This happens when we click “Sign in” button in windowed mode. In fullscreen mode a different mechanism is used so it can be used as a workaround.

108

@cedvan, checked the AppImage under Fedora Workstation 27 64-bit. This is the same problem @maiandros is having. It does not appear on Fedora 24 which I use for testing. Thanks for the info.

When a fix will be ready I’ll make an announcement on the forum.

109

@Knapsu, yes same bug. I used fullscreen to workaround bug :wink:

110

Is there any way to create the AppImage binary to arm processors?

111

@NeoPhyTe-x360 currently the tools used for building AppImages are available only for Intel/AMD processor architecture. There are first tries to make them work on ARM architecture, however they are far from production ready.

Thanks, will wait then to see it in arm devices.

PD: Your PMP is working fawlessly in x64, thanks 4 your work

113

This is awesome, thank you @Knapsu. I think this was the “missing link” holding me back from moving from a mythtv backend + Kodi frontend to a full Plex setup. I already have a dedicated media server box connected to my TV, and didn’t like the responsiveness of the Roku client. Having PMP running directly on the media server is ideal, and it works flawlessly on the first try. Thanks again!

114

The latest 2.1.1 package will not start.
Plex_Media_Player_2.2.1.758-5dad2d62_x86-64.AppImage

Plex Media Player encountered a fatal error and must exit:
Failed to locate CA bundle.

FATAL main.cpp @ 263 - Unhandled FatalException: Failed ro locate CA bundle.

The previous working AppImage running on OpenSUSE Leap 42.2
Plex_Media_Player_2.2.1.703-79cdfa5c_x86-64.AppImage

115

@Knapsu Great Job! I’m running the 20171211 build on Mint (Cinnamon) 18.3 which I have setup as my Plex/NAS server. Installed flawlessly with no dependency issues at all. This allowed me to uninstall Kodi and run a pure Plex rig.

116

Thanks @dAvE157. You welcome @DPUkyle.

hi @Knapsu, excellent work. Struggling to get MCE remote working, particularly the OK and BACK buttons, haven’t got much further than that. Direction buttons are fine. Plex does not even register the remote button presses for these buttons but are fine when running ir-keytable -t. Is this image using LIRC? Can this be disabled / removed somehow to prevent interference? Could you give me some guidance on how I would do this please? I believe this is required due to the ‘kernel’ now doing some of the work of LIRC and they now conflict on ubuntu 17. cheers for any help people

118

Hi @Liamk23. I know this doesn’t answer your question and suggesting to spend money on a product isn’t cool, but if you can buy a Flirc, which just maps remote buttons to keybord keypresses, your life will be soooo much easier.

119

Thank you for the suggestion @DPUkyle - Looks like I will be getting one of those if I can’t get this working, I have progressed slightly by following the guide here https://madaboutbrighton.net/articles/2015/remote-control-media-player-without-lirc-using-ir-keymap - its long winded creating the keymap file but working so far, not the most elegant solution but progress none the less - cheers :slight_smile:

Hi all, is anybody getting a cache issue, it seems particular to certain movies but the same error always appears in the logs - I get ‘PlayerComponent.cpp @ 583 - cache: Cache is not responding - slow/stuck network connection?’ - I have increased the cache with the ‘plexmediaplayer.conf’ but this hasn’t helped. The AppImage is running on an Ubuntu machine with the server running alongside it within a docker container so wouldn’t imagine there was any networking issues??? Where is the cache located? Any suggestions anyone?? much appreciated
