I just found out there’s Plexamp for Linux and downloaded the flatpak and installed it and it just doesn’t do anything, it’s just an icon with a yellow marking and Plasma warning it’s running in the background.  
Edit: Plexamp for Linux does not work at all. The Flatpak just fails as described previously:

Using the Appimage produces a login window that crashes the application the moment that you authenticate with your Plex account details:

Also, Plexamp uses org.freedesktop.Platform 21.08.  
Runtime org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default branch 21.08 is end-of-life.
