appimage doesn’t cut it. Snap, flatpack, deb/rpm, whatever but the current install is just broken.

Installed and works fine on Manjaro Plasm5 20.0 rc3
It works on some Linux distros. I think for now we just need to document which are supported.
And even then, with minimal effort, it will probably run on almost any distro.
Which distro are you running? Also, an AppImage isn’t an installer. It’s a package that (generally) includes everything needed to run an application. Something like a deb/RPM may have dependencies that need to be met/installed. An AppImage tries to eliminate this.
For anyone in this thread that’s missing a launcher icon, I’ve created a quick guide for adding one yourself:
The problem is that this is rediculous as it is. If you created a flatpack or snap this would solve itself and you wouldn’t have to maintain multiples.
If you did a deb and an rpm then you reach almost everyone.
This way is just way to complex for no reason and doesn’t work for you know what on Ubuntu because of security rules.

Attempting to install plexamp on Linux mint. I get to the login screen, enter my credentials in the browser - then nothing.
Is it me?
Same here. Cannot sign in. Clicking the sign in button does nothing. Arch latest.
It used to work for me (Ubuntu 18.04), but since I upgraded to 20.04 I can’t get it to launch anymore.
AppImage is super annoying. You have to navigate to the appimage every time. You can create a shortcut but you have to do it manually and find a plexamp icon to go with it. Then plexamp updates, the version changes in the name then the shortcut breaks. You can’t even press the super key and type ‘plexamp’ and press enter to launch it because it isn’t a real app unless you have created a shortcut.
AppImages are supposed to be convenient. They are not, they are annoying. ‘sudo apt install plexamp’ is convenient. Pressing the super key, typing ‘ple’ and pressing enter to launch plexamp is convenient.

I’ve had success running it on debian Linux debian 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2 (2019-08-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Running the appimage as follows allows the sign in portion to function properly (you may have to look around for the browser that it sent the authentication page to, or maybe you need to just have it open). The app functions great – I made shell script to run it even. I imagine this may work for a lot of the other posters here.
Spread this around if it works for you too:
./Plexamp-3.1.1.AppImage --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox --no-sandbox
I’ll add that I did have all the problems the previous posts are mentioning such as the app not running and the sign in button not working. The appimage needs to be executable chmod +x ./Plexamp-3.1.1.AppImage and the above two arguments seem to fix both issues for me.
Of course, use at your own risk, you are then allowing the application un-sandboxed access to your computer.
