I’m seeing this in the logs of my server

> Apr 18, 2022 19:34:08.330 [0x7f9e8f0f1b38] ERROR - Unable to find client profile for device; platform=Linux, platformVersion=5.16.15-76051615-generic, device=Linux, model=

I can’t see anything within the client to change this and the server is on the latest public version. I’m on PopOS 22.04 beta so if it’s a beta issue then no worries 🙂

Hi - I had the same problem - for some reason installing the Flatpak version of plexamp fixed it for me - worth a try

Thanks, the Flatpak version does work. I had avoided it as it says:

Yeah - I have no I idea why that works and not the official one - I just tried it out of frustration of not getting any help from here and somehow it worked!

Its a shame that Plex won’t fix the official app!

I’m on a totally differnent distro (EndeavourOS) so its not even a distro issue
