Plex Media Player packages for Linux

Does that player supports CEC module installed in NUC ? as the native PMP distributed by Plex does !
I would like to install my NUC with Linux and put on it that PMP version that is V2 (Plex has still not released V2 for embedded platforms) but I need to be sure CEC control will work on it so I can continue to use my TV remote to control it :wink:

Thanks

Any chance on getting the latest version done with Live TV support? Very glad PMP supports live TV! They haven’t updated the embedded version and I don’t have any Windows or Mac computers so have been using the appimage in Linux which has been working flawless!

Hi. Yes, CEC support is enabled, however as I don’t use a remote I can’t test it myself.

Hi @Knapsu, just a little message to THANK YOU, as I watch a lot of 4K x265 encoded media, the webApp always requires the server to transcode it.

Using your player allows me to direct play the media :love: so a big big thanks to you :smiley:

You welcome @rmasclef

Plex Media Player 2.4.1.787-54a020cd is available for download from https://knapsu.eu/plex/.

With this release I’ve eliminated few bugs that affected desktop menu integration.
Starting from today branch tv2 will be used for daily builds.

@Knapsu Thank you!

Would it be possible to maybe convert or append the timestamp of the build to the file &| link name?

Currently: Plex_Media_Player_2.4.1.787-54a020cd_x86-64.AppImage

It’s harder to recognize and remember the versions & hashes at a glance to tell whether the build is newer or not.

It could be : Plex_Media_Player_2.4.1.787-2018-2-11-5_00_x86-64.AppImage or something similar.

If it’s tricky or not possible to do for the file name itself, just the site could also display the timestamp on the side sort of like this (but nicer):

@Knapsu thanks! Any chance Travis could be convinced to spit out Raspberry Pi compatible ARM builds?

No one has a clue to the error I am getting? “Failed to locate CA bundle.”
Tried the latest two release builds just now
Plex_Media_Player_2.4.1.787-54a020cd_x86-64.AppImage
Plex_Media_Player_2.3.0.774-ef2108c2_x86-64.AppImage

Still works on the older release
Plex_Media_Player_2.1.1.703-79cdfa5c_x86-64.AppImage

Even tried to delete configuration under ~/.local/share/plexmediaplayer.

@DJViking I have an idea. Send you a private message. We will continue there.

@stedaniels it is not possible at the moment. AppImages are currently x86 and x86-64 only.

@Xen0sys the release builds matches exactly the official name and version made by Plex. I do not intend to modify it in any way.

However I like the idea of adding a publication date next to the download link. This way everyone will know how much official releases are behind the daily releases on the bottom of the page. Daily builds have a timestamp in the name.

Thanks to @Knapsu my problem was solved.
Running /usr/sbin/update-ca-certificates from package ca-certificates created the certificate file necessary for starting PMP.
Running on OpenSUSE Leap 42.3

@Xen0sys the build dates will show up as a tooltip when mouse cursor hovers over DOWNLOAD link.

Awesome, thanks.

thank you for the player,i use kde neon and the system keeps longing off while i am watching a movie from your player

@ikariwths you should check you power management/screen settings as probably the screen lock is starting because of mouse/keyboard inactivity.

Knapsu,
I found an odd one. I haven’t seen cert errors in a while.
