Plexamp Linux will not start on OpenSUSE Leap

Plex Labs

I really like that Plex is beginning to support Linux. With the new Plexamp having a Linux package, with AppImage. I already tried it on Android. I have been missing Winamp ever since I moved over to Linux all those years ago.

I downloaded Plexamp-3.0.0.AppImage, but it does not work.
It opens up a small window, but it is all grey, and not repsonsive.
Running OpenSUSE Leap 15.1 and KDE.

./Plexamp.AppImage  
xdg-mime: application argument missing
Try 'xdg-mime --help' for more information.
Started Media Service: false
Linux: Registering MPRIS service.
Checking for update
Update for version 3.0.0 is not available (latest version: 3.0.0, downgrade is disallowed).
checkForUpdatesAndNotify called, downloadPromise is null

I have been using knapsu’s Plex Media Player AppImage on Linux, and it works fine.

Please see Run Plexamp v3.0.0 on Debian 10
and Plexamp 3.0 not starting on Arch linux
for some workarounds.

1 The first workaround did not work, with --no-sandbox.

2 The second workaround did not work, with --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox.

3 The issue with Redhat does not concern, me

After upgrade glibc to 2.30.9000-18 all tabs in Chromium-based browsers start crashing immediately after opening.

As I am using an slight older version of glibc, 2.26

Found this comment

I’m using the latest version of glibc , I’ve read it’s required for WebRTC in Electron. Maybe that’s a fix?

Which version of glibc does it require?

I am getting a very similar error on opensuse leap. none of the suggested workarounds have helped thus far:

I have tried later with Plexamp-3.0.1 and now Plexamp-3.0.2
None has worked. Same output in console, and a small window all grey.

Same problem with the latest Plexamp 3.0.3 for Linux

Same problem with the latest Plexamp 3.1.0 for Linux
