Is there some sort of system log from the AppImage which might tell us why it’s not starting? Maybe attempting to start mpd manually from Terminal would give hints as well.
Hi Elan. I wasn’t able to get it working on RedHat. I switched to Ubuntu and it works flawlessly.
Huh, interesting. Without further details, not sure why that would be…AppImages are supposed to be universal…

Will be fixed in the next version.
This still happens to me with 1.0.3 on Windows 10 Enterprise 1703 when playing from my Plex Cloud Server. (Could be a PCS issue, of course.)

Can haz server.log?
Can do!
I have this same issue, on Windows 10.0.15063 I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have wiped out the folders left behind with uninstall. I have attached my logs. My temp folder is set normally for windows. I have tired 3 different versions. 1.0 1.02 and 1.04. Can view just fine when it goes to play just sits there. The first time I installed after I found it on 1.0 it worked one time. After that it stopped. I can find anything in this set of posts that match my result. I find people with the exact same issue. On the same network on my Mac it works fine. I would love for this to work. It is the perfect minimalist player for the computer at work.

Thanks! It sort of looks like MPD is crashing for some reason:

You could try to run mpd.exe from a CMD window and see if it spits out any useful information.
Found it. /user/<>/Appdata/Local/Programs/plexamp/resources/helpers
When i run it at the command line I get exception: no configuration file found.
the configuration file is in the folder with the exec.

however Plexamp still plays nothing.
I See the error in the log.log about the .mp3 codec
Mar 07 08:06:02.718: ffmpeg: codec ‘mp3’
Mar 07 08:06:02.718: ffmpeg: Unsupported audio codec
I have stopped the program. Deleted the files in the C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Plexamp\Plexamp\Codecs folder for the
\6bd6751-1276-windows-i386 folder. when the program is restarted the folder is recreated and .dll repopulated. it produces the same error.
I am able to use it as a remote control to play music with Plex Media Player. plays fine. Visualizer isn’t keeping up. Then I wouldn’t expect it to with a remote sampling of the stat of the song on the player actually doing the work.
Hopefully what I am identifying is helpful. I know this is not ready for prime-time. I also know the graphic doesn’t match the song, that is not your fault.
Additional note: I found that the Plex Media Player is also using a local codec d file for MP3 playing. So I tried to copy the one that was working from the file that Plex Media Player had stored in the C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\PlexMediaPlayer\Codecs\97a6171-pmp-260-windows-x86_64 to the same folder for the plexamp and it made no difference.
Interesting, It will play FLAC files properly.

Sorry, a few things here:
@“Jester.Tucker” — looks like something might not be working with OneDrive hosted files. If you’d like to PM me and share your cloud server with me, I can try to reproduce locally.
@Dale-Flix — the reason why it’s saying “ffmpeg: Unsupported audio codec” is because it relies on having a special environment variable set to tell it where to look for codecs. However, it does seem to start for you when run from the command line, so I’m … confused.
I am not sure my self. As it stands I can get it to work some times with out the manual start, other times it will not. I have stopped playing with it for now. The application is missing one of the main ways I listen to music. As it happens I most often listen to the same song over and over for a few hours. So until that is supported in the only place I use it on windows, I will just continue to use my Iphone Plex app to play the music for me the way I like. I will check back later to see any improvements. I need to finish my homes revers proxy. I get sick of having to rdp to a home system to manage the house, or deal with 10 different applications on my phone.
Thanks for the considerations.
Similar issue here with version 1.0.5. When I attempt to play a song, it generates the following error messages, then returns to the main browsing screen. Running Debian 8.10 under GNOME and i3wm (same results either way). Works fine on my Windows machine, though.

@mrmoniker ~ for some reason, the mpd is unable to start. Probably related to your specific flavor of Linux, not sure if the AppImage runs everywhere. If you figure out why it doesn’t run there, let us know, possibly we just need to package another library.
@elan you indicated earlier about the environment variable, what might that be. I found it. FFMPEG_EXTERNAL_LIBS \\?\C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Plexamp\Plexamp\Codecs\6bd6751-1276-windows-i386\
Is what mine is setting too when the application starts. I have updated to 1.0.5 and I am no longer having to start the MPD manually. Interestingly enough if I start playing files that are in the flac format they play perfectly. After a few of them play then anything will play. But if I start the session with playing a MP3 or other format than flac it fails.
I am attaching a few entries from my MPD log.
I know, it is still not repeating the same song over and over. It is better than having to keep swapping headsets.

the log seems to not be recording the latest session.
but all failed formats are now working after initializing with flac.
I have tried this 4 different sessions. between today and yesterday.
Okay I have final figured it out, or at least part of it. Here goes. Plexamp start up with out MPD started manually first. Some how it started and connects, to my server. The MPD that it is running is not some how finished with it’s startup.
I can start up MPD manually but when it is started it is not running with the environment variable you stated. So it can’t find the library. so If I start it up manually some how it is able to find the FLAC library it it can do it some other way. I can’t account for that.
I have been killing the manually started MPD I guess by the time I have completed 2-3 songs or repetitions, the internal MPD can be seen and talked to because then after killing the mpd I started it can continue playing for a good long while. I have listened to it most of the the day.
What I am missing is why is the internal MPD taking so long to finish it’s start. another interesting point to the findings is that if I don’t manually start mpd ahead of plexamp. the one that it is starting never starts at all. it will not play flac. I have let it sit there for up to 30 min. Way longer than my previous song list of flac and then kill and swap.
If I start the mpd manually, then start plaxamp, allow it to sit with out playing anything, for almost 5 min. then kill the manually started mpd. Plexamp again starts functioning.
I have placed a process trace on the mpd called internally. I can see based on memory consumption and ports it is listening on that is takes nearly the whole 5 min to start up. I am not running a slow system. there is no reason resource wise this is taking so long.
You can see in the server log the following entire, indicating the lack of ability to communicate with mpd after the start up.

Even when I start it manually it can take upwards of 1 fill min to start and indicate that it is ready.
These indication to me allow me to say, if the MPD is started and indicating it is responding before Plexamp is started then it will start function at least on some level. After the server is started for plexamp if it was never able to talk to the port 36600 for the mpd application then it never try again. If I have it started and pull it out from underneath it, it will continue to expect the port to be there and continue communicating with it even if the first mpd instance it was talking to is gone the second one (internal) as had a chance to get going and will pick up from there.
I hope this warrants the chance to say, I can make it work. but can you fix it? if you can, please also add repeat. single and all for the queue. 
I have also not been able to find anything in the logs to identify what is causing the delay in the internally call mpd startup.
Thank you,
Dale.
Hey @Dale-Flix, that is very curious. I’m not sure why MPD is taking so long to start, but that makes sense that it would cause the sort of issues you’re seeing.
Any chance you can get an MPD log from the internal one so we might have some notion of why it’s taking so long? You can add log_level "verbose" to get even more output.
Done, after 2 min of it by it’s self there has been no log items added the file is a 0 byte size. 8:05 am
This first one I did doing the MPD without the manual start first. after 30 min it did nothing. So I killed it.
started MPD manually.
took more than a min for MPD to start manually
still nothing in the log file.
mp3 issue due to Environment variable.
flac play,
9:04 am
one Flac song later kill manual mpd and internal one picks up and works.
