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.

```auto
./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.

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

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.
